626 V6-2496cc 2.5L DOHC (1995)
Compressor Clutch: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Pressure Plate Clearance
1. Measure the clearance between the pressure plate and the rotor pulley.
(1) Set the A/C compressor on a level block.
(2) Fix a dial gauge on a magnetic base and set the measuring probe on the pressure plate surface.
(3) Alternately apply and remove battery positive voltage as shown in the figure. The clearance is the difference in the dial gauge readings.
(4) Compare the measure clearance with the specified clearance below.
Clearance: O.4 - O.6 mm {O.O16 - 0.O23 in}
2. If not as specified, install shims to adjust the clearance.
Stator Inspection
1. Set the ohmmeter to the
x1,OOO Ohm range.
2. Verify that there is continuity between the stator terminal and the A/C compressor body.
3. If there is no continuity, replace the stator.
