Purpose
The magnetic clutch transmits the rotation force from the engine to the shaft in the A/C compressor.
Function
The magnetic clutch engages or disengages the magnetic clutch and the A/C turns on or off by switching the power transmission from the engine.
Construction
The magnetic clutch is installed to the A/C compressor.
The magnetic clutch consists of the following parts:
Pressure plate
A/C compressor pulley
Stator
Snap ring
Shim
Operation
Magnetic clutch disengagement
1. If there is no energization in the magnetic clutch stator from the A/C relay, the pressure plate cannot be engaged with the A/C compressor pulley because the magnetic clutch stator does not operate.
2. The rotation force from the drive belt is only transmitted to the A/C compressor pulley and the pulley spins.
Magnetic clutch engagement
1. If there is energization in the magnetic clutch stator from the A/C relay, the magnetic clutch stator operates and the pressure plate is engaged with the A/C compressor pulley.
2. The rotation force from the drive belt is transmitted to the compressor shaft through the pressure plate from the A/C compressor pulley.

Refrigerant System Service Cautions
Handling Insufficient Refrigerant Level
If an insufficient refrigerant level is detected at troubleshooting, do
not charge (add) the refrigerant. Because an accurate amount of refrigerant
cannot be determined from the pressure indicated on the manifold gauge, never
