COMPONENT PARTS
Refrigerant pressure sensorRefer to
EC-36, "Refrigerant Pressure Sensor" for QR25DE and EC-562, "Refrigerant Pressure Sen-
sor" for VQ35DE.
Sunload sensor Sunload sensor measures sunload amount. This sensor is a dual system so that sunload for driver
side and passenger side are measured separately. This sensor converts sunload amount to voltage
signal by photodiode and transmits to A/C auto amp.

- Correction for input value of each sensor
Ambient sensor (setting temperature correction)• A/C auto amp. controls passenger r oom temperature so that the optimum level always matches the temper-
ature level that the passenger may feel. Correction is appl ied to the target temperature that is set using tem-
perature control dial, according to ambient temperature detected by ambient sensor.
In-vehicle sensor [in-vehicle temperature correction]• Passenger room temperature detected by in-vehicle s ensor is corrected for each front air conditioning con-
trol (driver side and passenger side).
Intake sensor (intake temperature correction)• A/C auto amp. performs correction to change recogniti on intake temperature of A/C auto amp. quickly when
difference is large between recognition intake temperat ure and intake temperature detected by intake tem-
perature sensor. The correction is performed to change recognition intake temperature slowly when differ-
ence is small.
Sunload sensor (sunload amount correction)
• Sunload amount detected by sunload sensor is corrected for each air conditioning control.
• A/C auto amp. performs correction to change recogni tion sunload amount of A/C auto amp. slowly when
sunload amount changes quickly, for example when entering or exiting a tunnel.

Air Flow ControlINFOID:0000000009463095
DESCRIPTION
• A/C auto amp. changes duty ratio of blower motor dr ive signal and controls air flow continuously. When air
flow is increased, duty ratio of blower motor contro l signal gradually increases to prevent a sudden increase
in air flow.
• In addition to manual control and automatic control, air fl ow control consists of starting fan speed control, low
coolant temperature starting control, high in-vehicl e temperature starting control and fan speed control at
door motor operation
AUTOMATIC AIR FLOW CONTROL
• A/C auto amp. decides target air flow depending on target air mix door opening angle.
• A/C auto amp. changes duty ratio of blower motor c ontrol signal and controls the air flow continuously so
that air flow matches the target air flow.

• When air outlet is VENT or B/L, the minimum air flow is changed depending on sunload.
STARTING AIR FLOW CONTROL
• When blower motor is activated, A/C auto amp. graduallyincreases duty ratio of blower motor control signal to prevent a
sudden increase in discharge air flow.
• It takes approximately 8 seconds for air flow to reach HI from LOW.
LOW COOLANT TEMPERATURE STARTING CONTROL
If the engine coolant temperature is 56 °C (133 °F) or less, to prevent
a cold discharged air flow, A/C auto amp. suspends blower motor
activation for a maximum of 150 seconds depending on target air
mix door opening angle. After this, blower motor control signal is
increased gradually, and blower motor is activated.
HIGH IN-VEHICLE TEMPERATURE STARTING CONTROL
When front evaporator fin temperature is high [intake sensor value is 35°C (95 °F) or more], to prevent a hot
discharged air flow, A/C auto amp. suspends blower moto r activation for approximately 3 seconds so that front
evaporator is cooled by refrigerant.
FAN SPEED CONTROL AT DOOR MOTOR OPERATION
When mode door motor is activated while air flow is more than the specified value, A/C auto amp. reduces fan
speed temporarily so that mode door moves smoothly.
Air Inlet ControlINFOID:0000000009463096
The intake door is automatically controlled by the temperature set-
ting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature, intake tempera-
ture, amount of sunload and ON/OFF operation of the compressor.
Intake door automatic control selects FRE, 20% FRE, or REC
depending on a target air mix door opening angle, based on in-vehi-
cle temperature, ambient temperature, and sunload.

Air Outlet Control
INFOID:0000000009463097
• While air outlet is in automatic control, A/C auto amp. selects the mode door position depending on a target air mix door angle and
outlet air temperature calculated from sunload.
• If ambient temperature is excessively low, D/F is selected to pre- vent windshield fogging when air outlet is set to FOOT.
Compressor ControlINFOID:0000000009463098
DESCRIPTION
• When the compressor activation condition is satisfied whil e blower motor is activated, A/C auto amp. trans-
mits A/C ON signal and blower fan ON signal to ECM via CAN communication.
• ECM judges that the compressor can be activated depending on the state of each sensor (refrigerant pres-
sure sensor signal and others) and transmits A/C comp ressor request signal to IPDM E/R via CAN commu-
nication.
• IPDM E/R turns A/C relay ON and activate s the compressor depending on request from ECM.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION CONTROL AT PRESSURE MALFUNCTION
When high-pressure side value that is detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is as per the following state,
ECM requests IPDM E/R to turn A/C relay OFF and stops the compressor.
• 3.12 MPa (31.82 kg/cm
2, 452.4 psi) or more (When the engine speed is less than 1,500 rpm)
• 2.74 MPa (27.95 kg/cm
2, 397.3 psi) or more (When the engine speed is 1,500 rpm or more)
• 0.14 MPa (1.43 kg/cm
2, 20.3 psi) or less
COMPRESSOR OIL CIRCULATION CONTROL
When the engine starts while the engine coolant temperature is 56 °C (133 °F) or less, ECM activates the com-
pressor for approximately 6 seconds and circulates the compressor lubricant once.
LOW TEMPERATURE PROTECTION CONTROL
• When intake sensor detects that front evaporator fin temperature is 2.5 °C (37 °F) or less, A/C auto amp. requests ECM to turn com-
pressor OFF, and stops the compressor.
• When the front evaporator fin temperature returns to 5.0 °C (41 °F)
or more, the compressor is activated.
OPERATING RATE CONTROL
When set temperature is other than fully cold or air out let is “VENT”, “B/L” or “FOOT” A/C auto amp. controls
the compressor activation depending on ambient temperature.
AIR CONDITIONING CUT CONTROL
When set engine is running is excessively high load conditi on, ECM requests IPDM E/R to turn A/C relay OFF,
and stops the compressor. Refer to EC-56, "AIR CONDITIONING CUT CONT ROL : System Description (with
automatic air conditioner)" (QR25DE) or EC-573, "AIR CONDITIONING CUT CONTROL : System Descrip-
tion" (VQ35DE) for details.

Door ControlINFOID:0000000009463099
DOOR MOTOR CONTROL
• LCU (Local Control Unit) is built into each door moto r, and detects door position by PBR (Potentio Balance
Resistor).
• A/C auto amp. communicates with each LCU via communication line and receives each door position feed- back signal from each LCU.
• Each LCU controls each door to the appropriate posit ion depending on the control signal from A/C auto amp.
• Each LCU transmits the signal of door movement completion to A/C auto amp., when the door movement is completed.

Temperature Control
INFOID:0000000009463100
• When ignition switch is in the ON position, A/C auto amp. always automatically controls temperatur e regardless of front air condi-
tioning operational state.
• A/C auto amp. calculates the target air mix door opening angle depending on set temperature, in-vehicle temperature, ambient
temperature, and sunload.
• Air mix door is controlled depending on the comparison of current
air mix door opening angle and target air mix door opening angle.
• Regardless of in-vehicle temperature, ambient temperature, and
sunload, air mix door is fixed at the fully cold position when set
temperature is 18.0 °C (60 °F), and at the fully hot position when set
temperature is 32.0 °C (90 °F).
