14.2.3 Solar Sensor  (Fig. 1) 
The solar  sensor  is mounted  on top of the  facia, between  the 
facia  defrost  grilles. 
The  sensor  isconstructed around 
a photo-diode to measure 
direct  sunlight.  The sensor  provides an output  response  sig- 
nal totheA1CCM;thisensuresthe in-cartemperaturestabil- ity whilst  reducing outlet temperature  to compensate  for 
solar  load heating.  The solar  sensor  is fitted  to aircondition- ing vehicles  only. 
14.2.4  Engine Speed Signal 
The A 1 CCM  receives  an engine  speed signal from the En- gine Control Module (ECM). 
This signal facilitates  compressor lock sensing (12 cyl. ve- hicles only). 
This  signal  also  aids  the A 
1 CCM  inhibition  of the  heated 
screen relays.  At engine  speeds  lower than 800 RPM the A I CCM  assumes  poor idle or engine  not running  and will not 
permit the  selection of the  heated  screens. 
14.2.5  Ambient Temperature  Sensor (Fig. 2) 
The ambient  temperature  sensor is located  within the LH 
brake cooling  duct. 
The sensor detects  exterior airtemperature  and provides the 
A 
I CCM  with a signal  to allow compensation  for ambient 
conditions. 
The  A 
1 CCM  is then  capable  of informing  the control  panel of the  ambient air temperature  in both  Centigrade  and 
Fahrenheit,  and  updates  the information  every four 
seconds. 
The  sensor  is damped  and 
so does not detect  temperature 
fluctuations  as quickly  as other temperature  sensors. This 
facility  prevents  temporary temperature fluctuations  affec
- ting overall temperature control. 
14.2.6  Vehicle Speed Signal 
The A 1 CCM  receives a road speed  signal from the instru- ment  pack, derived  from the ABS 1 TC CM. 
This signal  is required  to control the blower fan  speed to mi
- nimise the  effects of ram air, i.e. blower fan  speed changes 
in  proportion  to vehicle  road speed. 
The  signal  also determines  the frequency 
at which the ambi- ent air  temperature is  updated. The road  speed compensa- 
tion  for blower  control  is inhibited  when  the  selected 
temperature  is 'LO  (maximum cooling) and 'HI' (maximum 
heating)  and defrost mode. 
14.2.7  Evaporator  Temperature  Sensor 
Located next to the  evaporator  fins, the sensor  detects  the air temperature leaving the  evaporator, and sends  this sig- nal to the  A 1 CCM. 
When  the temperature  approaches 
OOC, the A 1 CCM  disen- 
gages  the compressor  to prevent freezing  conditions. When 
thetemperature  rises above3OC.theAlCCM re-engagesthe 
compressor.

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.

15.4.1.4 Remote Recall 
Remote activation  of memory positions 1  and 2 can be achieved  using the  key fob transmitters (one  per set of keys). 
lfthe  vehicle  is unlocked  using the  remote transmitter  the stored  driving  position  will be adopted  automatically. If the 
vehicle  is unlocked  using the remote transmitter  and an exit position  is already set  the corresponding entry position 
will  be adopted  until the ignition  key is inserted,  the stored driving position  will then  be restored. 0  ~ 
15.4.1.5 
Reverse Mirror Dip 
On selection  of reverse  gear and operation of the mirror toggle switch  downwards, the passenger side rear view  mirror 
will  automatically tilt downwards  to assist  reverse  parking.  Upward adjustment disables reverse  dip, a further down- ward adjustment when still in reverse  gear reinstates reverse dip.  The mirror  will return  to normal position  when any 
other  gear position is  selected. 
15.4.2 SYSTEM COMPONENTS 
15.4.2.1  Seats 
- Driver and Passenger 
The driver  and passenger  seat adjustment  systems comprises  the following  components: 
o Fore / aft motor 
o Front raise / lower motor 
o Rear raise / lower  motor 
0 Squab  recline motor 
0 Headrest  motor 
0 Lumbarpump 
0 Squab heater 
0 Inner cushion  heater 
0 Outer cushion  heater 
0 Heater thermostat 
0 Switch  pack 
o Seat Control Module (SCM) 
o Wiring  harness 
15.4.2.2  Motors 
The five seat  position adjustment motors  are located  below the  seat cushions  (horizontal  and vertical adjustment)  and 
behind the  squab (recline  and headrest  adjustment).  Each motor unit incorporates a potentiometer which provides 
directional movement position control  via feedbackvoltage variations  to the  SCM.  Positional  variations  are activated 
by the  SCM in response  to signals  from switches mounted  on the  seat  switch  pack. 
15.4.2.3  Lumbar Pump 
The lumbar  pump, located  behind the seat squab  allows  adjustment  of seat  rigidity  by increasing/decreasing air pres- sure in the lumbar  pad. The pump motor  is controlled  from a switch on theseat switch pack and governed by  an in-line 
pressure  switch. 
A solenoid valve  is used  to regulate  air flow  to the  lumbar  pad. 
15.4.2.4  Heaters and  Thermostats 
The two  cushion  heaters and squab  heater  are  regulated by a single in-line thermostat  and operated by a switch 
mounted  on thecenter  console switch pack. Operation  of this switch  causesthe Body Processor  Unit (BPU) to energize a timed  input to SCM  (for 11 minute f 1) which  in turn  causes  SCM to energize  the heater  supply.  The supply  will 
remain on  until timed out, although the  heater circuit will be broken by  the thermostat  if the  set temperature  is ex- ceeded. 
Note: Heatingcan only  occur when the ignition  switch is position I1 and  the ambient  temperature  is belowthe thermo- stat  pre-set value  of 26°C.

15.4.6 NON-MEMORY AND MANUAL  APPLICATIONS 
15.4.6.1 
Non-Memory 
Seats,  column  and mirrors  may be supplied without memoryfacilities  on certain  vehicles. In this case,  adjustment  of 
each  application  is still controlled in the same  way but the memory  facility is disabled and  the memory  switch pack 
not  fitted. 
15.4.6.2 Manual  Seats 
Manual  seats are adjustable  vertically and horizontally, vertical adjustment  being motorized but horizontal adjustment 
manually  effected. The seats  have heated  cushions and  squab, but are not operated by an electronic  control module. 
Control  is effected  using three  relays, two for vertical adjustment  and one for heating. 
Vertical  adjustment  is requested 
by operation  of a switch  located  on the  left-hand  side of the  seat  front which  completes 
the  electrical  supply to either  the raise  or lower  relay as required.  When either relay is energized  a change  of contact 
state  connects  one side  of the motor  to 
+12V and the other side to ground.  Reverse operation  reverses supply and 
ground  connection. 
Heating is still  controlled by a timed  output  from the BPU.  Operation  of a switch  located  on the 
center console  indicates 
to  BPU  that heating  is required.  Battery  voltage is then  applied  to the  heater  relay for 11 minutes.  The  relay contact 
completes  the heater circuit,  providing seat heating  (and illuminating  the switch  surround) until the timer  expires, or 
optimum  seat temperature is  achieved. Operation  of the  heater  switch  before 'time-out' is achieved cancels  the heat- ing request.  Operation of the heater  switch  after 'time-out' has been achieved  re-starts the heating  cycle. 
15.4.6.3 Manual Column 
Manual column  adjustment in the two planes is achieved by purely  mechanical  means,  release catches  allowing col- 
umn movement within a fixed  locking  mechanism.
