Component

Description

1 IPDM E/R Refer to PCS-5, "RELAY CONTROL SYSTEM : System Description".
2 ECM The ECM sends a compressor ON request to the IPDM E/R based on the status of engine operation and load as well as refrigerant pressure information. If all the conditions are met for A/C operation, the ECM transmits the compressor ON request to the IPDM E/R.
3 A/C Compressor Vaporized refrigerant is drawn into the A/C compressor from the evaporator, where it is compressed to a high pressure, high temperature vapor. The hot, compressed vapor is then discharged to the condenser.
4 Refrigerant pressure sensor Refer to EC-28, "Refrigerant Pressure Sensor".

Component

Description

1 Front blower relay The front blower relay controls the flow of current to fuse 17 and 27 in the Fuse Block (J/B).

The relay is grounded when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

2 BCM The BCM receives the fan ON and A/C ON signals from the front air control and sends a compressor ON request to the ECM.
3 Front air control The front air control controls the operation of the A/C and heating system based on inputs from the temperature control knob, the mode switches, the blower control dial, the intake sensor, and inputs received from the ECM across the CAN. Diagnosis of the front air control can be performed using the CONSULT. There is no self-diagnostic feature available.
4 Variable blower control The variable blower control controls the speed of the blower motor by controlling the ground circuit of the blower motor. The front air control provides voltage to the gate of the variable blower control based on the position of the blower control dial.
5 Intake door motor The intake door motor controls the position of the intake door. Fresh air is allowed to enter the cabin in one position, and recirculated inside air is allowed to enter in the other position. The intake door motor receives position commands from the front air control.
6 Intake sensor The intake sensor measures the temperature of the front evaporator fins. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
7 Air mix door motor The air mix door controls the mix of hot or cold air that enters the ventilation system. It is controlled by the front air control based on the position of the temperature dial. The air mix door motor LH receives position commands from the front air control.
8 Mode door motor The mode door controls the direction the conditioned air passes through the ventilation system.

Through a series of levers and gears, the mode door controls the defrost door, the foot door, and the vent door. There are 5 preset positions: VENT, B/L, FOOT, D/F, and DEF. The mode door motor receives position commands from the front air control.

9 Front blower motor The blower motor varies the speed at which the air flows through the ventilation system.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Control by ECM

Control by IPDM E/R

Air Flow Control

DESCRIPTION

FAN SPEED CONTROL AT DOOR MOTOR OPERATION

When mode door motor is activated while air flow is more than the specified value, front air control temporarily reduces fan speed so that mode door moves smoothly.

Air Inlet Control

The intake door position is automatically controlled in MAX A/C and DEF modes. The intake door is controlled by customer input in the other modes.

Air Outlet Control

Air outlet control is controlled by customer input. When the A/C is turned off by turning the blower control dial fully counterclockwise, the front air control retains the current selections and returns to these selections the next time the blower control dial is turned to any fan position.

NOTE: If ambient temperature is excessively low, D/F is selected to prevent windshield fogging when air outlet is set to FOOT.

Compressor Control

DESCRIPTION

In order for the IPDM E/R to complete a compressor ON request, the following conditions must be met:

  1.  The BCM detects a Fan ON signal from the front air control. The front air control grounds the fan ON signal monitored by the BCM when the blower speed dial is in any of the fan speed positions.
  2.  The BCM detects an A/C ON signal from the front air control. The front air control grounds the A/C ON signal monitored by the BCM when:

NOTE: If the compressor was engaged by pressing the D/F or DEF mode buttons, and the time spent in either mode exceeds 1 minute, then the compressor stays requested, even when modes other than D/F or DEF are selected, until either:

  1.  The ignition switch is turned OFF.
  2.  The blower speed dial is turned completely counterclockwise to the OFF position.
  3.  The A/C switch is manually turned OFF.

In other words, the compressor ON request cannot be turned off in D/F or DEF modes

REFRIGERANT PRESSURE PROTECTION

The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressures by the refrigerant pressure sensor, located on the liquid tank on the condenser. The refrigerant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends a voltage signal to the ECM. If the system pressure rises above or falls below the following values, the ECM requests the IPDM E/R to de-energize the A/C relay and disengage the compressor.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.

When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an abnormal level [more than 2,990 kPa (30.5 kg/ cm2, 433.6 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant into the atmosphere.

COMPRESSOR OIL CIRCULATION CONTROL

When the engine starts while the engine coolant temperature is 56°C (133°F) or less, ECM activates the compressor for approximately 6 seconds and circulates the compressor lubricant once.

LOW TEMPERATURE PROTECTION CONTROL

OPERATING RATE CONTROL

When the set temperature is other than fully cold or the air outlet is “VENT”, “B/L” or “FOOT”, the front air control controls the compressor activation depending on ambient temperature.

Switch Operation

A/C switch Switches the compressor control switch indicator between ON ⇔ OFF with each press while front blower fan is activated. The circuit used by the BCM to detect an A/C ON request is grounded.

NOTE: When front blower fan is OFF, the compressor control cannot be activated.

Blower control dial (with OFF switch)
  • Blower fan speed is manually controlled with the dial for varying blower speed. When ON, the circuit used by the BCM to detect a fan ON request signal is grounded.
  •  Turns air conditioning system OFF.

NOTE: When blower control dial is turned to any ON position the air conditioning system is activated. (Compressor control state returns to the previous state before air conditioning system was turned OFF.)

DEF switch Switches DEF mode (switch indicator) between ON ⇔ OFF with each press.
  •  When DEF mode is turned ON, the air conditioning system changes to the following state.
  •  Air inlet: Fresh air intake
  •  Air outlet: DEF
  •  Blower fan: Manual setting.
  •  Compressor: ON
  •  When DEF mode is turned OFF, the air conditioning system state returns to the previous state before DEF mode was selected, but the following state is continued:
  • - Air inlet: Fresh air intake
  •  Compressor: ON

NOTE: When front blower fan is OFF, DEF cannot be activated.

MAX A/C switch Switches the MAX A/C and compressor control switch indicators between ON ⇔ OFF with each press while front blower fan is activated.
  •  When MAX A/C mode is turned ON, the air conditioning system changes to the following state.
  • Air inlet: Recirculation air intake
  •  Air outlet: Manual setting
  •  Blower fan: Manual setting.
  •  Compressor: ON
  • When MAX A/C mode is turned OFF, the air conditioning system state returns to the previous state before MAX A/C mode is selected. But, the following state is changed:
  •  Air inlet: Fresh air intake
  •  Compressor: ON

NOTE: When front blower fan is OFF, the compressor control cannot be activated.

MODE switches Selects air outlet from VENT, B/L, FOOT, and D/F.

NOTE: When the air conditioning system is OFF, the air outlet can still be selected.

REC switch
  • Air inlet is selected to fresh air intake (REC) by pressing this switch.
  •  REC indicator: ON

NOTE:

  •  When the air conditioning system is OFF, the air inlet can still be selected.
  •  When D/F mode or DEF is selected, the REC button is disabled.
Temperature control dial
  • Selects desired temperature between full cold and full hot.
  •  Clockwise rotation: Temperature increases.
  •  Counterclockwise rotation: Temperature decreases.
