A/C Signal: Description and Operation




OPERATION
- The air conditioning switch applies the battery voltage to the engine control module when the air conditioning is turned on.




- When the air conditioning ON signal is input, the engine control module drives the idle air control motor and turns ON the power transistor. As a result, the air conditioning power relay coil is energized to turn on the relay switch, which activates the air compressor magnetic clutch.
