SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Component Parts
Intake door control system components are:
- Front air control
- Intake door motor
- In-vehicle sensor
- Ambient sensor
- Optical sensor
- Intake sensor




System Operation
The intake door control determines the intake door position based on the position of the recirculation switch. When the recirculation switch is depressed the intake door motor rotates closing off the fresh air inlet and recirculating the cabin air. If the recirculation switch is depressed again, the intake door motor rotates in the opposite direction, again allowing fresh air into the cabin.

In the AUTO mode, the front air control determines the intake door position based on the ambient temperature, the intake air temperature and the in-vehicle temperature. When the DEF, D/F, FLOOR or OFF switches are pushed, the front air control sets the intake door at the fresh position.
