ACCS (ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM)
Component Description
Ambient sensor Ambient sensor measures ambient air temperature. The sensor uses a
thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical
resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
AV c o n t r o l u n i t AV control unit transmits front A/C control operation signal to A/C auto amp.
via CAN communication line.
A/C auto amp. A/C auto amp. controls rear automatic air conditioning system by inputting
and calculating signals from each sensor and each switch. A/C auto amp.
has self-diagnosis function. Diagnosis of rear automatic air conditioning
system can be performed quickly.
Combination meter Combination meter transmits vehicle speed signal to A/C auto amp. via
CAN communication line.
ECM ECM transmits engine coolant temperature signal to A/C auto amp. via
CAN communication line.
Engine coolant temperature sensor Engine coolant temperature sensor measures engine coolant temperature.
The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in tempera-
ture. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature
increases.
Front display Front display indicates operation status of rear automatic air conditioning
system.
Heater & cooling unit
assembly Intake sensor Intake sensor measures temperature of front evaporator fin temperature.
The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in tempera-
ture. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature
increases.
Preset switch Preset switch is integrated with front A/C control and AV operation switch.
Front A/C control operation signal is transmitted from preset switch to AV
control unit via communication line.
Rear A/C control The operation of the rear A/C control is communicated with the A/C auto
amp. via communication line.
Rear A/C relay Power is supplied to the rear A/C solenoid valve through rear A/C relay with
A/C auto amp. control.
Rear A/C unit assem-
bly Rear air mix door motor
The LCU (Local Contro
l Unit) is installed to rear air mix door motor so as to
perform the multiplex communication control (LIN).
Refer to HAC-26, "
REAR AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM :
Door Control".
Rear A/C solenoid valve Rear A/C solenoid valve operates by power supply from rear A/C relay and
opens refrigerant line to rear evaporator.
Rear blower motor Refer to HAC-13
.
Rear in-vehicle sensor Rear in-vehicle sensor measures temperature of intake air that flows
through rear blower motor to passenger room. The sensor uses a ther-
mistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resis-
tance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
Rear mode door motor The LCU (Local Control Unit) is installed to rear mode door motor so as to
perform the multiplex communication control (LIN).
Refer to
HAC-26, "
REAR AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM :
Door Control".
Sunload sensor Sunload sensor measures sunload amount. This sensor is a dual system
so that sunload for driver side and passenger side are measured separate-
ly. This sensor converts sunload amount to voltage signal by photodiode
and transmits to A/C auto amp..

COMPONENT PARTS
Aspirator
INFOID:0000000006275856
The aspirator generates the vacuum by the air blown from the heater
& cooling unit and draws the air of the passenger room to the front
in-vehicle sensor area via the aspirator duct.
Front Blower MotorINFOID:0000000006275857
The front blower motor utilizes a brush-less motor with a rotating
magnet. Quietness is improved comparing to a conventional motor
(brush motor) that rotates coil while brush functions as contact
points.
Front display Front display indicates operation status of ACCS (advanced climate control
system).
Heater & cooling unit as-
sembly Ionizer Ionizer generates an approximately equal proportional amount of positive
and negative ions in the air.
Preset switch Preset switch is integrated with front A/C control and AV operation switch.
Front A/C control operation signal is transmitted from preset switch to AV
control unit via communication line.

DOOR MOTOR CONTROL
 LCU (Local Control Unit) is built in to each door moto r. And detects door position by PBR (Potentio Balance
Resistor).
 A/C auto amp. communicates with each LCU via comm unication line. And receives each door position feed
back signal from each LCU.
 Each LCU controls each door to the appropriate pos ition depending on the control signal from A/C auto amp.
when the door movement is complete, transmits the signal of door movement completion to A/C auto amp.

FRONT AIR CONDITIONER
: Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000006275991
NOTE:
Perform self-diagnoses with on board diagnosis and CO NSULT-III before performing symptom diagnosis. If
DTC is detected, perform the corresponding diagnosis.
1.CHECK COOLING SYSTEM
1. Check engine coolant level and check leakage. Refer to CO-8, "
Inspection".
2. Check reservoir tank cap. Refer to CO-11, "
RESERVOIR TANK CAP : Inspection".
3. Check water flow sounds of the engine coolant. Refer to CO-9, "
Refilling".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Refill engine coolant and repair or repl ace parts depending on the inspection results.
2.CHECK HEATER HOSE
Check installation of heater hose by visually or touching.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Repair or replace parts depending on the inspection results.
3.CHECK FRONT HEATER CORE
1. Check temperature of inlet hose and outlet hose of front heater core.
2. Check that inlet side of front heater core is hot and t he outlet side is slightly lower than/almost equal to the
inlet side.
CAUTION:
Always perform the temperature in spection in a short period of time because the engine coolant
temperature is very hot.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Replace front heater core. Refer to HA-44, "
HEATER CORE : Removal and Installation".
4.CHECK AIR LEAKAGE FROM EACH DUCT
Check duct and nozzle, etc. of front air conditioning system for air leakage.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Repair or replace parts depending on the inspection results.
5.CHECK SETTING OF TEMPERATURE SETTING TRIMMER (FRONT)
1. Check setting value of temperature setting trimmer (front). Refer to HAC-68, "
FRONT AUTOMATIC AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEM : Temperature Setting Trimmer (Front)".
2. Check that temperature setting trimmer (front) is set to “ − direction”.
NOTE:
The control temperature can be set by t he temperature setting trimmer (front).
3. Set difference between the set temperature and control temperature to “0”.
Are the symptoms solved?
YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Replace A/C auto amp.. Refer to HAC-146, "
Removal and Installation".
