 SYSTEM OUTLINE
1. HEATER BLOWER OPERATION
Manual operation
When the blower speed is set to a certain level using the blower control SW, the A/C control assembly sends the signals to
the blower control to control the blower motor speed.
Auto operation
When the auto SW is turned on, the A/C control assembly sends the signals from various sensors and temperature SW to
the blower control to automatically control the blower motor speed.
2. AIR INLET CONTROL SERVO MOTOR CONTROL
When the FRESH/RECIRC select SW is set to RECIRC, the motor in the air inlet control servo motor starts rotating to move
the damper toward the RECIRC side. The motor is continuously rotated until the damper reaches its stop position. When the
FRESH/RECIRC select SW is set to FRESH, the motor in the air inlet control servo motor starts rotating to move the damper
toward the FRESH side. The motor is continuously rotated until the damper reaches its stop position.
3. AIR VENT MODE CONTROL SERVO MOTOR CONTROL
When the mode select SW is pushed, the ECU in the A/C control assembly activates the air vent mode control servo motor.
This causes the servo motor to rotate to the position (FACE, BI–LEVEL, FOOT, FOOT/DEF, DEF) selected using the mode
select SW, and moves the film damper.
4. AIR MIX CONTROL SERVO MOTOR CONTROL
When the temperature control SW is pressed, the ECU in the A/C control assembly sends a signal to the air mix control
servo motor. This signal drives the motor to reach the temperature set by the temperature control SW, and moves the film
damper.
5. AIR CONDITIONING OPERATION
The A/C control assembly receives various signals, I.E., the engine RPM from the crankshaft position sensor, outlet
temperature signal from the A/C ambient temp. sensor, coolant temperature from the engine coolant temp. sensor, etc.
When the engine is started and the A/C SW is on, a signal is input to the ECU (Built into the A/C control assembly) to engine
control module, through communication control of the body ECU etc. As a result, the current flows from A/C fuse to
TERMINAL 1 of the A/C COMP relay to TERMINAL 2 to TERMINAL ACMG of the engine control module, turning the relay
on so that the A/C magnetic clutch is on and the A/C compressor operates. At the same time, the engine control module
detects the magnetic clutch is on and the A/C compressor operates and rotates the motor to the open direction to avoid
lowering the engine RPM during A/C operation. When any of the following signals are input to the A/C control assembly, the
A/C control assembly operates to turn off the air conditioning.
∗ Coolant temp. signal is high.
∗ A signal that the temperature at the air outlet is low.
∗ A signal that there is a large difference between engine speed and compressor speed.
∗ A signal that the refrigerant pressure is abnormally high or low.
