Inspection Procedure: Disc & Hub / Pulley Diagnosis (Abnormal Noises)
1.
With the Engine "Off", visually inspect the disc and rubber insulator for abnormal signs of heat or distortion of the rubber insulator on the disc &
hub. Determine root cause of abnormal signs of heat and or disc & hub distortion, and repair. If the disc & hub are visually ok, continue on to
functional test in steps # 2 - 5.
2.
Start Engine. Turn the Air Conditioning (HVAC) to the "On" position.
3.
Verify engagement of the compressor disc & hub, monitor the cycling of the compressor clutch for abnormal noises / knocking and vibrations
during disc & hub engagement. If abnormal noises and vibrations are suspected in the disc & hub assembly, proceed to step # 4.
4.
Allow the A/C to cycle for a period of ten (10) minutes and examine the front of the A/C disc & hub for abnormal concentric disc & hub rotations
after A/C clutch engagement. After the A/C has cycled off, visually inspect for abnormal rubbing or engagement of the disc & hub. If you suspect
that the disc & hub is worn, remove the disc & hub and inspect for abnormal wear or slipping conditions / face wear and replace if necessary
following the service procedures in this bulletin.
