Precautions
A/C System CautionS7RS0B7220001
Refer to “A/C System Caution”.
Precautions in Diagnosing TroubleS7RS0B7220002
• Do not disconnect couplers from HVAC control module, battery cable from battery, HVAC control module ground 
wire harness from body or main fuse before confirming diagnostic information (diagnostic trouble code) stored in 
HVAC control module memory.
• Diagnostic information (diagnostic trouble code) stored in  HVAC control module can be checked by display of HVAC 
control module. Also, it can be checked by using SU ZUKI scan tool. Before checking diagnostic information 
(diagnostic trouble code), read this manual and operator's manual for SUZUKI scan tool to know how to read 
diagnostic information (diagnostic trouble code).
• When trouble is diagnosed using diagnostic information  (diagnostic trouble code) on display of HVAC control 
module, keep in your mind that each diagnostic inform ation (diagnostic trouble code) has priority, and only 
diagnostic information (diagnostic troub le code) which has the highest priority is indicated. Therefore, after 
troubleshooting the malfunction, make  sure if there exists any other diagnostic information (diagnostic trouble 
code).
• Be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit Service in Section 00” before inspection.
Precautions on Servicing A/C SystemS7RS0B7220003
Refer to “Precautions on  Servicing A/C System”.
General Description
Auto A/C System DescriptionS7RS0B7221001
The automatic type air conditioning system (auto A/C) is pr ovided with the function to automatically control the inside 
air temperature, fan speed, air flow outl et direction and air intake position by HVAC control module in addition to 
functions of the manual type air conditioning system (manua l A/C). Once the inside air temperature is set using the 
temperature selector, HVAC control module automatically controls  the inside air temperature at the constant level at all 
times based on the inside air temperature, outside ai r temperature, amount of sunlight and engine coolant 
temperature detected respectively by the inside air te mperature sensor, outside air temperature sensor, sunload 
sensor and ECT sensor. At this time, “FULL AUTO A/ C” appears on the display of HVAC control module.
With the air intake selector pushed in the above state, it is possible to select any position of the air intake actuator.
Then, “FULL AUTO A/C” on the display changes to “AUTO A/C”.

HVAC Control Module Operation DescriptionS7RS0B7221002
Temperature Control
HVAC control module calculates the target temperature 
control door position based on signals from the 
temperature selector, inside air temperature sensor, 
outside air temperature sensor and sunload sensor and 
controls the temperature control actuator so that the 
current position of the temperature control door matches 
its target position.
Fan Speed Control
HVAC control module calculates the target blower fan 
speed based on signals from the temperature selector, 
inside air temperature sensor, outside air temperature 
sensor and sunload sensor, compares it with the current 
blower fan speed inputted from the blower motor 
controller to control the current blower fan speed to the 
target level.
Air Flow Outlet Control
HVAC control module calculates the target temperature 
control door position based on signals from the 
temperature selector, inside air temperature sensor, 
outside air temperature sensor and sunload sensor. 
Using thus obtained target temperature control door 
position, it further calculates  the target air flow control 
door position and controls the ai r flow control actuator so 
that the current air flow c ontrol door position becomes 
the target position. Air Intake Position Control
HVAC control module determines the position of the air 
intake control door based on signals from the 
temperature selector, inside air temperature sensor, 
outside air temperature sensor and sunload sensor and 
selects any of the following positions by controlling the 
position of the air intake control door.
• FRESH position (FRE)
• RECIRCULATION position (REC)
• MIX position (MIX)

On-Board Diagnostic System DescriptionS7RS0B7221007
NOTE
The diagnostic information as diagnostic 
trouble code (DTC) can be known by using 
SUZUKI scan tool. For further details, refer to 
“DTC Check”.
 
HVAC control module detect s malfunctions, which may 
occur in the following area.
• Outside air temperature sensor
• Inside air temperature sensor
• Evaporator temperature sensor
• Sunload sensor
• ECT sensor
• Temperature control actuator of HVAC unit
• Air flow control actuator of HVAC unit
• A/C refrigerant pressure sensor • HVAC control module
• VSS
• Serial Communication line
• CAN communication line
When HVAC control module detects malfunction, the 
“AUTO” indicator lamp (1) flashes to warn and the 
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored in the memory of 
the module. When diagnosing trouble, the DTC can be 
checked according to “DTC Check”.
