Air Conditioning Clutch Switch

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

On factory installed A/C system, PCM receives signal voltage from Air Conditioning Clutch (ACC) switch, indicating that the air conditioning compressor clutch is engaged. The PCM uses the ACC switch signal to adjust line pressure to compensate for additional engine load. If the ACC switch fails with closed contacts, line pressure will be slightly low with air conditioning off. If the ACC switch fails with open contacts, line pressure will be slightly higher with air conditioning on.
