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.
