A/C COMPRESSOR CONTROL OPERATION
id074000103200
A/C Compressor Automatic Control
• The front climate control unit switches modes between the A/C mode and ECO mode based on the input signal from evaporator temperature sensor and ambient temperature sensor.
• In A/C mode, the A/C signal (magnetic clutch) is turned on/off according to the temperature of the air passing through the evaporator. The temperature of the air passing through the evaporator at which the A/C signal turns off is determined by the ambient temperature calculation value that is calculated based on the ambient temperature, target temperature. By setting the A/C signal off temperature low when strong cooling performance is needed, such as when the ambient temperature is high, and setting it high in other conditions, cooling comfort and fuel economy during A/C operation are improved.
Correction
Defroster correction
• When the defroster switch is turned on or the airflow mode is switched to HEAT/DEF mode, the system is fixed in A/C mode to improve defrosting.
MAX COLD correction
• When the set temperature is at 32.0 or 15.0, the A/C operation mode set as shown in the table.
