AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
TRANSMISSION DATA AND TRANSMISSION ORDER
Amplifier data is transmitted consecutively to each of the door motors following the form shown in figure below.
Start: Initial compulsory signal sent to each of the door motors.
Address: Data sent from the auto amplifier is selected according to data-based decisions made by the air mix
door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor.
If the addresses are identical, the opening angle data and error check signals are received by the door motor
LCUs. The LCUs then make the appropriate error decision. If the opening angle data is normal, door control
begins.
If an error exists, the received data is rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is based upon
the corrected opening angle data.
Opening angle:
Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor.
Error check:
Procedure by which sent and received data is checked for errors. Error data is then compiled. The error check
prevents corrupted data from being used by the air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor.
Error data can be related to the following problems.
●Malfunction electrical frequency
●Poor electrical connections
●Signal leakage from transmission lines
●Signal level fluctuation
St op s ign al :
At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal problem message is delivered to
the auto amplifier. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.
AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL (AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
The air mix door is automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.

1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point to
be checked.
2. When testing, circle each fitting completely with probe.
3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1 to
2 in)/sec.
CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette
smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind movement) so that the
leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn engine OFF.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi) above 16°C (61°F). If less
than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant.
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa (3.54
kg/cm
2 , 50 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet g) to the low side
(evaporator drain hose h to shaft seal k). Refer to ATC-131, "
Components" \. Perform a leak check for the
following areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked and move the leak detected probe com-
pletely around the connection/component.
Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.
Liquid tank
Check the refrigerant pressure sensor or dual pressure switch.
Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to pre-
vent leaks).

NATS AUDIO LINK
Description
The link with the NATS IMMU implies that the audio unit can basically only be operated if connected to the
matching NATS IMMU to which the audio unit was initially fitted on the production line.
Since radio operation is impossible after the link with the NATS is disrupted theft of the audio unit is basically
useless since special equipment is required to reset the audio unit.
Initialization process for audio units that are linked to the NAT S I M M U
New audio units will be delivered to the factories in the “NEW” state, i.e. ready to be linked with the vehicle's
NATS. When the audio unit in “NEW” state is first switched on at the factory, it will start up communication with
the vehicle's immobilizer control unit (IMMU) and send a code (the “audio unit Code”) to the IMMU. The IMMU
will then store this code, which is unique to each audio unit, in its (permanent) memory.
Upon receipt of the code by the IMMU, the NATS will confirm correct receipt of the audio unit code to the audio
unit. Hereafter, the audio unit will operate as normal.
During the initialization process, “NEW” is displayed on the audio unit display. Normally though, communica-
tion between audio unit and IMMU takes such a short time (300 ms) that the audio unit seems to switch on
directly without showing “NEW” on its display.
Normal operation
Each time the audio unit is switched on afterwards, the audio unit code will be verified between the audio unit
and the NATS before the audio unit becomes operational. During the code verification process, “WAIT” is
shown on the audio unit display. Again, the communication takes such a short time (300 ms) that the audio
unit seems to switch on directly without showing “WAIT” on its display.
When the radio is locked
In case of a audio unit being linked with the vehicle's NATS (immobilizer system), disconnection of the link
between the audio unit and the IMMU will cause the audio unit to switch into the lock (“SECURE”) mode in
which the audio unit is fully inoperative. Hence, repair of the audio unit is basically impossible, unless the
audio unit is reset to the “NEW” state for which special decoding equipment is required.
Clarion has provided their authorized service representatives with so called “decoder boxes” which can bring
the audio unit back to the “NEW” state, enabling the audio unit to be switched on after which repair can be car-
ried out. Subsequently, when the repaired audio unit is delivered to the final user again, it will be in the “NEW”
state to enable re-linking the audio unit to the vehicle's immobilizer system. As a result of the above, repair of
the audio unit can only be done by an authorized Clarion representative (when the owner of the vehicle
requests repair and can show personal identification).

Service Procedure
SPEED DEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROL
Description
If activated, the radio output volume will be automatically adjusted to compensate for increased driving noises
at higher driving speeds.
The radio receives a speed signal from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) and selects the output volume.
PERSONAL AUDIO SETTINGS
Description
The radio is designed to store several settings (volume, bass, treble, preset stations and level of speed depen-
dent volume control) with every NATS ignition key used. Up to a maximum of 4 NATS keys can be registered.
During the communication mentioned under “Anti-Theft System”, the radio will recognize the used ignition key
and select the accompanying settings.

to NEW state, using special decoding
equipment.—

system.
2. After NATS is repaired, reset radio to
NEW state by authorized representative
of Clarion.After switching on the radio, the radio will
display “SECURE” after 1 minute. Further
use of radio is impossible until communica-
tion is established again, or after radio is
reset by authorized representative of Clar-
ion.

OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the
vehicle, etc.
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel. Item Reference page
