Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorEJS000TH
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:

Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor

Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)

LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPONENTS REPLACEMENT EXCEPT COM-
PRESSOR
After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct amount of lubricant to the system.
Amount of lubricant to be added
*1: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of lubricant is needed.
LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT
1. Before connecting ACR4 to vehicle, check ACR4 gauges. No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If
NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
2. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure lubricant discharged into
the recovery/recycling equipment.
3. Drain the lubricant from the old (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the amount
of lubricant drained.
4. Drain the lubricant from the new compressor into a separate, clean container.
5. Measure an amount of new lubricant installed equal to amount drained from old compressor. Add this
lubricant to new compressor through the suction port opening.
6. Measure an amount of new lubricant equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this lubricant
to new compressor through the suction port opening.
7. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add another 5 m (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant at this time.
Do not add this 5 m (0.2 Imp fl oz) of lubricant only when replaces the compressor.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLPFP:27500
Description of Air Conditioner LAN Control SystemEJS000TI
The LAN (Local Area Network) system consists of auto amp., mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake
door motor.
A configuration of these components is shown in the diagram below.
System ConstructionEJS000TJ
A small network is constructed between the auto amp., air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door
motor. The auto amp. and motors are connected by data transmission lines and motor power supply lines. The
LAN network is built through the ground circuits of each door motor.
Addresses, motor opening angle signals, motor stop signals and error checking messages are all transmitted
through the data transmission lines connecting the auto amp. and each door motor.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door
motor.

Address

Motor opening angle signal

Data transmission

Motor stop and drive decision

Opening angle sensor (PBR function)

Comparison

Decision (Auto amp. indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)
OPERATION
The auto amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The auto amp. sends mode door, air mix door and
intake door opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door motor LCU and intake door motor
LCU.
The mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amp. and each of the motor position
sensors is compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently,
HOT/COLD, DEFROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The new selection data is
returned to the auto amp.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL

TRANSMISSION DATA AND TRANSMISSION ORDER
Auto amp. 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 amp. 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 usual, 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 symptoms.

Malfunction electrical frequency

Poor electrical connections

Signal leakage from transmission lines

Signal level fluctuation

Stop Signal:
At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal malfunction message is delivered to
the auto amp. 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.
FAN SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tempera-
ture, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With FAN control dial set to AUTO, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake doors are automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON-OFF operation of the compressor.
OUTLET DOOR CONTROL
The outlet door is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temper-
ature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
The ECM controls compressor operation using input signals from the throttle position sensor, refrigerant pres-
sure sensor (or dual-pressure switch) and auto amp.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The self-diagnostic system is built into the auto amp. to quickly locate the cause of symptoms.

FAN CONTROL DIAL
Automatically or Manually control the blower speed. Twenty-five speeds are available for manual control.
Shifting fan control dial to AUTO, compressor is turned ON automatically.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When illumination is ON, rear window is defogged.
INTAKE SWITCH

When intake switch is ON, REC indicator turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to REC.

When press intake switch again, FRE indicator turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to FRE.

When intake switch is pressed for approximately 1.5 seconds or longer, REC and FRE indicators blink
twice. Then, automatic control mode is entered. Inlet status is displayed even during automatic control.

When DEF position or FRE indicator is turned ON, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC
switch is automatically turned OFF (fixed to FRE mode).
REC mode can be re-entered by pressing intake switch again. (Except DEF position)
A/C SWITCH
The compressor is ON or OFF.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the fan control dial is ON will turn off the A/C switch and compressor.)
