MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL SYSTEM [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER]

id0740a2101000


Block Diagram

•  The climate control unit performs the defroster control based on the signal sent from the airflow mode selector dial, and sends an operating signal to the air intake actuator.
•  The climate control unit sends an A/C signal to the PCM via the BCM and instrument cluster based on signals sent from the A/C switch, airflow volume control dial and evaporator temperature sensor.

Defroster Control

1.  When the airflow mode selector dial is turned to DEFROSTER, a signal is sent to the CPU.

2.  A signal is sent from the CPU to the air intake actuator, the air intake mode to FRESH.

A/C Compressor Control

•  The climate control unit sends an A/C signal to the PCM via the BCM and instrument cluster based on signals sent from the A/C switch, airflow volume control dial and evaporator temperature sensor.

A/C signal on/off control

•  The climate control unit turns the A/C signal (magnetic clutch) on and off based on the temperature of the air passing through the evaporator when the A/C switch and airflow volume control dial are on. This keeps the evaporator surface temperature within the specified range, preventing the evaporator from freezing while the airflow volume control dial and A/C switch are turned on.
