AIR CONDITIONING
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 82-15
Dual pressure switch
The dual pressure switch protects the refrigerant system from extremes of pressure. The normally closed switch is
installed in the top of the receiver drier. If minimum or maximum pressure limits are exceeded the switch contacts
open, causing the compressor clutch to be disengaged. The minimum pressure limit protects the compressor, by
preventing operation of the system unless there is a minimum refrigerant pressure (and thus refrigerant and
lubricating oil) in the system. The maximum pressure limit keeps the refrigerant system within a safe operating
pressure.
Dual pressure switch nominal operating pressures
Evaporator temperature sensor
The evaporator temperature sensor is an encapsulated thermistor that provides the ATC ECU with an input of the
evaporator air outlet temperature. The evaporator temperature sensor is installed in a clip which locates in the
evaporator matrix in the heater assembly. The ATC ECU uses the input to prevent the formation of ice on the
evaporator.
In-car temperature sensor
The in-car temperature sensor is an encapsulated thermistor that provides the ATC ECU with an input of cabin air
temperature. The sensor is integrated into the inlet of an electric fan, which is installed behind a grille in the fascia
outboard of the steering column. The fan runs continuously, while the ignition is on, to draw air through the grille and
across the sensor.
Sunlight sensor
The sunlight sensor consists of two diodes that provide the ATC ECU with inputs of light intensity, one as sensed
coming from the left of the vehicle and one as sensed coming from the right. The inputs are used as a measure of the
solar heating effect on vehicle occupants. The sensor is installed in the centre of the fascia upper surface.
Heater coolant temperature sensor
The heater coolant temperature sensor is an encapsulated thermistor that provides the ATC ECU with an input related
to heater matrix coolant temperature. The sensor is installed in the casing of the heater assembly and presses against
the end tank of the heater matrix.
Ambient temperature sensor
The ambient temperature sensor is an encapsulated thermistor that provides the ATC ECU with an input of external
air temperature. The sensor is attached to the cooling fan mounting bracket in front of the condenser.

AIR CONDITIONING
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 82-17
Timed recirculated air
The timed recirculated air mode sets the inlet air source to recirculated air for 5 ± 1 minutes, after which it automatically
reverts to fresh air. Timed recirculated air can be manually selected:
lIn the automatic mode, by pressing the fresh/recirculated air switch for 1.5 seconds or more; the audible warning
sounds twice.
lIn the economy or defrost modes, by pressing the fresh/recirculated air switch for less than 1.5 seconds; the
audible warning sounds once.
Latched recirculated air
The inlet air source can be latched to recirculated air:
lIn the automatic mode, by pressing the fresh/recirculated air switch for less than 1.5 seconds; the audible
warning sounds once.
lIn the economy or defrost modes, by pressing the fresh/recirculated air switch for 1.5 seconds or more; the
audible warning sounds twice.
Blower control
The ATC ECU operates a blower relay, power transistor and power relay to run the blower at one of 31 stepped
speeds. All speed steps are available in the automatic modes of blower control. In the manual mode, speed steps 3,
10, 16, 22 and 31 are used to provide slow, three intermediate and fast blower speeds. The ATC ECU energises the
blower relay and modulates the power transistor to operate the blower for speed steps 1 to 30. For speed step 31, the
ATC ECU energises the power relay, which switches the earth side of the blower motor direct to earth, bypassing the
power transistor.
In the automatic, economy and defrost modes, blower speed is corrected for vehicle speed to compensate for the
increase in ram effect on the inlet air as the vehicle speed increases. Correction begins at approximately 50 km/h,
when blower speed is progressively decreased as vehicle speed increases, until a maximum decrease of 13 steps
occurs at 123 km/h. Similarly, blower speed increases as vehicle speed decreases down to approximately 50 km/h.
In the automatic and economy modes, if the LH or RH temperature is set to LO or HI, the blower runs at maximum
speed with correction only for vehicle speed. If both the LH and RH outlet air temperatures are set to a specific
temperature, blower speed corrections are added to compensate for the heater coolant temperature, external air
temperature, and the solar load acting on the vehicle:
lDuring warm-up, the blower speed is set to 3 while the heater coolant temperature is below approximately 20 °C
(68 °F). From approximately 20 °C (68 °F), the blower speed is progressively increased as the coolant
temperature increases, until maximum speed is set at approximately 50 °C (122 °F).
lDuring cool down, blower speed is set to 3, for 5 seconds after the system is switched on. Over the following 6
seconds, the blower speed is progressively increased up to maximum speed.
lAs the temperature in the cabin approaches the selected temperatures, blower speed is progressively reduced
until, once the selected temperatures have been established, blower speed stabilises at approximately 6.
lSolar heating correction is employed when air distribution is set to face level or to face and footwells. The
correction progressively increases the blower speed, up to a maximum of 9 steps, with increasing values of solar
heating.

AIR CONDITIONING
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 82-19
Diagnostics
The ATC ECU performs a diagnostic check each time the ignition is switched on. To avoid nuisance fault indications
at low light levels, the sunlight sensor is omitted from the diagnostic check. If a fault is detected, the audible warning
sounds three times and the AUTO window on the control panel display flashes for 20 seconds. The ATC ECU then
reverts to normal control but uses a default value or strategy for the detected fault. Faults are identified by performing
a manual diagnostic check of the system.
A manual diagnostic check includes a check of the sunlight sensor, and is initiated by pressing and holding the AUTO
switch and the air distribution switch, then turning the ignition switch from off to on. The audible warning sounds once
and the indications on the control panel display illuminate. FC is shown in the LH temperature window and the results
of the check are shown as a two digit fault code in the RH temperature window. If a fault is detected, the audible
warning sounds three times and the AUTO window on the display flashes on and off for 20 seconds. If more than one
fault is detected, the fault codes cycle in numerical order, at 1 Hz. The audible warning sounds as each fault code is
shown. In low light conditions, to avoid false sunlight sensor fault indications, the sunlight sensor should be illuminated
with a strong light source.
