A/C Compressor Relay

The A/C compressor relay provides battery voltage to the A/C compressor clutch coil. The relay is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM).

High Pressure Cutoff Switch

The system is equipped with a high pressure cutoff switch.

This switch is normally closed. The switch opens at 2827-3103 kPa (410-450 psi) in order to interrupt voltage to the A/C compressor clutch coil.

This action will cause the following effects:

    • The A/C compressor will stop cycling
    • The pressure relief valve will be prevented from discharging refrigerant and oil
