Start the engine and warm it up.

The air mix damper servo sends pulse signals to inform the air conditioner amplifier of the damper position. The air conditioner amplifier activates the motor (normal, reverse) based on the signals to move the air mix damper (passenger seat) to any position, which adjusts the amount of air passing the heater core after passing the evaporator to control the blowing temperature.

The solar sensor, which is installed on the upper side of the instrument panel, detects sunlight and controls the air conditioning in AUTO mode. The output voltage from the solar sensor varies according to the amount of sunlight. When the sunlight increases, the output voltage increases. As the sunlight decreases, the output voltage decreases. The A/C amplifier detects output voltage from the solar sensor.

The air conditioning harness connects the air conditioning amplifier and each servo. The air conditioning amplifier supplies power and sends operation instructions to each servo through the air conditioning harness. Each servo sends the damper position information to the air conditioning amplifier.

This DTC is output when refrigerant pressure is extremely low (0.19 MPa (2.0 kgf/cm², 28 psi) or less) or extremely high (3.14 MPa (32.0 kgf/cm², 455 psi) or more). The pressure sensor, which is installed on the pipe of the high pressure side to detect refrigerant pressure, outputs a refrigerant pressure signal to the A/C amplifier. The A/C amplifier converts this signal to pressure according to the sensor characteristics to control the compressor.

The smog ventilation sensor detects NOx in the emission gas and transmits signals to the A/C amplifier. Based on the signals, the A/C amplifier performs automatic air inlet control (FRESH, FRESH / RECIRCULATION, or RECIRCULATION mode).

This sensor sends 1 pulse per engine revolution to the ECM.

If the ratio between engine and compressor speed deviates 20% or more compared to normal operation, the ECM turns the cooler compressor off and the indicator blinks at approximately 1 second intervals.

The ECM informs the A/C amplifier of the operation condition of the cooler compressor through multiplex communication (CAN and BEAN).

In this circuit, the compressor receives a refrigerant compression demand signal from the air conditioning amplifier.

Based on this signal, the compressor changes the amount of compressor output.

The solar sensor, which is installed on the upper side of the instrument panel, detects sunlight and controls the air conditioning in AUTO mode. The output voltage from the solar sensor varies according to the amount of sunlight. When the sunlight increases, the output voltage increases. As the sunlight decreases, the output voltage decreases. The A/C amplifier detects voltage output from the solar sensor.
