- Correction for input value of each sensor
Ambient sensor (setting temperature correction)• A/C auto amp. controls passenger r oom temperature so that the optimum level always matches the temper-
ature level that the passenger may feel. Correction is appl ied to the target temperature that is set using tem-
perature control dial, according to ambient temperature detected by ambient sensor.
In-vehicle sensor [in-vehicle temperature correction]• Passenger room temperature detected by in-vehicle s ensor is corrected for each front air conditioning con-
trol (driver side and passenger side).
Intake sensor (intake temperature correction)• A/C auto amp. performs correction to change recogniti on intake temperature of A/C auto amp. quickly when
difference is large between recognition intake temperat ure and intake temperature detected by intake tem-
perature sensor. The correction is performed to change recognition intake temperature slowly when differ-
ence is small.
Sunload sensor (sunload amount correction)
• Sunload amount detected by sunload sensor is corrected for each air conditioning control.
• A/C auto amp. performs correction to change recogni tion sunload amount of A/C auto amp. slowly when
sunload amount changes quickly, for example when entering or exiting a tunnel.

Air Flow ControlINFOID:0000000009463095
DESCRIPTION
• A/C auto amp. changes duty ratio of blower motor dr ive signal and controls air flow continuously. When air
flow is increased, duty ratio of blower motor contro l signal gradually increases to prevent a sudden increase
in air flow.
• In addition to manual control and automatic control, air fl ow control consists of starting fan speed control, low
coolant temperature starting control, high in-vehicl e temperature starting control and fan speed control at
door motor operation
AUTOMATIC AIR FLOW CONTROL
• A/C auto amp. decides target air flow depending on target air mix door opening angle.
• A/C auto amp. changes duty ratio of blower motor c ontrol signal and controls the air flow continuously so
that air flow matches the target air flow.

2. The blower speed dial is turned completely counterclockwise to the OFF position.
3. The A/C switch is manually turned OFF.
In other words, the compressor ON request cannot be turned off in D/F or DEF modes.
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE PROTECTION
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the liquid tank on the condenser. The refr igerant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside
the refrigerant line and sends a voltage signal to the EC M. If the system pressure rises above or falls below
the following values, the ECM requests the IPDM E/ R to de-energize the A/C relay and disengage the com-
pressor.
• 3.12 MPa (31.82 kg/cm
2, 452.4 psi) or more (When the engine speed is less than 1,500 rpm)
• 2.74 MPa (27.95 kg/cm
2, 397.3 psi) or more (When the engine speed is 1,500 rpm or more)
• 0.14 MPa (1.43 kg/cm
2, 20.3 psi) or less
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 incr eases to an abnormal level [more than 2,990 kPa (30.5 kg/
cm
2, 433.6 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
COMPRESSOR OIL CIRCULATION CONTROL
When the engine starts while the engine coolant temperature is 56 °C (133 °F) or less, ECM activates the com-
pressor for approximately 6 seconds and circulates the compressor lubricant once.
OPERATING RATE CONTROL
When the set temperature is other than fully cold or the air outlet is “VENT”, “B/L” or “FOOT”, the front air con-
trol controls the compressor activation depending on ambient temperature.
Door ControlINFOID:0000000009463200
DOOR MOTOR CONTROL
• A Local Control Unit (LCU) is built into each door motor and detects the door position by using a Position
Balanced Resistor (PBR).
• Each door motor LCU has a unique address. The front air control communicates with the door motor LCUs by using each door’s unique communication address. The front air control sends requested door position
commands to each door motor LCU via a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) communication line. Each door
motor’s LCU receives the command and sends back a door position feedback signal.
• Each LCU controls each door to the appropriate posit ion depending on the control signal from the front air
control. When the door movement is complete, the LCU transmits a signal to the front air control indicating
that the door movement is complete.
