REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
REFRIGERATION SYSTEMPFP:KA990
Refrigerant CycleNJS000FZ
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows from the compressor, through the condenser with liquid tank, through the evaporator, and
back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation in the evaporator is controlled by an externally equalized
expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.
FREEZE PROTECTION
To prevent evaporator frozen up, the evaporator air temperature is monitored, and the voltage signal to the
unified meter and A/C amp. will make the A/C relay go OFF and stop the compressor.
Refrigerant System ProtectionNJS000G0
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the refriger-
ant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the ECM.
ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high-pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 3,119 kPa (31.8 kg/cm
2 , 452 psi), or below about 118
kPa (1.2 kg/cm
2 , 17 psi).
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3,628 kPa (37 kg/cm
2
, 526 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant into the
atmosphere.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
When A/C switch, AUTO switch or DEF switch is pressed, unified meter and A/C amp. transmits compressor
ON signal to ECM, via CAN communication.
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant-pressure sen-
sor signal, throttle angle, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON signal to
IPDM E/R, via CAN communication.
Upon receipt of compressor ON signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns air conditioner relay ON to operate com-
pressor.
When sending compressor ON signal to IPDM E/R via CAN communication line, ECM simultaneously sends
compressor feedback signal to ECM via CAN communication line.
ECM sends compressor feedback signal to unified meter and A/C amp., then, uses input compressor feed-
back signal to control air inlet.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
The self-diagnosis system is built into the unified meter and A/C amp. to quickly locate the cause of malfunc-
tions.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. controls compressor operation by ambient temperature, intake air temperature
and signal from ECM.
Low Temperature Protection Control
Unified meter and A/C amp. will turn compressor ON or OFF as determined by a signal detected by ambient
sensor and intake sensor.
When ambient temperature is higher than −2°C (28°F), the compres-
sor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when ambient temperature
is lower than −5°C (23°F).
When intake air temperature is higher than 1°C (34°F), the compres-
sor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when intake air tempera-
ture is lower than −5°C (23°F).
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR MAGNET CLUTCH
SYMPTOM: Magnet clutch does not engage when A/C switch is ON.
