Do not attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a

CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will

not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an

improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination

may occur.

Component

Description

A/C and AV switch assembly
(except base audio system)

Front A/C control operation signal is transmitted from the A/C and AV switch assembly to AV 
control unit via communication line.

A/C display unit
(with base audio system)

The A/C display unit indicates operation status of the front and rear automatic air conditioning 
system.

A/C switch assembly
(with base audio system)

The A/C switch assembly controls the operation of the A/C and heating system based on inputs 
from the temperature control knob, the mode switches, the blower control dial, the ambient tem-
perature sensor, the intake sensor, and inputs received from the ECM via CAN communication. 
Diagnosis of the A/C switch assembly can be performed using the CONSULT. There is no self-
diagnostic feature available.

A/C auto amp.

A/C auto amp. controls front automatic air conditioning system by inputting and calculating sig-
nals from each sensor and each switch.

A/C Compressor

Vaporized refrigerant is drawn into the A/C compressor from the evaporator, where it is com-
pressed to a high pressure, high temperature vapor. The hot, compressed vapor is then dis-
charged to the condenser.
