I have never used it, just saw it on the website.
It looks like the one you described, possibly the same manufacturer.

AC compressor causing PCM to fail? by desmo750ss

This is what the dealer said from a service bulletin. Apparently the diode in the clutch assy is defective causing the PCM to fail.
My 55Kmi CRD just died on the road with many engine codes. First they blamed that I ran out of fuel (with 1/4 left) then they said it was blowing fuses and was a bad harness. Now, after they spent 4 billable hours, they say its a bad PCM due to the bad diode. The good news is the PCM is under the 8/80 warranty. The bad news is that the labor and parts to replace the ac clutch is 1291 plus tax.
Does this sound right or?........
Thanks

It is possible.
The diode is used to block the spike caused by the shutting off of power to the coil that runs the clutch. That spike could cause all sorts of things to happen in the PCM.
 
I think $1300 for the A/C clutch is high, for that they must be replacing the whole compressor. The parts manual does not show the clutch as a separate part.
 
If you have an 8/80 warranty, why doesn't it also cover the A/C?

1300 includes the diagnosis of the problem. The PCM is covered under the emissions warranty but the AC clutch is not I only have the extended drivetrain warrantee so no coverage there. First they wanted to replace the entire AC compressor assy ($1790 quoted) but I argued successfully to only change the clutch and they agreed.

Desmo750ss,
I checked the diode and fuse issue:
- The diode is located / soldered in the connector of the wiring harness.
- It costs a few cents and a TV / Radio repair person can change it for you.
 
There are several references that can be used, as long as they have low leakage current. Good luck (FJ36Y)
