SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Auto amp. controls compressor operation by ambient temperature, intake air temperature (with diesel engine)
and signal from ECM.
Low Temperature Protection Control (With Gasoline Engine)
Auto amp. will turn compressor ON or OFF as determined by a sig-
nal detected by ambient sensor.
When ambient temperatures are higher than −2°C (28°F), compres-
sor turns ON. Compressor turns OFF when ambient temperatures
are lower than −5°C (23°F).
Evaporator Freeze Protection Control (With Diesel Engine)
Auto amp. will turn compressor ON or OFF as determined by a sig-
nal detected by intake sensor.
When intake air temperatures are higher than 4°C (39°F), compres-
sor turns ON. Compressor turns OFF when intake temperatures are
lower than 2.5°C (37°F).
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR MAGNET CLUTCH
SYMPTOM: Magnet clutch does not engage when A/C switch is ON.
