Coil Resistance Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
- Disconnect the wire harness connector from the A/C clutch field coil connector.
- Use an ohmmeter and measure the resistance of the clutch field coil at the field coil connector terminals.
- Refer to A/C CLUTCH FIELD COIL SPECIFICATIONS for the acceptable A/C clutch field coil resistance. Specifications apply for a work area temperature of 21° C (70° F).
- If the A/C clutch field coil reading is below specifications, the coil is shorted and must be replaced.
- If the A/C clutch field coil reading is above specifications, the coil is open and must be replaced.
