A/C compressor speed sensor -G111-, (Zexel compressors 
only)
 
Note:  -  Inductive sensor (4 pulses per compressor rotation)
-  Determines A/C compressor speed; the A/C compressor clutch control 
module (Manual A/C) or the A/C control head (Automatic climate 
control) compares compressor speed to engine speed and calculates 
belt slippage (as a percentage) and switches compressor OFF if 
slippage is too large (for example, if belt is too loose.) 
A/C compressor speed sensor -G111- is not installed on Nippondenso 
compressors. A thermo-fuse is incorporated into the clutch coil of Nippondenso 
compressors. Current to the clutch coil is interrupted in the event of 
compressor overheating.
