System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus ES 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ECM sends an engine speed signal to the A/C amplifier via CAN communication.
The A/C amplifier reads the difference between compressor speed and engine speed. When the difference becomes too large, the A/C amplifier determines that the compressor locks, and turns the magnetic clutch off.
