COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Unified Meter and A/C Amp. (Automatic Amplifier)
The unified meter and A/C amp. has a built-in microcomputer which
processes information sent from various sensors needed for air con-
ditioner operation. The air mix door motor, mode door motor, upper
ventilator door motor, intake door motor, blower motor and compres-
sor are then controlled.
When the various switches and temperature control switch are oper-
ated, data is input to the unified meter and A/C amp. from the AV
control unit / NAVI control unit using CAN communication.
Self-diagnosis functions are also built into unified meter and A/C
amp. to provide quick check of malfunctions in the auto air condi-
tioner system.
Potentio Temperature Control (PTC)
The PTC is built into the multifunction switch. It can be set at an
interval of 0.5°C (1.0°F) in the 18°C (60°F) to 32°C (90°F) tempera-
ture range by pressing temperature control switch. The set tempera-
ture is displayed.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Mode door control system components are:

Unified meter and A/C amp.

Mode door motor (LCU)

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

In-vehicle sensor

Ambient sensor

Sunload sensor

Intake sensor
System Operation
The unified meter and A/C amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The unified meter and A/C amp.
sends air mix door, mode door, upper ventilator door and intake door opening angle data to the air mix door
motor LCUs, mode door motor LCUs, upper ventilator door motor LCU and intake door motor LCU.
The air mix door motors, mode door motors, upper ventilator 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 are compared by the LCUs in each door motor
with the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD, DEF/VENT, OPEN/SHUT and FRE/
REC operation is selected. The new selection data are returned to the unified meter and A/C amp.
