OPERATION
CONDENSER FAN AND RADIATOR FAN
CONTROL
The ECM judges the required revolution speed of
radiator fan motor and condenser fan motor using the
input signals transmitted from A/C switch, output shaft
speed sensor and engine coolant temperature
sensor.
COMPRESSOR CONTROL
When operating the A/C switch
⦆
The air thermo sensor, which senses the
temperature of the air flowing out of the evaporator,
deactivates the compressor at 3°C (37.4°F) or
below.
⦆
The A/C pressure sensor turns OFF when the
refrigerant pressure becomes excessively high or
low, thus protecting the compressor circuit (See
Table below).
⦆
When the air thermo sensor is activated, and the
ignition switch, blower switch, and A/C switch are
ON, the A/C compressor clutch relay is energized.
When operating the mode selection dial
⦆
The A/C will work when the mode selection dial is
set to the "Defroster" or "Defroster/foot" position, or
the temperature control dial is set to the "MAXIMUM
A/C" position. In other dial positions, when the A/C
switch is turned on, the A/C will work.
