Power Transistor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The air conditioner control assembly controls the blower speed by varying the vo\
ltage at terminal BLW
which applies the base current to the power transistor.
The air conditioner control assembly also monitors the power transistor col\
lector voltage at terminal VM,
to control blower air volume precisely.
DIAGNOSTIC CHART
WIRING DIAGRAM
Check power transistor.
Check harness and connector between air
conditioner control assembly and power
transistor (See page
IN±27).
Proceed to next circuit inspection
shown on matrix chart (See page AC-36).
Replace power transistor.
Repair or replace harness or
connector.

Igniter Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The air conditioner control assembly monitors the engine speed through sign\
als sent from the igniter.
The air conditioner control assembly uses these signals and compressor speed signals to detect the
compressor lock condition.
DIAGNOSTIC CHART
WIRING DIAGRAM
Check operation of tachometer.
Check harness and connector between air
conditioner control assembly and igniter
(See page IN-27).
Proceed to combination meter
troubleshooting (See page

Compressor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The air conditioner control assembly outputs the magnetic clutch ON signal \
from terminal MGC to the
Engine & ECT ECU.
When the Engine & ECT ECU receives this signal, it sends a signal from terminal A\
CMG and switches
the air conditioner magnetic clutch relay on, thus turning on the air condi\
tioner compressor magnetic
clutch.
The air conditioner control assembly also monitors at terminal A/C IN wheth\
er or not power is being sup-
plied to the magnetic clutch.

Water Valve VSV Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
If the target air mix damper position is on the hot side beyond a predeter\
mined level, the A/C control
assembly turns ON Tr inside the A/C control assembly.
This turns the water valve VSV ON so that engine coolant flows to the he\
ater core.
If the target air mix damper position is on the cool side beyond a prede\
termined level, the A/C control
assembly OFF Tr inside the A/C control assembly.
This turns OFF the VSV and stops circulation of engine coolant to the he\
ater core, thus increasing the
cooling performance.
DIAGNOSTIC CHART
Check voltage between terminal WV of A/C
control assembly connector and body
ground .
Check water valve VSV.
Check for open and short in harness
and connector between VSV and A/C
control assembly .
Check and replace A/C control assembly.
Replace water valve VSV.
Repair or replace harness or
connector.
Proceed to next circuit inspection
shown on matrix chart
(See page
