SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Fan speed control system components are:

Unified meter and A/C amp.

A/C LAN system (PBR built-in mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor)

In-vehicle sensor

Ambient sensor

Sunload sensor

Intake sensor
System Operation
Automatic Mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the unified meter and A/C amp. based on the
input from the PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor.
When the air flow is increased, the duty ratio of the blower fan motor’s drive signal is changed at 8%/sec. to
prevent a sudden increase in air flow.
In addition to manual air flow control and the usual automatic air flow control, starting air flow control, low
water temperature starting control and high passenger compartment temperature starting control are avail-
able.

Ambient Sensor CircuitAJS00154
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor is attached on the hood lock stay. It detects
ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance value which is
then input into the unified meter and A/C amp.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The unified meter and A/C amp. includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the
temperature detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the unified meter
and A/C amp. function. It only allows the unified meter and A/C amp. to recognize an ambient temperature
increase of 0.33 °C (0.6 °F) per 100 seconds.
As an example, consider stopping for a few minutes after high speed driving. Although the actual ambient tem-
perature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor will increase. This is because the
heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area, location of the ambient sensor.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR AMBIENT SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Ambient sensor circuit is open or shorted. (21 or −21 is
indicated on unified meter and A/C amp. as a result of performing
self-diagnosis STEP-2.)
1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN AMBIENT SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect ambient sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between ambient sensor harness connector E34 terminal 1 (Y) and ground.

In-vehicle Sensor CircuitAJS00155
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
In-vehicle Sensor
The in-vehicle sensor is located on instrument driver lower panel. It
converts variations in temperature of compartment air drawn from
the aspirator into a resistance value. It is then input into the unified
meter and A/C amp.
Aspirator
The aspirator is located on driver’s side of heater & cooling unit. It
produces vacuum pressure due to air discharged from the heater &
cooling unit, continuously taking compartment air in the aspirator.

IN-CABIN MICROFILTERPFP:27277
Removal and InstallationAJS001FC
FUNCTION
Air inside passenger compartment is kept clean at either recircula-
tion or fresh mode by installing in-cabin microfilter into blower unit.
REPLACEMENT TIMING
Replace in-cabin microfilter.
Refer to MA-9, "
CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE" in Schedule 1 and MA-11, "CHASSIS AND BODY
MAINTENANCE" in Schedule 2.
Caution label is fixed inside glove box.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES
1. Remove instrument passenger lower panel. Refer to IP-11, "Removal and Installation" .
2. Remove filter cover, and then remove in-cabin microfilter.
3. Take out in-cabin microfilter from blower unit.
4. Replace with new one and reinstall on blower unit.
5. Reinstall instrument passenger lower panel.

INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings of high-pressure flexible hose with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it
when installing it.

Connection point for female-side piping is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not
to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert in axial direction.

Insert one-touch joint connection point securely until it clicks.

After piping has been connected, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure piping does not
come off.

When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Removal and Installation of Low-Pressure Pipe 1 (Engine Compartment)AJS0015V
REMOVAL
1. Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge the refrigerant.
2. Remove cowl top cover. Refer to EI-23, "
COWL TOP" .
3. Remove mounting bolt from low-pressure pipe 1 bracket and low-pressure flexible hose bracket.
4. Disconnect one-touch joints.
a. Set a disconnector (SST: 9253089916) on A/C piping.
b. Slide a disconnector toward vehicle front until it clicks.
c. Slide A/C piping toward vehicle front and disconnect it.
