Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: A/C Compressor Control [Full Auto Air Conditioner]
Purpose
-
The A/C compressor control switches the A/C compressor on/off according to the vehicle environment.
Function
-
The A/C compressor control turns the A/C compressor on/off based on the climate control unit operation and signals from each sensor.
-
The A/C compressor control has automatic and manual controls.
-
The A/C compressor automatic control performs the following correction:
-
Defroster correction
A/C compressor automatic control
-
The climate control unit determines the A/C ON/OFF mode based on the ambient temperature.
-
The climate control unit determines the A/C signal on/off according to the air conditioner operation such as A/C ON mode (A/C switch ON) or AUTO mode (AUTO switch ON).
-
In A/C ON mode, the A/C signal (magnetic clutch) on/off is determined based on the ambient temperature and the temperature of the air passing through the evaporator.
-
In AUTO mode, the A/C signal (magnetic clutch) on/off is determined based on the ambient temperature calculation value and the temperature of the air passing through the evaporator.
-
The ambient temperature calculation value is calculated based on the ambient temperature, set temperature, cabin temperature, and sunlight intensity.
-
When the ambient temperature is low, the A/C signal (magnetic clutch) OFF temperature is set lower to prevent window fogging.

Operation
1. The climate control determines the A/C ON/OFF based on the operations of each switch/dial and signals from each sensor which changes according to the vehicle environment.
2. The climate control unit sends the A/C signal to the PCM according to the result of the A/C ON/OFF determination and corrections.
3. When the PCM turns the A/C relay on based on the A/C signal, the magnetic clutch of the A/C compressor turns on.
