LO demands the maximum COOLING performance from the system with the blowers operating automatically at maximum
speed.
HI demands the maximum HEATING performance from the system with the blowers operating automatically at maximum
speed.
Pressing and holding either temperature selection button co ntinuously changes the setting temperature by steps of 1°,
every 0.4 seconds.
• NOTE: The interior temperature does not change when the temperature scale is changed between Celsius and Fahrenheit,
however the temperature display will chan ge to the nearest equivalent number.
Examples:
17C 61F 17C 66F 19C 66F
• NOTE: When operating in HI or LO mode and the AUTO butt on is pressed, the system will adopt the nearest automatic
control temperature setting:
LO AUTO DISPLAY INDICATES 17° C or 61° F HI AUTO DISPLAY INDICATES 31° C or 90° F
• NOTE: When switching the system on us ing the AUTO button, the system will display the previous temperature setting,
except under the following conditions:
LO, system OFF, auto display indicates 17° C or 61° F HI, system OFF, auto display indicates 31° C or 90° F
17. 17. Face
Pressing this button will direct all airflow to the center and side face vents only; pressing again will return the system to
automatic control mode.
• NOTE: When in AUTO mode and in a hot c limate, a bleed of cold air is delivered to foot level. This bleed automatically
shuts off when the inte rior temperature has cooled sufficiently.
18. 18. Bi-Level
This push-on / push-off button will direct air to the center and side face vent s and the front footwells. Pressing the button
(off) will return the system to automatic control mode.
19. 19. Foot
This push-on / push-off button will direct the majority of airflow to the front footwells with a small bleed of air to the fron t
and side screens. Pressing the button (off) will return the system to automatic control mode.
20. 20. Demist
Pressing this button will direct air to the front and side screens and the front foot wells. Pressing the button (off) will return
the system to automatic control mode.

Parts List
Air temperature from the centre (and EOD) vents is slightly cooler than the foot outlets; however this temperature cannot
be varied independently.
The EOD vents, not shown, feature similar controls.
Automatic Operation
Initial setting
Should a new A/CCM be fitted, it will 'power-up' in the OFF mode; switching ON will result in the following settings:
After initial start up the system operating conditions will be st ored in the A/CCM to the conditions which prevailed prior to
ignition OFF.

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
Sensors and Controls
Solar Sensor
Page 1829 of 2490

The solar sensor is mounted on the top surface of the fascia between the defrost outlets.
The sensor is a photo-diode which is calibr ated to measure direct sunlight. It provides an output signal to the A/CCM which
automatically reduces air temperature an d increases fan speed (airflow volume) to compensate for solar heating.
Evaporator Sensor
This thermistor device changes electrical resistance as a result of temperature variations.
The sensor is positioned next to the evaporator fins and measures air temper ature after it has passed through the
evaporator. The sensor inputs a signal to the A/CCM which controls the compress or (see table) when the refrigeration
system is operating.
The sensor's connector is located on the LH side of the air conditioning unit, in front of the main power connector.
The A/CCM disengages the compressor clutch when the temperature of the air off the evaporator is 2° C or less. This is to
prevent the moisture which may collect between the cooling fins of the evaporator from freezing and thus restricting airflow.

Page 1830 of 2490

The heater matrix temperature sensor is a thermistor which changes its electrical resistance in response to changes in air
temperature converting a temperature rating to an electrical signal.
The sensor connector is located on the RH SIDE of the air conditioning unit. The sensor bead is located inside the unit down-
stream from the heater matrix and measures the 'post-heater' air temperature, before the air is distribu ted to the cabin The
sensor provides a signal to the A/CCM which adjusts the duty ratio of the water valve to provide the required air
temperature from the heater.
Ambient Temperature Sensor
The sensor is a thermistor which changes its electrical resistance in response to changes in air temperature, converting a
temperature rating to an electrical signal.
The ambient temperature sensor measures exterior air temper ature and is mounted on the crossbeam, in front of the
condenser on the LH side.
The signal from the ambient sensor allo ws the A/CCM to compensate for the ambient conditions and to display the
information on the control panel - updated every four (4) seconds.
Sensor response is 'damped' by the A/CCM and ther efore does not appear to react to temperature chan
ges as quickly as the
Page 1831 of 2490

other sensors. This feature prevents the effects of sudden changes in air outlet temperatures due to factors such as:
Recirculating air from the engine cooling pack at low vehicle speeds Sudden changes in ambient temperature The effects of water splash
Motorised In-car Aspirator.
An intake grille (mounted on the fascia , outboard of the steering column and below the EOD vent) houses the aspirator
thermister. The remotely mounted motor / fan assembly draws ca bin air through the grille and thus over the thermistor; a
flexible hose connects both components.
The electrical resistance of the thermistor changes in response to variations in air temperatur e, this change being converted
into an electrical signal. The A/CCM uses this signal to adjust the temperature, airflow and air distribution from the air
conditioning unit.
Coolant Temperature Signal.
This signal is supplied to the A/CCM from the instrument cluster, the input being required to:
Provide blower inhibit control , to avoid the system in heat ing mode delivering cold air when the coolant temperature is below 35°C unless DEFROST is selected. To progressively increase the fan speed up to maximum blower speed during warm up control. To assist in the control of the outlet temperature. To avoid possible pump or valve damage ca used by ice particles in the coolant.
Compressor ON Signal.
This signal monitors the compressor relay to confirm the compressor operating state and so provide relevant fault
information.
Servo Motor Control.
Flap position, which directs the flow of air through the system, is controlled by servo motors; these may be driven in either
a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction by signals from the A/ CCM. Motor, thus flap position, is monitored via a feedback
potentiometer which is situated within the motor housing.
Servo motors control the following flaps:

Blower Motor Control.
The A/CCM controls the speed of two blower motors which deliver airflow to the air conditioning unit. The blower motors are
regulated by power transistor modules which pr ovide a linear variation of blower speed.
Filter Compensation
Where particle filters are fitted as 'after market' items the A/CCM program must be changed to allow higher AUTO blower
speeds; this compensates for the slight loss of air flow. Access to the program is by PDU.
Vehicles with filters fitted OEM will have this facility enabled by Jaguars Cars Ltd.
