Engine speed (valve closed with the engine not running) Demand (set) temperature In-car temperature sensor Solar sensor
Re-heating of the refrigerated air is contro lled by the time that the water valve is open (i.e. not energised) over a six secon d
interval. The duty cycle of the water valve, the time open / time closed, is controlled by the A/CCM.
Maximum heating demand will cause the water valve to be fu lly open (not energised) to allow maximum coolant flow
through the heater matrix.
At Maximum cooling, the water va lve will be fully closed (energised) to prevent hot (engine temperature) coolant entering
the heater circuit; the pump however will continue to circulate coolant through both the heater matrix and water valve
bypass.
The water valve defaults open when the ignition is OFF.
Under engine stall conditions, when ignition is ON, the water valve will be open.
Water Pump Assembly
Located in the same area as the water valve, the water pump continually circulates coolant through the heater matrix
except when the conditions below apply:
The engine coolant is below 16°C. The ignition is OFF. Under engine stall conditions, when ignition is ON. Control panel OFF
Non return valves
The heater bypass hose has a non-return valve, located between the engine feed and return hoses. The valve prevents the
water pump from recirculating coolant fro m the heater at low engine speeds.
The flow indicator arrow embossed on the valve bo dy MUST point towards the coolant header tank.
CAUTION: Coolant flow will be compromi sed if either valve is fitted incorrectly. Observe the correct direction.
A second non-return valve is located betw een the water pump and water valve. This valve prevents hot coolant from flowing
into the heater with the engine switched off. The flow indicator arrow MUST point towards the water pump.
Heater feed and return hoses
The heater feed and return hoses are connected to the engine feed and return hoses by 'Quick-Fit' connection unions. The
feed hose has a Norma R20 connector and the return hose a Norma push and seal connector. The coolant system bleed
joints have Cobra clamps. All remaining hose connections have spring band hose clamps.
The engine feed hose is connected to the engine bypass hous ing and the engine return hose is connected to the engine
water pump.

Major Components

Parts List
The air conditioning unit houses the evap orator, heater matrix and their temperatur e sensors. The unit also incorporates
two servo motor operated air distribution flaps which regulate airflow to the front and rear footwells and the quantity of
airflow through the cool air bypass (air which by-passes he ater matrix) up to the upper air distribution box (ADB).
When the footwell flap is open, air is du cted to the front and rear footwell areas via the lower air distribution duct (LADD)
and appropriate ducts. The LADD is clipped to the bottom of the air conditioning unit case an d the front foot ducts clipped
onto the outlets of the LADD.
Condensate (water) which forms on the evaporator fins is drained out of the unit case through two drains, located either
side of the unit underneath the evaporator. The liquid is routed to the vehicle exterior via flexible tubes which are located
behind the firewa ll heatshield.

Control Components - Control Components
Description and Operation
System Controls
The climate control system is controlled by : 1. 1. Manual input from the operator, via the center console located control panel.
2. 2. Automatically by means of the A/CCM.
Output is based upon input from the following devices:
Motorized In-car aspirator External air temperature sensor Coolant temperature sensor Heater 'air-off' (the temperature of the air leaving the matrix fins) temperature sensor Evaporator 'air-off' (the temperature of the air leaving the evaporator fins) temperature sensor Solar sensor Left hand blower recirculation / fresh air flap potentiometer Right hand blower recirculation / fresh air flap potentiometer Upper air distribution box (ADB) center and side face flap servomotor potentiometer ADB defrost flap servomotor potentiometer Air conditioning unit Foot flap servomotor potentiometer Air conditioning unit Cool Air Bypass flap servomotor potentiometer Thumbwheel controls on the facia vent assemblies which provide manu al adjustment of the airflow volume. Road and engine speed signals input to the A/CCM
Climate Control Panel
Communication between the control panel and the A/CCM is via a serial data communications link.

Switching the Climate Control system ON
The climate control system can be switched ON by pressing one of the following :
Ref #1 On / Off (resumes the system on in the previous settings).
Ref #10 A / C (resumes the system on in the previous settings).
Ref #11 AUTO (resumes the system on at the previous temperature setting).

Maximum Cooling (temperature setting LO)
Air Conditioning Control Module (A/CCM)
Location

The A/CCM is located on the right hand side of the air conditioning unit and controls all system functions.
The temperature within the passenger compartment is continually compared with the temperature selected on the control
panel LCD. The A/CCM receives data input signals and compares these with signal s from the system temperature sensors
and feedback devices. Based on this information the A/CCM adjusts the air outlet temperatur e, airflow and distribution from
the air conditioning system in to the passenger compartment.

Inputs / Outputs
1.1. Engine speed:
Input to the A/CCM from the ECM. Heated windshield and backli ght will be inhibited when engine speed < 50 RPM.
2. 2. Vehicle speed:
Input from the instru ment cluster. Blower speed control to minimise the effects of ram ai r. Road speed compensation is inhibited when maximum
cooling LO, or maximum heating HI, is selected; also inhi bited in defrost mode with airflow set to maximum.
Used to determine the frequency at which the exterior temperature display is updated.
3. 3. Coolant temperature (signal derived from ECM via instrument cluster):
Input from the heater matrix temperature sensor used to control water valve and thus vent temperatures. Used to monitor the temperature of coolant at the heater matrix to assist the control of air outlet temperature. Used to inhibit the blowers when heating is selected and the engine coolant temperature is below 30°C. Is used to provide progressive increase in blower speed up to 60°C. To inhibit the water valve and pump when the coolant temperature is = < 10°C
