  2. Check the pulley (B) bearing play and drag by rotating the pulley by hand. Replace the clutch set with a new one if it is noisy or has excessive play/drag.
  3. Check operation of the magnetic clutch.

    Connect the compressor side terminals to the battery (+) terminal and the ground battery (-) terminal to the compressor body. Check the magnetic clutch operating noise to determine the condition.

External Control Valve Compressor Inspection (GDS) 

Compressor type: Fixed type compressor, External control valve, Internal control valve.

In cases of fixed type and internal control valve, it is possible to inspect compressor's operation with clutch noise.

When it comes to External control valve, however, it cannot be checked in this way because it doesn't have a clutch.

So, ECV should be inspected with GDS as below.

  1. Connect GDS to the vehicle and select 'Aircon Compressor Test (ECV type)'

    [ECV1]

    CAUTION: Check if condenser fan is operating when condition is changed to 'ECV running'
    CAUTION: Relief valve will be operated if a condenser fan doesn't work because of overpressure in the compressor. It helps the air-conditioning system to relieve by releasing refrigerant and oil. (Closed if relieved)
    * Refill refrigerant and oil after operation of Relief valve
    * Noise occurred when Relief valve is in operation
  5. Check the result of inspection and click 'Check Detail' if it's 'Check'. Follow the instruction and inspect ECV again from the first step.
