Climate Control Systems
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.

15.3.2.3 Vacuum Pump /Control Valve Unit
The vacuum pump / control valve unit is located under the hood, behind the LH headlamp. When adjustment of the
throttle position is required, the pump and valve are 'pulsed' on/off by the SC CM to achieve the required vacuum and
hence vehicle speed.
15.3.2.4 Pressure Release Valve
The pressure release (or dump) valve is located adjacent to the vacuum pump /control valve module and opens, vent- ing system air pressure to atmosphere, when speed control is disabled.
