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:
Procedure by which sent and received data is 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

low-pressure side is too high. High- and low-pressure sides
become equal soon after com-
pressor operation stops. Compressor pressure opera-
tion is improper.

between high- and low-pres-
sure sides. Compressor pressure opera-
tion is improper.

Both high- and low-pressure sides
are too low.

There is a big temperature
difference between liquid
tank outlet and inlet. Outlet
temperature is extremely
low.

sion valve are frosted. Liquid tank inside is slightly
clogged.

Replace liquid tank.

Check lubricant for contami-
nation.

Temperature of expansion
valve inlet is extremely low
as compared with areas
near liquid tank.

occurs somewhere in high-
pressure side. High-pressure pipe located
between liquid tank and
expansion valve is clogged.

Check and repair malfunc-
tioning parts.

tank are warm or slightly cool
when touched. Low refrigerant charge.
↓
Leaking fittings or compo-
nents. Check refrigerant for leaks.
Refer to ATC-158, "

There is a big temperature dif-
ference between expansion
valve inlet and outlet while the
valve itself is frosted. Expansion valve closes a little
compared with the specifica-
tion.
↓

2. Malfunctioning expansion valve.
3. Outlet and inlet may be clogged.

Remove foreign particles by
using compressed air.

Replace expansion valve.

pipe is colder than areas near
the evaporator outlet. Low-pressure pipe is clogged
or crushed.

Check and repair malfunc-
tioning parts.

Removal and InstallationAJS0015D
REMOVAL
1. Remove low-pressure pipe 2 and high-pressure pipe 3. Refer to ATC-152, "Removal and Installation of
Low-Pressure Pipe 2 and High-Pressure Pipe 3" .
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
2. Slide evaporator to passenger side, and then remove intake sensor.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings of A/C piping with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it when installing
it.

Mark the mounting position of intake sensor bracket prior to removal so that the reinstalled sen-
sor can be located in the same position.

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.
