A/C Relay

A/C Circuit:

PURPOSE
In addition to responding to the A/C switch to turn the air conditioning compressor "ON," the A/C relay has a cut function controlled by the ECU. This enables the ECU to turn the compressor "OFF" when it receives a "full throttle" signal from the throttle sensor, ensuring maximum availability of engine power for acceleration. A faulty A/C cut relay does not set a trouble code.

LOCATION
The relay is mounted on a bracket above the A/C evaporator.
