The engine ECU puts the power transistor under voltage following the entry of the air conditioning start signal coming from the air conditioning ECU (CAN communication)

The air conditioning compressor relay energises and activates the air conditioning compressor

When the vehicle is driving under high load conditions (fast acceleration) the engine management ECU cuts the relay of the air-conditioning compressor for a predetermined period

Cutting the load of the air-conditioning compressor for a predetermined period gives the maximum engine power
