COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Front Air Control
The front air control has a built-in microcomputer which processes
information sent from various sensors needed for air conditioner
operation. The air mix door motors, mode door motor, intake door
motor, defroster door motor, blower motor and compressor are then
controlled.
The front air control is unitized with control mechanisms. When the
various switches and temperature dials are operated, data is input to
the front air control.
Self-diagnostic functions are also built into the front air control to pro-
vide quick check of malfunctions in the auto air conditioner system.

Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive. Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve′s pipe is frost-
ed or dewed. High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted. Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.
• If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the wa-
ter freezes causing a block-
age. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
• If due to foreign particles, re-
move expansion valve and
remove the particles with dry
and compressed air (not
shop air).
• If either of the above meth- ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion
valve.
• Replace liquid tank.
• Check oil for contamination.
