OPERATION

CONDENSER FAN AND RADIATOR FAN CONTROL
The PCM judges the required revolution speed of radiator fan motor and condenser fan motor using the input signals transmitted from A/C switch, output shaft speed sensor and engine coolant temperature sensor. The PCM activates the fan control relays to drive the radiator fan motor and condenser fan motor.

COMPRESSOR CONTROL

When operating the A/C switch
- The air thermo sensor, which senses the temperature of the air flowing out of the evaporator, deactivates the compressor at 3 °C (37.4 °F) or below.
- The dual pressure switch turns OFF when the refrigerant pressure becomes excessively high or low, thus protecting the compressor circuit (See Table below).
- When the air thermo sensor is activated, and the ignition switch, blower switch, and A/C switch are ON, the A/C compressor clutch relay is energized.

When operating the mode selection dial
- The A/C will work when the mode selection dial is set to the "Defroster" or "Defroster/foot" position, or the temperature control dial is set to the "MAX A/C" position. In other dial positions, when the A/C switch is turned on, the A/C will work.
