Intake sensor
It is mounted to the side of
evaporator core and detects the
temperature of the evaporator
core.Water temperature
sensor
It is mounted to the heater pipe
part and detects the coolant
temperature.
3) Air Conditioner Module Layout
Temp actuator
It changes the air mix door
opening according to the
control command from the
heater and A/C control
assembly.Evaporator core
It cools the surrounding air by
passing through the low-
temperature and low-pressure
refrigerant sprayed from the
expansion valve.
Heater core
It is mounted to the left-hand of
the air conditioner module and
heats the indoor using the heat
of the engine coolant.
Mode actuator
It controls the air outlet damper
to the five directions according
to the control command from
the heater and A/C control
assembly.

Blower motor
It is mounted to the bottom of
the blower box and sends the
air inside of the vehicle. PTC heater
It is mounted to the heater air
outlet in the heater module
and warms the air from the
heater to the air vent.
Intake actuator
It changes the air source selection
mode according to the control
command from the heater and A/C
control assembly.A/C filter
It is mounted to the top of the
blower motor and filters the air
before it is discharged through
the duct.
MOS module
It controls the rotation speed of
the blower motor by receiving the
fan speed control signal from the
heater and A/C control assembly.

temperature.
AUTO switch
When pressing this switch, "AUTO" is shown on
the display and the fan speed and air distribution
mode are adjusted automatically to keep interior
temperature to the set temperature.
ON/OFF switch
Pressing the switch turns the FATC on/off. When
the FATC is turned on, it memorizes the previous
status before becoming off.
Defroster mode switch
This is used to remove the condensation from the
windshield. When you press the switch, the
indicator comes on and the air distribution is
changed to the windshield at the same time, then
the air conditioner starts to operate. When you
press the switch again, the indicator goes off and
the air distribution returns to the previous status.

(6) A/C control
The air conditioner is controlled by the A/C compressor of the engine ECU according to the signal from
the heater and A/C control assembly. The driver can see the air conditioner operation through the LCD
display and the indicator of the A/C switch.
Manual control
Pressing the A/C switch or selecting defrost mode turns on the A/C.
Auto control
The A/C is controlled in accordance with the indoor temperature and ambient temperature.
or below) in winter, the compressor is turned off to protect the A/C compressor.

4. MTC SYSTEM OPERATION PROCESS
1) Input/Output Factors
The MTC (Manual Temperature Control) system controls all the actuator and blower motor by the driver.
The heater and A/C control assembly with MTC has the dials and switches with the indicators so that the
driver can know the air conditioning system's operation.

2) Function
(1) Function of heater and A/C control assembly with MTC
Fan speed dial
Turn the dial to the left
or right to adjust the fan
speed in 7 steps.
A/C switch
When the switch is
pressed, the indicator
comes on and the air
conditioner starts at the
same time. Pressing the
switch again goes out
the indicator and stops
the air conditioner at the
same time.
Vent mode switch
If the switch is pressed, the
indicator comes on while the
air flows to the upper part of
the body.
Bi-level mode switch
If the switch is pressed, the
indicator comes on while the
air flows to the footwell and
the upper part of the body.
MAX A/C control switch
This is designed for increasing driver
comfort. When the switch is pressed,
the indicator comes on and the air
conditioner starts at the same time
and vent and recirculation modes are
selected automatically.Defroster mode switch
This is used to remove the
condensation from the
windshield. When you press the
switch, the indicator comes on
and the air distribution is
changed to the windshield at
the same time, then the air
conditioner starts to operate.Defroster & foot mode
switch
If the switch is pressed,
the indicator comes on
while the air flows to the
footwell and the
windshield.
Foot mode switch
If the switch is pressed, the indicator
comes on while the air flows to the
footwell.
Temperature
control dial
Turn the dial to the
left or right to adjust
the set temperature.
Air source selection
switch
When the switch is pressed, the
indicator comes on and the
mode is switched to the
recirculation mode at the same
time. When pressed again, the
indicator goes out and switched
to the fresh air mode at the
same time.

(4) Air source control
When pressing the air source selection switch, the air source mode is changed via the intake actuator's
operation. The air source mode is switched between the fresh air and recirculation alternatively each
time the switch is pressed. You can see the air source mode through the switch's indicator. (the indicator
comes on at recirculation mode)
Control by vehicle speed
The air source selection is controlled in accordance with the vehicle speed while driving. Operating
conditions and control process are as follows:
When the PTC heater operates at fresh air mode in winter
When the vehicle speed is 45 km/h or lower in fresh air mode, the air source door is open 30% of its
maximum opening. If the vehicle speed is 65 km/h or more, then the air source door is completely
open. -

(6) A/C control
The air conditioner is operated at the defroster mode and MAX air conditioner mode and when the A/C
switch is turned to "ON" position. It is controlled by the A/C compressor of the engine ECU according to
the signal from the heater and A/C control assembly. The driver can see that the A/C has been activated
when an indicator lamps at the A/C switch and MAX A/C switch comes on. If the intake sensor detects
the freezing of the evaporator core, it stops the air conditioner by turning off the compressor.
MAX A/C control
This is designed for increasing driver comfort. When the switch is pressed, the air conditioner is
operated and vent and recirculation modes are selected automatically. The discharge temperature and
fan speed are regulated depending on the driver's choice.
