MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
Control System Description
CONTROL OPERATION
Front air control
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL
Increases or decreases the set temperature.
RECIRCULATION ( ) SWITCH
- When REC switch is ON, REC switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is set to REC.
- When REC switch is turned OFF, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC switch is automatically turned OFF. REC mode can be re-entered by pressing REC switch again.
- REC switch is not operated when DEF switch is turned ON, at the D/F position, or in floor position.
DEFROSTER ( ) SWITCH
Positions the air outlet doors to the defrost position. Also positions the intake doors to the outside air position, and turns A/C compressor ON.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH (IF EQUIPPED)
When switch is ON, rear window and door mirrors are defogged.
OFF SWITCH
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the outside air position, and the air outlet doors are set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.
BLOWER CONTROL DIAL/OFF SWITCH
- The blower speed is manually controlled with this dial.
- The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the outside air position, and the air outlet doors are set to the foot position.
A/C SWITCH
The compressor is ON or OFF.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the AUTO switch is ON will turn off the A/C switch and compressor.)
MODE SWITCHES
Controls the air discharge outlets.
MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
When A/C switch or DEF switch is pressed, front air control inputs compressor ON signal to BCM.
BCM sends compressor ON signal to ECM and front air control, via CAN communication line.
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant pressure sensor signal, throttle angle sensor, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON signal to IPDM E/R, via CAN communication line.
Upon receipt of compressor ON signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns air conditioner relay ON to operate compressor.
