How does the air conditioner compressor cycle on and off?
How does the air conditioner compressor cycle on and off?
That car has a cycling compressor clutch switch (CCOT) type system. It shuts the compressor off at approximately 22 to 26 psi and turns it on again a around 44 psi. The system contains an orfice tube that meters the refrigerant into the evaporator to allow cooling to take place.
Why is my car air conditioner cycling on and off?
I turned the A/C off and stopped putting R-134a into it becuase the compressor cycling was almost causing the car to die from the load it was putting on the engine. Onto Google I went. Everywhere I turned, people said that if the compressor was cycling on and off quickly, that meant the compressor was low on freon.
Why does my air conditioner compressor not turn on?
The air conditioner is not cold because of that. To keep the compressor on I removed the relay and jumped the terminals to turn it on. The low side was below 15 psi. I hooked up the 18oz can of Arctic Chill and put the whole can in.
Why does my car compressor stop kicking on and off?
Some of the freon was taken out of the vehicle and the guy said there most likely was some air in the line that wasn’t helping things. After taking some out, the compressor stopped kicking on and off – and the high pressure then stayed fairly stable between 325 and 350 psi. Test drive time!

What’s the low side of the air conditioner compressor?
The low side was below 15 psi. I hooked up the 18oz can of Arctic Chill and put the whole can in. After disconnecting the can, but keeping the gauge on I put the relay back in and watched the gauge go up and down. So… pressure goes down to 25 AND compressor turns OFF. If I bypass the relay, the compressor runs and stays on.
