Precautions for Refrigerant ConnectionNJS00006
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
Expansion valve to evaporator
Refrigerant pressure sensor to liquid tank
ABOUT ONE-TOUCH JOINT
Description
One-touch joints are pipe joints which do not require tools during piping connection.
Unlike conventional connection methods using union nuts and flanges, controlling tightening torque at
connection point is not necessary.
When removing a pipe joint, use a disconnector.

WARNING:
Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
When the compressor is removed, store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car. Fail-
ure to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture.
When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes at the final stage of the opera-
tion. Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for con-
nection.
Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
Always replace used O-rings.
When connecting tubes, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful
not to apply lubricant to threaded portion.
O-ring must be closely attached to the groove of tube.
When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
Connect tube until a click can be heard, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Make sure that the O-
ring is installed to tube correctly.
After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the refrigerant leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then
tighten connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEMPFP:KA990
Refrigerant CycleNJS0000E
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows from the compressor, through the condenser with liquid tank, through the evaporator, and
back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation in the evaporator is controlled by an externally equalized
expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.
FREEZE PROTECTION
To prevent evaporator frozen up, the evaporator air temperature is monitored, and the voltage signal to the
unified meter and A/C amp. will make the A/C relay go OFF and stop the compressor.
Refrigerant System ProtectionNJS0000F
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the refriger-
ant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the ECM.
ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high-pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (28 kg/cm
2 , 398 psi), or below about 134 kPa
(1.4 kg/cm
2 , 19 psi).
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3,600 kPa (36.7 kg/
cm
2 , 522 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant into
the atmosphere.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLPFP:27500
Description of Air Conditioner LAN Control SystemNJS0000J
The LAN (Local Area Network) system consists of unified meter and A/C amp., mode door motor, air mix door
motor and intake door motor.
A configuration of these components is shown in the figure below.
System ConstructionNJS0000K
A small network is constructed between unified meter and A/C amp., air mix door motor, mode door motor and
intake door motor. The unified meter and A/C amp. and motors are connected by data transmission lines and
motor power supply lines. The LAN network is built through the ground circuits of each door motor.
Addresses, motor opening angle signals, motor stop signals and error checking messages are all transmitted
through the data transmission lines connecting the unified meter and A/C amp. and each door motor.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into the air mix door motor, the mode door motor and the
intake door motor.
Address
Motor opening angle signal
Data transmission
Motor stop and drive decision
Opening angle sensor (PBR function)
Comparison

OPERATION
The unified meter and A/C amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The unified meter and A/C amp.
sends mode door, air mix door and intake door opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door
motor LCU and intake door motor LCU.
The mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the unified meter and A/C amp. and each of
the motor position sensors is compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening
angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD, DEF/VENT and FRE/REC operation is selected. The new selection data
are returned to the unified meter and A/C amp.
TRANSMISSION DATA AND TRANSMISSION ORDER
Unified meter and A/C amp. data is transmitted consecutively to each of the door motors following the form
shown in figure below.
Start:
Initial compulsory signal sent to each of the door motors.
Address:
Data sent from the unified meter and A/C amp. are selected according to data-based decisions made by the
air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor.
If the addresses are identical, the opening angle data and error check signals are received by the door motor
LCUs. The LCUs then make the appropriate error decision. If the opening angle data have no error, door con-
trol begins.
If an error exists, the received data are rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is based
upon the corrected opening angle data.
Opening Angle:
Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor.
Error Check:
In this procedure, transmitted and received data are checked for errors. Error data are then compiled. The
error check prevents corrupted data from being used by the air mix door motor, the mode door motor and the
intake door motor. Error data can be related to the following symptoms.
Malfunction of electrical frequency
Poor electrical connections
Signal leakage from transmission lines
Signal level fluctuation

MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
When A/C switch is pressed, turn fan control dial to ON or set mode control dial to D/F, D/F2 or DEF position,
unified meter and A/C amp. transmits compressor ON signal to BCM.
BCM sends compressor ON signal to ECM, via CAN communication.
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant-pressure sen-
sor signal, throttle angle, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON signal to
IPDM E/R, via CAN communication.
Upon receipt of compressor ON signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns air conditioner relay ON to operate com-
pressor.
When sending compressor ON signal to IPDM E/R via CAN communication line, ECM simultaneously sends
compressor feedback signal to unified meter and A/C amp. via CAN communication line.
Unified meter and A/C amp., then, uses input compressor feedback signal to control air inlet.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
The self-diagnosis system is built into the unified meter and A/C amp. to quickly locate the cause of malfunc-
tions.
