Diag. Code 23Compressor Lock Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The pressure switch sends the appropriate signals to the air conditioner co\
ntrol assembly when the air
conditioner refrigerant pressure drops too low or rises too high. When the air cond\
itioner control assem-
bly receives these signals, it outputs signals via the Engine & ECT ECU to switch off the compressor
relay and turns the magnet clutch off.

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.

Temperature Control Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
By turning the temp. control switch, the set temperature of the
A/C can be adjusted in steps of 1
°F (USA) or 0.5 °C (Canada).
Turning the switch fully will set the A/C to MAX. COLD or MAX.
HOT.
The ECU calculates the set temperature from the combination
of Hi (5 V) or Low (0 V) terminals SET 1 ~ 5 of the temp. control
SW and displays the set temperature on the LCD display.
If a malfunction occurs in the temp. control SW circuit, malfunc-
tions such as not being able to set the desired temperature oc-
cur.
DIAGNOSTIC CHART
WIRING DIAGRAM
Check for open and short in harness and
connector between A/C control assembly and
temp. control SW.
Check temp. control switch.
Proceed to next circuit inspection
shown on matrix chart (See page
AC-36 ).
Replace temp. control switch.
Repair or replace harness or
connector.
Check and replace A/C control assembly.
Check voltage between terminal SET 1 ~ 5
and SG of A/C control assembly.
