AEM EMS and A/C

So, i just ran my A/C lines further away from the turbo for better cooling.
Now my A/C is not runnung.
I found a setting for A/C in the AEM program.
When I checked out it said (switch always off)
I changed it to (switch always on) the A/C ran just fine but it wouldn't switched off.
There was other settings.
The question is:
The AEM unit runs the A/C?
and if it does what setting are you guys using?
Any help would be appreciated

Re: AEM EMS and A/C

I have it plug in that way.
It's just weird that I can activate the compressor with my lap top.
there is a setting for high pressure and low pressure activation.
Also there is an RPM compensation for it.
Thing that would off come in handy cause I had my cat at 1400rpm at itle to compensate for the A/C .

Re: AEM EMS and A/C

AEM EMS is setup that way cause on most cars you do not use the stock ecu with it.

A/C Min 500rpm
A/C off above 90%
A/C on delay .52 S
Idle A/C 3.91%
A/C Switch #3 Grd=On
A/C Clutch LS6

Use these settings and all should be fine.

Do the fans come on at all? Or is just not operating under the default switch?

Re: AEM EMS and A/C

fans work under the default setting.

I did all the changes as you suggested.
Compresor still won't engage.
I experimented under different setting and the compressor works, the whole system works fine but it won't shut off manually.

I called AEM they sugested that I change the A/C parameters from
A/C to switch #3

I tried your settings in combination with the parameter settings and I get the same issues on all the time or off all the time.

This is very stange!
i got to get to the bottom of this.

I do appreciate all your help.

Re: AEM EMS and A/C

AEM tech support can't figure it out.
I took it to an electrician and he jumped a wire from the ECU to the main A/C switch.
It all was going good, I drove the car home with a cold *** interior.
Right?
So it started to rain and ,I turned the headlights on, and the compresor stoped working WTF
So I have to go back and tried to figure that out.
