Variable Displacement CompressorNJS000G1
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The variable compressor provides refrigerant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it may
not produce high refrigerant pressure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air condi-
tioning systems.
2. For air conditioning systems with the compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the system main
switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. When ambient (outside) temperatures are low or when
the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, the clutch is disengaged to protect the compressor.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
REAR TEMPERATURE CONTROL SWITCH

Increases or decreases the set temperature.

A temperature for the rear seat with respect to a set temperature for the front seat can be adjusted by
operating switch.

Rear temperature control switch allows to select a temperature every 0.5°C (1°F) in the 18°C (60°F) to
32°C (90°F) range.

When the DUAL switch is ON, temperature for the rear seat changes keeping the temperature difference
between two front seats. [e.g. When lowering the set temperature for the rear seat 1°C (2°F) by operating
rear control switch at a set temperature of 25°C (77°F) for the driver’s seat and 26°C (79°F) for the pas-
senger’s seat, the set temperature for the driver’s seat and passenger’s seat lower 1°C (2°F) and become
24°C (75°F) for the driver’s seat and 25°C (77°F) for the passenger’s seat.]
NOTE:
A set temperature for the rear seat is tied to a set temperature for the passenger’s seat. Therefore, a set
temperature for the rear seat changes in conjunction with a set temperature for the passenger’s seat
(When the set temperature of front seats are independent).
Fail-Safe FunctionNJS000G9

If a communication error exists between the unified meter and A/C amp.,and the AV control unit or NAVI
control unit and multifunction switch for 30 seconds or longer, air conditioner is controlled under the follow-
ing conditions:
Compressor : ON
Air outlet : AUTO
Air inlet : FRE (Fresh)
Blower fan speed : AUTO
Set temperature : Setting before communication error occurs
Display : OFF

CAN Communication System DescriptionNJS000GC
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to LAN-50,
"CAN System Specification Chart" .

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
11 . CHECK INTAKE SENSOR
Press (DEF) switch for the third time. Temperature detected by
intake sensor is indicated on the display.
NOTE:
If the temperature indicated on the display greatly differs from the
actual temperature, check sensor circuit first, and then check sensor.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 12.
NG >> Go to Intake Sensor Circuit. Refer to ATC-121, "
Intake
Sensor Circuit" .
12. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION ERROR
1. Press intake switch.
2. CAN communication error between each unit that uses the uni-
fied meter and A/C amp. can be detected as self-diagnosis
results. (If plural errors occur, the display of each error will blink
twice for 0 - 5 second intervals.)
OK or NG
OK >> 1. Turn ignition switch OFF or AUTO switch ON.
2. INSPECTION END
NG >> Go to CAN communication. Refer to DI-35, "

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
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.
