SYMPTOM: Magnet clutch does not engage.




INSPECTION FLOW

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. controls compressor operation by ambient temperature and signal from ECM.

Low Temperature Protection Control
Unified meter and A/C amp. Will Turn compressor ON or OFF as determined by a signal detected by ambient sensor and intake sensor.




When ambient temperatures are greater than -2 °C (28 °F), the compressor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when ambient temperatures are less than -5 °C (23 °F).




When intake air temperatures are greater than 1 °C (34 °F), the compressor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when intake air temperatures are less than -5 °C (23 °F).
