AIR CONDITIONING
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 82-17
Timed recirculated air
The timed recirculated air mode sets the inlet air source to recirculated air for 5 ± 1 minutes, after which it automatically
reverts to fresh air. Timed recirculated air can be manually selected:
lIn the automatic mode, by pressing the fresh/recirculated air switch for 1.5 seconds or more; the audible warning
sounds twice.
lIn the economy or defrost modes, by pressing the fresh/recirculated air switch for less than 1.5 seconds; the
audible warning sounds once.
Latched recirculated air
The inlet air source can be latched to recirculated air:
lIn the automatic mode, by pressing the fresh/recirculated air switch for less than 1.5 seconds; the audible
warning sounds once.
lIn the economy or defrost modes, by pressing the fresh/recirculated air switch for 1.5 seconds or more; the
audible warning sounds twice.
Blower control
The ATC ECU operates a blower relay, power transistor and power relay to run the blower at one of 31 stepped
speeds. All speed steps are available in the automatic modes of blower control. In the manual mode, speed steps 3,
10, 16, 22 and 31 are used to provide slow, three intermediate and fast blower speeds. The ATC ECU energises the
blower relay and modulates the power transistor to operate the blower for speed steps 1 to 30. For speed step 31, the
ATC ECU energises the power relay, which switches the earth side of the blower motor direct to earth, bypassing the
power transistor.
In the automatic, economy and defrost modes, blower speed is corrected for vehicle speed to compensate for the
increase in ram effect on the inlet air as the vehicle speed increases. Correction begins at approximately 50 km/h,
when blower speed is progressively decreased as vehicle speed increases, until a maximum decrease of 13 steps
occurs at 123 km/h. Similarly, blower speed increases as vehicle speed decreases down to approximately 50 km/h.
In the automatic and economy modes, if the LH or RH temperature is set to LO or HI, the blower runs at maximum
speed with correction only for vehicle speed. If both the LH and RH outlet air temperatures are set to a specific
temperature, blower speed corrections are added to compensate for the heater coolant temperature, external air
temperature, and the solar load acting on the vehicle:
lDuring warm-up, the blower speed is set to 3 while the heater coolant temperature is below approximately 20 °C
(68 °F). From approximately 20 °C (68 °F), the blower speed is progressively increased as the coolant
temperature increases, until maximum speed is set at approximately 50 °C (122 °F).
lDuring cool down, blower speed is set to 3, for 5 seconds after the system is switched on. Over the following 6
seconds, the blower speed is progressively increased up to maximum speed.
lAs the temperature in the cabin approaches the selected temperatures, blower speed is progressively reduced
until, once the selected temperatures have been established, blower speed stabilises at approximately 6.
lSolar heating correction is employed when air distribution is set to face level or to face and footwells. The
correction progressively increases the blower speed, up to a maximum of 9 steps, with increasing values of solar
heating.

82-18DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Air distribution control
To control the air distribution within the cabin the ATC ECU signals the servo motor controlling the distribution flaps
in the heater assembly to move to the flaps to the appropriate position.
In the automatic and economy modes, if the LH or RH temperature selections are set to LO or HI, air distribution is
fixed as follows:
lIf one is set to LO and one is set to a specific temperature, to face level only.
lIf one is set to HI and one is set to a specific temperature, to footwells only.
lIf one is set to LO and one is set to HI, to face level and footwells.
When specific LH and RH temperature selections are set, air distribution is determined from the target air outlet
temperatures. For higher target air outlet temperatures, air distribution is set to footwells only. For lower target air
outlet temperatures, air distribution is set to face level only. For intermediate target air outlet temperatures, air
distribution is set to face level and footwells. When the air distribution is set to face level and footwells, the ATC ECU
varies the bias between the footwells and the face level outlets, in three stages, to provide a gradual transition of air
distribution from footwells only to face level only. The three stages of bias are also employed when the air distribution
is manually selected to face level and footwells.
During warm-up, the air distribution changes to face level and footwells for a period, then reverts to footwells only.
The period of air distribution at face level and footwells can be cancelled by pressing and holding the on/off and defrost
mode switches, then turning the ignition switch from off to on. Pressing and holding the AUTO and defrost switches,
then turning the ignition switch from off to on, restores the period of air distribution at face level and footwells.
Compressor control
To engage the compressor clutch, the ATC ECU outputs a compressor clutch request to the ECM, which then
energises the A/C compressor clutch relay. Compressor operation is governed by the evaporator outlet air
temperature, at one of two settings, dependent on the amount of cooling required. When more cooling is required, the
compressor clutch request is output if evaporator outlet air temperature increases to 4 °C (39 °F) and cancelled when
it decreases to 3 °C (37 °F). When less cooling is required, the compressor clutch request is output if evaporator outlet
air temperature increases to 11 °C (52 °F) and cancelled when it decreases to 10 °C (50 °F).
Engine cooling fan control
While the A/C system is on, operation of the electric engine cooling fan, to assist refrigerant condenser operation, is
determined by a combination of vehicle speed and external air temperature. When cooling fan operation is required,
the ATC ECU outputs a cooling fan request to the ECM, which then energises the cooling fan relay. The cooling fan
request is output if vehicle speed is 80 km/h or less while the external air temperature is 28 °C (82 °F) or more. The
request is cancelled, and the cooling fan switched off, if either the vehicle speed increases to 100 km/h, or the external
air temperature decreases to 25 °C (77 °F).
Default settings
If the battery power supply to the ATC ECU is disrupted for any reason, e.g. battery disconnected, the system reverts
to default settings when the battery power supply is restored. Default settings are:
lTemperature indications in °C (in some markets a conversion connector is fitted to the ATC ECU to change the
default temperature scale to °F).
lLH and RH outlet temperatures of 22 °C (72 °F).
laudible warning switched on.
lWarm-up air distribution (to face level and footwells) function switched on.
lIf the system is first switched on using the A/C on/off switch, the automatic mode is engaged, regardless of the
settings in use when the battery was disconnected.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 82-19
Diagnostics
The ATC ECU performs a diagnostic check each time the ignition is switched on. To avoid nuisance fault indications
at low light levels, the sunlight sensor is omitted from the diagnostic check. If a fault is detected, the audible warning
sounds three times and the AUTO window on the control panel display flashes for 20 seconds. The ATC ECU then
reverts to normal control but uses a default value or strategy for the detected fault. Faults are identified by performing
a manual diagnostic check of the system.
A manual diagnostic check includes a check of the sunlight sensor, and is initiated by pressing and holding the AUTO
switch and the air distribution switch, then turning the ignition switch from off to on. The audible warning sounds once
and the indications on the control panel display illuminate. FC is shown in the LH temperature window and the results
of the check are shown as a two digit fault code in the RH temperature window. If a fault is detected, the audible
warning sounds three times and the AUTO window on the display flashes on and off for 20 seconds. If more than one
fault is detected, the fault codes cycle in numerical order, at 1 Hz. The audible warning sounds as each fault code is
shown. In low light conditions, to avoid false sunlight sensor fault indications, the sunlight sensor should be illuminated
with a strong light source.
