Air Conditioning Compressor Magnetic Clutch Circuit: Procedure
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn Techstream main switch on.
- Turn the A/C switch on and off.
- Select the item below in the Data List, and read the display on Techstream.DATA LIST / ENGINE:
Tester Display Measure Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note A/C Signal
(A/C Signal)A/C signal / ON or OFF ON: A/C ON
OFF: A/C OFF- OK
The display is as specified in the normal condition column.
NG → See step 8
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT FUSE (A/C NO. 2)
- Remove the A/C NO. 2 fuse from the instrument panel junction block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuse.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A/C NO. 2 Always Below 1 Ω
NG → REPLACE FUSE (A/C NO. 2)
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT MAGNET-CLUTCH RELAY (MG/CLT)
- Remove the MG/CLT relay from the engine room relay block and junction block.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 3 - 5 When battery voltage is not applied to terminals 1 and 2 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 5 When battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2 Below 1 Ω
NG → REPLACE MAGNET-CLUTCH RELAY (MG/CLT)
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (A/C AMPLIFIER - BATTERY)
- Disconnect the connector from the air conditioning amplifier.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D37-20 (MGC) - Body ground Ignition switch off Below 1 V D37-20 (MGC) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER
- Reconnect the connector to the air conditioning amplifier.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D37-20 (MGC) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG)
Air conditioning switch: OFF11 to 14 V D37-20 (MGC) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG)
Air conditioning switch: ONBelow 1 V
NG → See step 9
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC CLUTCH
- Disconnect the connector from the compressor and magnetic clutch.
- Measure the resistance of the connector.
- When connector terminal 3 (MG+) is connected to the positive (+) battery terminal, and the body ground is connected to the negative (-) battery terminal, check that the following occurs: 1) the magnetic clutch's operating sound is emitted, and 2) the magnetic clutch's hub and rotor lock.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition B66-3 (MG+) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
NG → See step 10
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE ROOM R/B AND J/B - BATTERY)
- Remove the MG/CLT relay from the engine room relay block and junction block.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Relay block MG/CLT relay terminal 5 - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V Relay block MG/CLT relay terminal 1 - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (ENGINE ROOM R/B AND J/B - BATTERY)
OK → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (ENGINE ROOM R/B AND J/B - A/C COMPRESSOR)
- PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER. Refer to REMOVAL
- REPLACE COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC CLUTCH. Refer to REMOVAL
