REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

Refrigerant Cycle

INFOID:0000000006164674

REFRIGERANT FLOW

The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,

through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator coils

are controlled by externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.

Refrigerant System Protection

INFOID:0000000006164675

REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR

The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-

sor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rises above or falls below the specifications, the refriger-

ant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends a voltage signal to the ECM.

The ECM de-energizes the A/C relay to disengage the magnetic compressor clutch when pressure on the high
pressure side detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (28 kg/cm

2

, 398 psi), or below

about 120 kPa (1.22 kg/cm

2

, 17.4 psi).

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.

When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an abnormal level [more than 2,990 kPa (30.5 kg/

Control System Diagram

INFOID:0000000006164676

CONTROL SYSTEM

The control system consists of input sensors, switches, the front air control (microcomputer) and outputs.

The relationship of these components is shown in the figure below:

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM

Front air control

AUTO SWITCH 

• The compressor, intake door, air mix doors, outlet doors and blower speed are automatically controlled so

that the in-vehicle temperature will reach, and be maintained at the set temperature selected by the operator.

• When pressing AUTO switch, air inlet, air outlet, blower speed, and discharge air temperature are automati-

cally controlled.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (DRIVER)

Increases or decreases the set temperature.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (PASSENGER)

Increases or decreases the set temperature.

RECIRCULATION (

) SWITCH

• When REC switch is ON, REC switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is set to REC.

• When REC switch is turned OFF, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC switch is automati-

cally turned OFF. REC mode can be re-entered by pressing REC switch again.

• REC switch is not operated when DEF switch is turned ON, at the D/F position, or in floor position.

DEFROSTER (

) SWITCH

Positions the air outlet doors to the defrost position. Also positions the intake doors to the outside air position,

and turns A/C compressor ON.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH (CREW CAB)

When switch is ON, rear window and door mirrors are defogged.

OFF SWITCH

The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the outside air position, and the air outlet

doors are set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.

BLOWER CONTROL DIAL

The blower speed is manually controlled with this dial.

A/C SWITCH

The compressor is ON or OFF.

(Pressing the A/C switch when the AUTO switch is ON will turn off the A/C switch and compressor.)

MODE SWITCHES

Controls the air discharge outlets.

DUAL SWITCH

• When the DUAL switch indicator is illuminated, the driver and passenger temperature can each be set inde-

pendently. 

• When the DUAL switch indicator is not illuminated, the driver temperature setting is applied to both sides.
