A/C Compressor
The A/C compressor (1) used on this vehicle can be one of two models, depending upon the transaxle in the vehicle. Vehicles with a manual transaxle use the Denso 10S15 reciprocating swash plate-type A/C compressor, while vehicles with an automatic transaxle use the Denso 10S17 A/C compressor. These A/C compressors use an aluminum swash plate, teflon coated pistons and aluminum sleeveless cylinder walls and have an A/C high pressure switch located on the back cover of the compressor. The A/C compressor is secured with four bolts (2) to the lower front strut-to-engine bracket (3).
A label identifying the use of R-134a refrigerant is located on the A/C compressor.
