DESCRIPTION
Slight variations exist among manual A/C-heater systems used.
On Montero, a Nippondenso 10-cylinder compressor is used. Cycling of
compressor clutch is controlled by an automatic A/C Control Unit
(ACCU).
Compressors will only operate within normal temperatures and
pressures set for each model. An electric condenser fan operates
whenever A/C system is operating. System components may vary depending
upon model. Systems may include an ACCU, fan switch, evaporator,
temperature sensor, dual-pressure switch, engine coolant temperature
switch, compressor, condenser, receiver-drier and various pipes and
hoses.
OPERATION
A/C CONTROL UNIT (ACCU)
ACCU controls cycling of compressor clutch based on
information received from air thermosensor and air inlet sensor, dual-
pressure switch, A/C switch and A/C engine coolant temperature switch.
ACCU is attached to top of evaporator housing.
A/C SWITCH
When turned on, the A/C system will operate if blower motor
control lever is in a position other than OFF. When activated, A/C
switch allows A/C compressor clutch to engage and operate the
compressor.
A/C ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SWITCH
The A/C engine coolant temperature switch, located on
thermostat housing, is wired in series with compressor clutch. When
coolant temperature is greater than switch control temperature, power
to compressor is cut and compressor is turned off until temperature
returns to operating range. Switch will turn on at 226
F (108C) and
off at 235-243F (112-118C).
AIR SELECTOR LEVER
The lever moves horizontally to select source of air used
inside passenger compartment. Lever moves from position on left
(outside air mode) to position on right (recirculated air mode). Lev\
er
should be set in recirculated air mode for maximum A/C cooling.
BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL SWITCH
Blower motor control switch rotates to select blower motor
speeds. As switch is rotated from left or OFF position, increasing
speeds of blower operation are selected. In order for A/C system to
operate, blower motor control switch must be in a position other than
OFF.
MODE SELECTOR KNOB
Mode selector knob has six modes available to achieve desired
distribution of air from various outlets. When knob is rotated fully
to left (counterclockwise), airflow is directed to upper passenger
area. In second position (clockwise), airflow is directed to upper
passenger area and slightly to leg area. Position 3, directs air
mostly to leg area and slightly to upper passenger area. Position 4,
directs air exclusively to leg area. Position 5, directs air to leg
area and to windshield and door windows. Position 6, directs air
exclusively to windshield and door windows.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB
Temperature control knob operates blend-air door in
heater/air conditioning unit, mixing cooled and heated air so that
selected air temperature can be obtained. The system will provide
cooled air when A/C switch is in ON position and blower motor is in
any position other than OFF. Temperature control knob should be on far
left (maximum cooling) side of temperature selection scale when
maximum A/C cooling is desired.
DUAL-PRESSURE SWITCH
The dual-pressure switch, mounted on receiver-drier, is wired
in series with compressor clutch. Whenever system pressures drop below
or increase above control points of switch, power supplied to
compressor will be cut and compressor function will cease until
pressures are back to normal operating ranges.
