A/C Cut-Out System

2008 Mazda 6 s Sport, 4D Hatchback, StandardSECTION A/C Cut-Out System
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2003 Mazda Tribute, 2003 Mazda Protege5, 2003 Mazda Protege, 2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata, and 2003 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

During acceleration (60 percent throttle or more with transmission in gear and clutch pedal released) and about 2-5 seconds after starting the engine and during heavy acceleration, the PCM opens the A/C relay, cutting off power to the A/C compressor clutch. This improves idle after start-up and performance during heavy acceleration.
