A/C Compressor Control
-
The climate control unit sends the A/C signal to the PCM based on the signals sent from the A/C switch, airflow volume control dial, and evaporator temperature sensor.
-
The PCM turns the A/C relay on/off based on the input signals from the A/C signal and A/C pressure sensor and controls the A/C compressor (magnetic clutch) operation.
A/C signal on/off control
-
When the A/C switch and fan switch are turned on, the climate control unit turns the A/C signal (magnetic clutch) on/off based on the temperature of the air passing through the evaporator.
-
When the fan switch and A/C switch are turned on, the climate control unit controls the surface temperature of the evaporator so that it is within a certain range to prevent the evaporator from freezing.
-
When the ambient temperature is low, the climate control unit sets the A/C signal (magnetic clutch) off-temperature to low to prevent window fogging.
Defroster control
-
The defroster control improves the defrosting effect.
-
When the defroster switch turns on, the climate control unit fixes the air intake mode to FRESH.
-
The air intake is fixed at FRESH even if it has been set to REC manually.
Magnetic Clutch Inspection [Manual Air Conditioner]
1. Connect battery to terminal A of magnetic clutch and ground to A/C compressor
body.
2. Verify that the magnetic clutch operates.
If there is any malfunction, replace the magnetic cl ...
Passenger Compartment Temperature Sensor Inspection [Full Auto Air Conditioner]
1. Measure the temperature around the passenger compartment temperature sensor
and measure the resistance between passenger compartment temperature sensor terminals
A and B.
If the charact ...

Knock Sensor (Ks)
Purpose/Function
Detects abnormal combustion in the cylinder as basic information for mainly
determining the ignition timing.
Detects abnormal combustion in the combustion chamber and inputs it to the
PCM as a knocking signal.
Construction
Installed on the cylinder ...
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Inspection [Manual Air Conditioner]
1. Install the manifold gauge.
2. Verify the high-pressure side reading of the manifold gauge.
3. Measure the terminal voltage at PCM terminals 2BB, 2AX and 2AJ
4. Using the graph below, measure and verify the terminal voltage at 2AX.
5. Follow the PCM inspection when measuring the other ter ...
Pressure Sensor [Two Step Deployment Control System]
Purpose
The pressure sensor determines at an earlier stage whether to detonate the
air bag on the side of the vehicle (around front door) receiving an impact.
This is for improved accuracy of the side air bag operation (deployment).
Function
When the vehicle is involved in ...
