AIR CONDITIONING 1B Ð 7
EVAPORATOR
The evaporator cools and dehumidifies the air
before the air enters the vehicle. High-pressure
liquid refrigerant flows through the expansion valve
(1) into the low-pressure area of the evaporator (2).
The heat in the air passing through the evaporator
core is lost to the cooler surface of the core, thereby
cooling the air.
As heat is lost between the air and the evaporator
core surface, moisture in the vehicle condenses on
the outside surface of the evaporator core and is
drained off as water.
When the evaporator malfunctions, the trouble will
show up as inadequate supply of cool air. The
cause is typically a partially plugged core due to
dirt, or a malfunctioning blower motor.
The evaporator core with a laminate louver fin is a
single-sided tank type where only one tank is
provided under the core.
ELECTRONIC THERMOSTAT
The thermostat consists of the thermosensor (1)
and thermostat unit (4) which functions electrically
to reduce the noises being generated while the
system is in operation.
The electronic thermosensor (1) is mounted at the
evaporator core (2) outlet and senses the
temperature of the cool air from the evaporator (3).
Temperature signals are input to the thermostat
unit. This information is compared by the thermo
unit and the results in output to operate the A/C
Thermostat relay and turn the magnetic clutch
ÒONÓ or ÒOFFÓ to prevent evaporator freeze-up.
A characteristic of the sensor is that the resistance
decreases as the temperature increases and the
resistance increases as the temperature decreases.
REFRIGERANT LINE
Restrictions in the refrigerant line will be indicated by:
1. Suction line; A restricted suction line will cause
low suction pressure at the compressor, low
discharge pressure and little or not cooling.
2. Discharge line; A restriction in the discharge line
generally will cause the discharge line to leak.
3. Liquid line; A liquid line restriction will be
evidenced by low discharge and suction
pressure and insufficient cooling.
Refrigerant flexible hoses that have a low
permeability to refrigerant and moisture are used.
These low permeability hoses have a special nylon
layer on the inside.
SERVICE CHARGE VALVES
The charging hoses have a quick-joint type fitting,
to reduce refrigerant loss during removal and
installation.

The mode and mix actuators are common actuators
with the built-in potentiometer. For the intake
actuator, the contact switch type is selected.
The potentiometer is a register assembled to the
printed circuit board of the mix and mode
actuators. It detects the air mix door position
specified by rotation of the output axis as a ratio of
the variable terminal (VM) voltage against the
reference voltage (VDD: 5V), then signals the value
to the automatic heater/air conditioner control unit.¥ Movement of Mix Actuator
Position of the air mix door is determined by the
controller on the automatic heater/air conditioner
control unit.
As the heat or cool side of the controller is
grounded, the transistor on the driver is activated
and, thus, the motor rotation is turned on. The
sliding contact connected to the motor sends the
position detection signal from the potentiometer
to the automatic heater/air conditioner control
unit. As the set temperature and interior
temperature are balanced, the controller returns
to the neutral and the motor rotation is stopped.

¥ Movement of Mode Actuator
As target position of the mode door is decided on
the controller of the control unit, the control unit
reads the position detection signal from the
actuator to select the clockwise or counter
clockwise motor rotation direction.
Grounding the controller VENT or DEF side after
the direction selection activates the transistor on
the driver, thus turning on the motor rotation.
Accompanying the motor rotation, the sliding
contact rotates, too. When the target position is
reached, the controller on the control unit returns
to the neutral and the motor stops.¥ Movement of Intake Actuator
The controller on the automatic heater/air
conditioner control unit selects an intake mode to
be used.
As the Terminal No.5 is grounded via the
sliding contact on the terminal plate, the
transistor on the driver is activated, thus turning
on the motor rotation. Then, accompanying
move of the motor, the sliding contact rotates
until grounding of the Terminal No.5 is
removed, thus stopping the motor.I-49

OVERVIEW OF AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF
FULL AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER
The full automatic heater and air conditioner on this
vehicle has the following features:
¥ Interior temperature control.
¥ Air flow control.
¥ Mode (blow port) control.
¥ Intake (switching between fresh air and interior
air) control.
¥ Heater start timing control.
¥ Cooler start timing control.
¥ Evaporator anti-freeze control.
1. Interior Temperature Control
The automatic heater/air conditioner control unit
operates on the setup temperature signal from
the temperature control switch and other sensor
signals to derive the total signal. Then, the
control unit compares this signal against the
signal from the potentiometer to determine
rotation direction of the mix actuator. The mix
actuator moves the air mix door to the aperture
specified by the total signal so that the specified
interior temperature is achieved.
If the compressor is turned off in the A/C (air
conditioning) mode, aperture of the air mix door
is offset according to the outside air temperature
or the specified interior temperature. This
function removes the difference in the blowing
temperature in this state and that of when the
compressor is turned on.
When FH or FC is selected for the setup
temperature, the air mix door is accordingly
fixed to the Full Heat or Full Cool mode.
When the VENT mode is selected, aperture of
the air mix door is controlled so that excessively
heated air may not be blown from the VENT
blow port.

4. Intake (Fresh air/interior air switching) Control
In the Full Auto mode, the automatic heater/air
conditioner control unit operates on the setup
temperature signal and other sensor input
signals to derive the total signal. According to
the pattern specified by this signal, the control
unit provides the intake control.
When the fan is turned off or the A/C (air
conditioning) is turned off, the intake is fixed to
the FRESH mode.
When FC or FH is selected from the control
switch, the intake mode is accordingly fixed to
the RECIRC or FRESH.
¥ In the Manual Operation
Pressing the FRESH (fresh air intake) or the
RECIRC (room air circulation) accordingly selects
the FRESH or RECIRC mode.
¥ When the DEF Mode Switch is depressed
The intake mode is fixed to the FRESH. When
the MANU REC is selected, however, the mode
is fixed the RECIRC.
¥ When the Mode Switch is depressed
If the automatic intake control is selected, the
intake is fixed to the currently selected mode.5. Compressor Control
In the automatic control mode, the automatic
heater/air conditioner control unit turns on or off
the compressor with the evaporator anti-freeze
mechanism using the duct sensor. And, when
outside air is detected to be low through the
ambient sensor signal, the control unit turns off
the compressor using the compressor control
function.
¥ Manual Control
In the automatic control mode, pressing the A/C
(air conditioning) switch turns off the
compressor.
¥ Pressing the DEF mode switch automatically
turns on the compressor.

6. Heating Start Timing Control
When the automatic heater/air conditioner is
started, heating is turned on under following
conditions.
·The detected temperature of thermo unit is
136¡F or less.
·The temperature setting signal and the total
signal by each sensor meet the condition of
heating.
When the detected temperature by the coolant
temperature sensor is 136¡F or less the blower
fan motor is set to work at low speed and the
"DEF" mode is selected.
When the detected temperature by the coolant
temperature sensor is 77¡F or more, the blow
mode changes automatic control. And the
blower fan speed is controlled to be lineally up
from "LO" to "MAX HI".7. Cooling Start Timing Control
When the automatic heater/air conditioner is
started, cooling is turned on under following
conditions.
·The in car sensor is 86¡F or more.
·The temperature setting signal and the signals
from each sensor meet the specified condition.
The blower fan speed is set to "LO" for
maximum 7 seconds when cooling start
conditions meet, and then, is controlled to be
lineally up to "MAX HI" by 5.32%/S.

4B1±9 DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (SHIFT ON THE FLY)
Retrial
The motor actuator starts transfer gear shifting after
signal from 4WD switch on instrument panel has been
received. But the shifting may be impossible in cold
weather or under high speed condition. When 2 seconds
have passed since transfer gear shifting started and the
transfer position switch dose not turn on (the gear
engagement is not completed), the motor reverses its
rotation for 1.2 seconds and tries again to shift transfergear. This procedure is repeated 3 times in maximum.
While this procedure, 4WD indicator lamp blinks by 2 Hz.
If the transfer position switch does not turn on after
aforementioned procedure has been repeated 3 times,
the gear shifting is stopped and 4WD indicator lamp's
blinking changes from 2Hz to 4Hz to notify driver that the
gear shifting is stopped. This blinking of indicator lamp
continues until 4WD switch is returned from 4WD to 2WD.
