SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Intake door control system components are:
●Auto amp.
●Intake door motor (LCU)
●A/C LAN system (PBR built-in air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor)
●In-vehicle sensor
●Ambient sensor
●Sunload sensor
●Intake sensor
System Operation
The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends air mix door, mode door and
intake door motor opening angle data to the air mix door motor LCU, mode door motor LCU and intake door
motor LCU.
The air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amplifier and each of the motor posi-
tion sensors are compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subse-
quently, HOT/COLD or DEFROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The new
selection data is returned to the auto amplifier.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Intake Door Motor
The intake door motor is attached to the intake unit. It rotates so that
air is drawn from inlets set by the auto amplifier. Motor rotation is
conveyed to a lever which activates the intake door.

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).

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Blower Speed Compensation
Sunload
When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature are very close, the blower will be operating at low
speed. The low speed will vary depending on the sunload. During conditions of low or no sunload, the blower
low speed is usual low speed (approx. 4V). During high sunload conditions, the auto amp causes the blower
fan speed to increase.(Approx. 7V)
Fan Speed Control Specification
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Fan Control Amplifier
The fan control amplifier is located on the intake unit. The fan control
amp. receives a gate voltage from the auto amp. to steplessly main-
tain the blower fan motor voltage in the 4 to 12 volt range.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
SYMPTOM: Blower motor operation is malfunctioning under Starting
Fan Speed Control.
