1. Check the armature plate for discoloration, peeling,
or other damage. If there is d a m a g e , replace the
clutch set (see page 21-95).
2. Check the rotor pulley bearing play and drag by
rotating the rotor pulley by hand. Replace the
clutch set w i t h a new one if it is noisy or has
excessive play/drag (see page 21-95).
3. Measure the clearance between the rotor pulley (A)
and the armature plate (B) all the w a y around. If the
clearance is not w i t h i n specified limits, remove the
armature plate (see page 21-95) and add or remove
shims as needed to increase or decrease clearance.
Clearance: 0.35—0.65 mm (0.014—0.026 in.)
NOTE: The shims are available in four thicknesses:
0.1 m m , 0.2 m m , 0.4 m m , and 0.5 m m .
4. Remove the bolt and holder, then disconnect the
field coil connectors. Check the thermal protector
for continuity. If there is no continuity, replace the
thermal protector (see page 21-96).
NOTE: The thermal protector will have no
continuity above 252 to 262 °F (122 to 128 °C).
W h e n the temperature drops below 241 to 219 °F
(116 to 104 °C), the t h e r m a l protector will have
continuity.
5. Check the resistance between the A/C compressor
clutch 3P connector t e r m i n a l No. 2 and the A/C
compressor housing. If resistance is not w i t h i n
specifications, replace the field coil (see page
21-95).
Field Coil Resistance: 3.05—3.35 Q at 68 °F
(20 °C)
