Toyota Corolla (E120): On–vehicle inspection

1. Inspect pressure switch no.1.

  1. Magnetic clutch control: inspect pressure switch operation.
  1.  Set on the manifold gauge set.
  2.  Connect the positive (+) lead from the ohmmeter to terminal 4 and the negative (–) lead to terminal 1.
  3.  Check continuity between terminals when refrigerant pressure is changed, as shown in the illustration.

If operation is not as specified, replace the pressure switch.

  1. Cooling fan control: inspect pressure switch operation.
  1. Connect the positive (+) lead from the ohmmeter to terminal 2 and the negative (–) lead to terminal 3.
  2.  Check continuity between terminals when refrigerant pressure is changed, as shown in the illustration.

If operation is not as specified, replace the pressure switch.

2. Cooler compressor assy w/magnetic clutch

    Circuit description
    The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in lock–up condition, when brakes are suddenly applied. When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signals to the ecm. Then the ecm cancels the operation of the lock–up clutch while braking is i ...

    Inspection procedure
    Hint: read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the obd ii scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the ...
