COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC CLUTCH (for 4WD): Inspection

  1. INSPECT A/C COMPRESSOR 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E8-1 (MG+) - A-1 Always Below 1 Ω
      E8-1 (MG+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      If the resistance is not as specified, replace the A/C compressor.

  2. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH 
    1. Measure the resistance of the connector.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A-1 - Body ground Always 3.4 to 3.8 Ω

      If the resistance is not as specified, replace the magnetic clutch.

    2. When connector terminal A1 is connected to the positive (+) battery terminal, check that the following occurs: 1) the magnetic clutch's operating sound can be heard, and 2) the magnetic clutch's hub and rotor lock.

  3. INSPECT A/C COMPRESSOR (LOCK SENSOR) 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      E8-2 (SSR+) - E8-5 (SSR-) 160 to 320 Ω

      If the resistance is not as specified, replace the A/C compressor.
