Compressor Clutch: Service and Repair
A/C Compressor Clutch Break-In
STANDARD PROCEDURE - A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH BREAK-IN
After new clutch installation, cycle the A/C clutch 20 times (5 seconds ON and 5 seconds OFF). During this procedure, set the system to the A/C
mode, engine rpm at 1500-2000, and high blower speed. This procedure (burnishing) will seat the opposing friction surfaces and provide a higher
clutch torque capability.
NOTE: Excessive clutch gap will result in clutch slippage or non-engagement.
