The Ambient Sensor is on the bonnet lock support, at the front of the radiator. If it is open circuit or the wiring is disconnected or high resistance, the auto amplifier will be signalled that the temperature is below 10* C and the clutch will cycle continuously by way of protection against freezing. At an ambient of 25 Deg. C it should measure 3,000 ohms and at 30, 2,400.

More Info.
Sorry JoAnn, not a chauvinist, have trained a number of female auto mechanics.
Back to the problem. There appears to be a condition where the compressor is turned on/off when a freezing condition can happen. You probably know about this, but the book says that when very cold conditions are present the compressor is turned on/off. This appears to involve the Compressor Actuator Solenoid control, Evaporator sensor, Ambient sensor, and the Refrigerant sensor. This may be a chance. I've put the scans of checking these sensors in my locker, and can be seen here. http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/user.php?oab_au|35851 A failure in any of these units, should have shown up in the code check. The "Step 2." that checks all the operative components is used to check the current flow to the Actuator Solenoid. This is run by a duty cycle, so it can't be checked by a voltage check, the current has to be measured. Hope this gets us closer, Harvey.
