Compressor Clutch: Description and Operation




SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Auto amplifier controls compressor operation by ambient temperature and signal from ECM.

Low Temperature Protection Control
Auto amplifier will turn the compressor "ON" or "OFF" as determined by a signal detected by ambient sensor.

When ambient temperatures are greater than -2 °C (28 °F), the compressor turns "ON". The compressor turns "OFF" when ambient temperatures are less than -5 °C (23 °F).
