Determine "Dimension 1" 

z

Using depth gauge -1-, measure gap between top of clutch plate -3- and clutch pulley -2- at three equally 
spaced locations (measurement must not deviate). See Fig. 50 .  

Determine "Dimension 2" 

z

If compressor is installed in vehicle, disconnect compressor electrical connector -4- from vehicle wiring 
harness. See Fig. 50 .  

z

Using a jumper wire, energize the clutch coil by applying 12V to connector -A- (battery terminal B+). If 
compressor is removed from vehicle, compressor must be grounded.  

z

With clutch energized, measure gap between pulley -2- and clutch plate -3- with depth gauge -1-. 

The allowable gap (0.4-0.8 mm / 0.015-0.023 in) is the difference between "Dimension 1" and 
"Dimension 2". 

NOTE:

z

Gap must be within tolerance around entire circumference.
