A/C Compressor Clutch Controls

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The A/C compressor clutch relay is controlled by the PCM. The PCM improves idle quality by delaying A/C compressor clutch engagement until idle speed is increased, or disengages A/C compressor clutch when idle speed is too low. A/C compressor clutch is cycled by PCM. PCM smooths cycling of A/C compressor clutch by adding fuel the instant A/C compressor clutch is applied.

NOTE: See the WIRING DIAGRAMS article for component location, terminal and wire color identification.
