●When installing rubber parts, final tightening must be carried out under unladen condition* with tires on
ground.
●Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushes. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats in designated positions.
●After installing removed suspension parts, check wheel alignment and adjust if necessary.
Observe the following precautions when disassembling and servicing drive shaft.
●Perform work in a location which is as dust-free and dirt-free as possible.
●Before disassembling and servicing, clean the outside of parts.
●Disassembly and service location must be taken to prevent the entry of foreign objects.
●Disassembled parts must be carefully reassembled in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean
cover must be placed over parts.
●Paper shop cloths must be used. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint adher-
ing to parts.
●Disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) should be cleaned with kerosene which shall be removed by
blowing with air or wiping with paper shop cloths.

FAN SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled based on temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With FAN switch set to AUTO, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake doors are automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle
temperature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON-OFF operation of the compressor.
OUTLET DOOR CONTROL
The outlet door is automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
The ECM controls compressor operation using input signals from the throttle position sensor and auto ampli-
fier.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The self-diagnostic system is built into the auto amplifier (LCU) to quickly locate the cause of malfunctions.
Overview of Control systemEJS000TK
The control system consists of input sensors, switches, the automatic amplifier (microcomputer) and outputs.
The relationship of these components is shown in the diagram below:

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Fan speed control system components are:
●Auto amp.
●A/C LAN system (PBR built-in air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor)
●Fan control amp.
●In-vehicle sensor
●Ambient sensor
●Sunload sensor
●Intake sensor
System Operation
Automatic Mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the automatic amplifier based on input from
the PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor.
The blower motor applied voltage ranges from approximately 4 volts (lowest speed) to 12 volts (highest
speed).
The control blower speed (in the range of 4 to 12V), the automatic amplifier supplies a gate voltage to the fan
control amplifier. Based on this voltage, the fan control amplifier controls the voltage supplied to the blower
motor.

Starting Fan Speed Control
Start Up From COLD SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 56°C, the blower will not operate for
a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay time varies depending on the ambient and
engine coolant temperature.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower starting delay will be 150 seconds as described
above. After this delay, the blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant temperature rises above
56°C, at which time the blower speed will increase to the objective speed.
Start Up From Normal or HOT SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the A/C button is pushed. The blower speed will gradually
rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).
