14.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Air Conditioning electronic Control Module (A/ CCM) located on the right-hand side of the A / C unit, controls the 0 functions of the system.
These functions include:
0 In-car temperature control
0 In-car humidity control (Air conditioning vehicles only)
0 Air flow / volume and distribution
The temperature of the passenger compartment is continuously compared with the temperature selected on the con
- trol panel LCD. A digital microprocessor within the A/ CCM receives the data signals. Comparison of these signals
and those from system temperature sensors and feedback devices results in the appropriate output voltage changes
needed to vary the blend of air flow into the passenger compartment.
The climate control system peripherals communicate with the A/ CCM via three main device categories comprising
of manual inputs, automatic outputs and inputs, as shown
in Fig. 1.

14.2 COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
14.2.1 Control Panel
The control panel (Fig. 1) provides the operator interface with the climate control system.
The control panel communicates with the
A / CCM via a serial data communications link. During each data transfer
cycle the control panel states whether it is an air conditioning or heater version, thus enabling the A/ CCM to control
the system functions accordingly.
Tontrol panel operation is described in detail in the 'Climate Control Systems' section of the VSM.

14.2.8 Heater Matrix Temperature Sensor
This sensor is positioned inside the air conditioning unit just
downstream of the heater matrix. The sensor monitors the
post
-heater air temperature, before the air is distributed to
the passenger compartment. In conjunction with the A / CCM this sensor provides the input to maintain a constant
outlet temperature.
14.2.9 Coolant Temperature Signal
This input is required to provide blower inhibit control, to
avoid cold
air being delivered in heating mode when the en- gine coolant temperature is below 3OOC. The input also
monitors the temperature of the coolant delivered to the
heater matrix to assist outlet temperature control.
14.2. IO Compressor ON Signal
This signal line monitors the compressor relay to inform the
A/ CCM of the compressor status and to facilitate lock detec-
tion and error sensing.
14.2.11 Motorized In-car Aspirator (Fig. 1)
The Motorized In-car Aspirator (MIA) detects the air tem- perature within the passenger compartment. A small motor
driven fan (blown aspirator) draws air across the thermistor,
which changes its electrical resistances in response to
changes in air temperature, converting
a temperature rating
into an electrical signal.
The MIA is located on the back of the driver's side knee
bolster.
14.2.12 Compressor Lock Signal - 12 cy/. vehicles only
This signal provides the A / CCM with compressor rotation
speed. This is then compared with engine rotation speed.
If the ratio of the compressor speed against engine speed
drops belowthe A/CCM limits, indicating compressor/ belt
slippage, the compressor clutch is disengaged.
When compressor clutch disengaging commences the A/C
LED on the control panel will flash once per second.
14.2.13 Refrigerant Pressure Switch (A/C Vehicles only)
The refrigerant pressure switch (Fig. 2) is located under the
hood on the liquid line.
The switch contacts open when abnormal pressures are
sensed. This action inhibits the compressor clutch drive.
14.2.14 Water Valve
The water valve is used in conjunction with the water pump
to regulate the output air temperature. The water valve is off when the ignition is on, engine not running.
14.2.15 Water Pump
The water pump is energized in all engine running modes
except for under cold coolant condition at blower inhibit and
in panel
off mode. The water pump is off when the ignition
is on, engine not running.

14.2.16 Servo Motor Control
The system incorporates several servo motors which direct the flow of air through the air conditioning system. The
motors are driven by A / CCM signals in either a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.
Servo motor position is monitored via
a feedback potentiometer situated within the motor housing.
The system servos comprise:
o RH and LH Air intake servos (Fresh / Recirc.).
0 Centre vent servo.
o Defrost (screen vent) servo.
0 Footservo.
0 Cool air by-pass servo.
14.2.17 Blower Motor Control
The A/ CCM controls two blower motors, delivering airflow
to the evaporator / heater unit, at variable fan speeds. The
blower motors are regulated by power transistor modules
which provide linear variation of blower speed; the blower
speed
is increased or reduced progressively in response to
vehicle speed, minimising the ram effect of forward motion.
The blower motors are inhibited when engine coolant tem
- perature is below 30°C and heating is requested.
14.2.18 Differential Control
The differential control is mounted on the facia centre vent. It is used to control the temperature difference between the
upper and lower outlets. Fig.

14.2.19 Heated Rear Window, Door Mirrors and Front Screen
The Heated Rear Window (HRW) function can only be activated with the ignition on and the engine running. Operation of the HRW switch operates the status condition LED on the control panel and switches on the HRWfor approximately 21 minutes. Selection of the HRW also operates the door mirror heaters for approximately 11 minutes. The operation
can be cancelled by switch re-selection or ignition off. System off does not cancel the HRW operation.
The Heated Front Screen
(HFS) function can only be activated with the ignition on and the engine running, and either
‘defrost’ mode selected or HFS selected. Each half, left and right hand split, switches on for approx. 6.5 minutes. The
operation can be cancelled by switch re-selection or ignition off. System off does not cancel the HFS operation.

15.2.3 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
15.2.3.1 Speedometer
The speed indication input signal, sent as a pulse rate, is generated by an open collectortransistor within the ABS con- trol module. The instrument pack converts the frequency of this signal to drive the speedometer and to provide two
road speed outputs:
Speed output
1 (pin 2,48 way connector)
This output is connected to the radio head unit, security control module and the power steering module.
Speed output 2 (pin
3,48 way connector)
This output is connected to the body processor unit, cruise control control module, air conditioning control module
and the engine management system.
15.2.3.2 Tachometer
The tachometer input, all engine variants, is provided by the engine management control module. When the engine
is running the control module generates three high state pulses per engine revolution.
15.2.3.3
This signal comes direct from the variable resistance type oil pressure sensor, mounted on the engine. The sensor
resistance values range from 75Q (8 Bar) to 330Q (0 Bar).
When the gauge reaches
a pre-determined reading the instrument pack illuminates the warning light.
Engine Oil Pressure and Warning lamp
15.2.3.4 Engine Coolant Temperature
This signal comes direct from the coolant temperature sensor (variable resistance type), mounted on the engine. The
sensor resistance values range from 34Q (hot) to 241Q (cold), when disconnected from the vehicle.
Note: The coolant temperature gauge is calibrated to indicate at approximately 'Normal' for a wide range of normal
engine operating temperatures.
15.2.3.5 Fuel Tank level Gauge and Warning lamp
This signal (pin 20,24-way connector) comes direct from the variable resistor type fuel level sensor. The sensor resis- tance values range from 80 ohms (full tank) to 900 ohms (empty tank).
When the gauge reaches a pre
-determined reading, the instrument pack illuminates the warning lamp.
15.2.3.6
Battery voltage is displayed on the gauge by measuring the ignition voltage.
The red charge warning lamp will illuminate if either the voltage is too low (below
10.5V) or too high (above 15.5V). In addition, the generator provides a low signal to the instrument pack (pin 9,48-way connector) when battery charging
is unsatisfactory.

15.2.3.7 Liquid Crystal Display
A single line, six digit, 7 segment display with six trip function flags used for odometer, trip computer and driver mess- ages.
!Y,Q&: If the instrument pack has not been PECUS programmed, the back illumination of the LCD will not switch on.
Check that a PECUS label is attached to the back of the pack.
