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.

Clutch Fluid Replacement/Air Bleeding [C66 M R]
CAUTION:
Do not allow clutch fluid to get on a painted surface. Clutch fluid contains
properties which can dissolve the paint. If clutch fluid gets on a painted surface,
wash it off with water immediately and wipe the area off completely.
Do not mix different types of clutch fl ...
Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS) enhances traction and safety by controlling
engine torque and braking.
When the TCS detects driving wheel slippage, it lowers engine torque and operates
the brakes to prevent loss of traction.
This means that on a slick surface, the engine adjusts automaticall ...
