Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Condenser
Purpose
-
The condenser cools the high-temperature, highly pressurized refrigerant.
Function
-
The condenser cools the high-temperature, highly pressurized gaseous refrigerant compressed by the A/C compressor using the outside air, and changes it to liquid refrigerant.
Construction
-
The condenser is installed to the front of the radiator.
-
The condenser consists of the tube which passes refrigerant, and the heat radiation fin.
-
A sub-cooling condenser has been adopted.
-
The sub-cooling condenser is integrated with the multi-flow condenser and the receiver driver.
-
The sub-cooling condenser separates the refrigerant, cooled once by the condenser, into vapor and liquid using the receiver/drier, and by returning it to the sub-cooling part of the condenser again to cool.
-
As a result, liquefaction of the refrigerant is promoted and cooling performance is improved.
Operation
-
The high-temperature, highly pressurized gaseous refrigerant sent from the A/C compressor passes through the tube in the condenser.
-
When the air blown from the outside is exposed to the heat radiation fin, the heat of the refrigerant is captured by heat exchange, and the refrigerant changes from a gas to a liquid.
-
The liquid refrigerant is sent to the expansion valve via the receiver/drier.
Fail-safe
-
Function not equipped.

Condenser Inspection
1. Inspect the condenser for cracks, damage, and oil leakage.
If there is any malfunction, replace the condenser.
2. Visually inspect for bent fins for clogging of foreign material.

PCM
Purpose/Function
High-level driveability and lower fuel consumption have been realized by
controlling the appropriate engine conditions (fuel injection/ignition timing)
according to operation conditions.
Controls each output part based on the signal from each input part.

Fuel Draining Procedure
WARNING:
Fuel line spills and leakage from the pressurized fuel system are dangerous.
Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death and damage. To prevent this,
complete the following inspection with the engine stopped.
Fuel is very flammable liquid. If fuel spills or leaks ...
DSC Control
Outline
While a vehicle normally turns safely in response to steering operation,
there are instances when the limits of tire lateral grip is surpassed due to
road surface conditions or vehicle speed, and the influence of evasive steering
to avoid an accident or similar situations.
