Keep refrigerant moving through your air conditioning with the DENSO Auto Parts AC compressor, part number 471-1049, a new A/C compressor supplied with its clutch. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2015 Scion iQ (all engines), and each vehicle uses one compressor.
The compressor is the pump of the A/C system. It draws in low-pressure refrigerant vapor, compresses it, and sends it on through the rest of the system. The clutch engages and releases the compressor from its belt-driven pulley as cooling is called for.
Signs this part may need replacing include warm air from the vents with the A/C on, grinding or rattling noises while the compressor runs, or a clutch that does not engage. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the system before replacing the compressor. Follow the vehicle service information for refrigerant recovery, oil, and system flushing.
