Compressor/Pump: Description and Operation

NOTE:
^ The compressor motor contains a thermal overload circuit breaker. The circuit breaker automatically resets if tripped by excessive heat.
^ The compressor air drier may be serviced separately.

The air compressor assembly:
^ consists of the compressor and vent solenoid; neither is serviceable.
^ is mounted in the engine compartment on the LH fender apron below the engine air cleaner (ACL).
^ is a single-cylinder electric motor-driven unit which provides pressurized air as required.
^ is powered by a relay, controlled by the control module.
^ passes pressurized air through the compressor air drier which contains silica gel (a drying agent).
^ moisture is then removed from the compressor air drier when vented air passes out of the system during vent operation.
