A vehicle returns to the shop for a repeat failure of the compressor system due to compressor clutch slippage and overheating.Which of the following is the most likely cause?
A) A loose drive belt
B) High resistence in the comprssor clutch electrical circuit.
C) A low refrigerant charge level.
D) A faulty compressor clutch diode.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High resistance in the compressor clutch electrical circuit can lead to insufficient current reaching the clutch coil, causing it to slip and overheat due to inadequate engagement. This is a common cause of repeat failures in the compressor system when other mechanical aspects like the drive belt tension and refrigerant charge level are within specifications, and there's no direct indication of a faulty diode.
