Introduction
The automatic temperature control (ATC) system provides automatic regulation of the discharged air tem-
perature and the discharged air volume (Blower speed).
The air outlet door, intake door and compressor magnet clutch are controlled by the manual operation of
each switch.
Features
Air mix door control (Automatic temperature control)
The air mix door is automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature will reach, and be maintained at
the operator selected ªset temperatureº. For a given set temperature, the air mix door position will depend
on: Ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature, amount of sunload, set temperature and A/C switch sig-
nals.
Fan speed control
When the fan control switch is in the Auto position, the blower speed is automatically controlled, depending
on: Ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature, amount of sunload, set temperature, and A/C switch sig-
nals. It is also controlled by the manual operation of the fan control switch.
Starting fan speed control
When engine coolant temperature is low, the air outlet door position is detected by the A/C control panel
and if this is set in B/L, FOOT or FOOT/DEF blower speed is controlled to prevent a large amount of cold
air from being discharged into the floor area.
Outlet door control
This can be selected by operation of the mode control knob.
Intake door control
This can be selected by changing the REC switch position.
Compressor magnet clutch control
System with CR-14 compressor
When the A/C switch is ON, the thermistor detects evaporator temperature. The thermo control amplifier
controls clutch ON/OFF operation depending on the evaporator temperature.
System with CSV613 compressor
Under normal operating conditions, when the A/C is switched on, the compressor runs continuously, and the
evaporator pressure, and therefore temperature, is controlled by the CSV613 variable displacement com-
pressor to prevent freeze up.
DESCRIPTIONAUTO
HA-20
STARTING FAN SPEED CONTROL
The starting fan control system is so designed to prevent excess cold air from being expelled after the engine
is started when the engine coolant temperature is low.
The component parts related to this system are the water temperature sensor microswitch, HI, MH, ML and
LO relays, blower motor, resistance and auto amplifier.
When the fan switch is set to AUTO, the mode is selected either B/L, FOOT or FOOT/DEF and the engine
coolant temperature is below 56ÉC (133ÉF), the speed of the blower motor is fixed in the LO position.
LO, ML, MH AND HI RELAYS
The LO and ML relays are located on the auto amplifier bracket,
and the MH and HI relays are installed on the back side of the
audio unit. Each fan relay operates according to the air flow vol-
ume determined by the auto amplifier. The blower motor then
operates accordingly.
