Compressor Clutch: Component Tests and General Diagnostics

After a new compressor clutch has been installed, cycle the compressor clutch approximately twenty times (five seconds ON, then five seconds OFF).
During this procedure, set the A/C Heater control to the Recirculation Mode, the blower motor switch in the highest speed position, and the engine speed
at 1500 to 2000 rpm. This procedure (burnishing) will seat the opposing friction surfaces and provide a higher compressor clutch torque capability.
