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 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      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 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      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.
