Major Components
Compressor
• Engine mounted, driven by the accessory drive belt
• Variable displacement type
• High-pressure relief valve, to avoid system over-pressure
• ECU controlled clutch energised via a relay
Receiver drier
• Vertically mounted on the right-hand side of the engine bay
• The high-side charge port is installed to the high side entry pipe to the receiver drier
Condenser
• Multi-pass fin-over-tube type, mounted in front of the engine cooling pack and directly to the radiator
Trinary switch
Located in the compressor discharge pipe
• Provides a signal, via the A/C module, to the PCM, to disengage the compressor clutch should the refrigerant
pressure be less than 2 bar or greater than 30 bar
• Provides a hard-wired signal to the PCM, to switch the cooling fans to HIGH speed at 22 bar rising pressure and
to LOW speed at 17,5 bar falling pressure
• Provides a hard-wired signal to the PCM, to switch the radiator cooling fans to LOW speed at 12 bar rising
pressure and to switch the fans OFF at 8 bar falling
pressure
Expansion Valve
The expansion valve is located on the outside of the A/C unit
and comprises of a diaphragm, connected by a capillary
tube to a temperature sensing bulb, which regulates the
valve according to temperature variations at the evaporator
outlet pipe. This component is not serviceable.

Power Supply (14.00)
Alternator and Regulator System (14.02)
Description
The alternator installed to this vehicle is a Denso, SC1, 120
amp rating, with a 14.4 volt regulator.
The Alternator has an 'Altmon' signal that goes to and from
the PCM via a wire in the 3 way connector.
The ‘Altmon’ signal is monitored by the PCM which adjusts
ignition timing and fuelling if necessary to maintain idle
speed when the alternator is charging.
