HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC)

Compressor Control
In the automatic control mode, the automatic air
conditioner control unit turns on or off the compressor
with the evaporator anti-freeze mechanism using the
evaporation sensor. And, when outside air is detected to
be low through the outside air temperature sensor signal,
the control unit turns off the compressor using the
compressor control function.
Manual Control
In the automatic control mode, pressing the A/C (air
conditioning) switch turns off the compressor.
Pressing the DEF mode switch automatically turns on
the compressor.

Heater Start-up Control
Heater start-up control occurs when the air discharge
mode is in the BI=LEVEL, FOOT, or DEF/FOOT position
and the heater core temperature is less than 14C (58F).
Air discharge volume remains in the AUTO LO mode until
the engine coolant temperature rises above 14C (58F).
The volume then increases in linear increments to the
pre-set level.
840R200010
Cooler Start-up Control
When cooler operation is started with the air discharge
mode is in the VENT or B/L position and the in-car
temperature higher than 26C (78F) (detected by the
in-car sensor), cooler start-up control occurs.
For the first 7 seconds of cooler operation, the fan
remains OFF. It then switches to AUTO LO. Air discharge
volume then increases in linear increments to the pre-set
level.
Cooler start-up control occurs the first time the engine is
started or the cooler switch is moved from OFF to AUTO.
It will not occur during subsequent switch movements.

System Components
Control Unit, 3 Vertical G-sensors, Lateral G-sensor, 4
Actuators, 4 Adjustable Damping Force Shock
Absorbers, and Warning Lamp.
Control Unit
The Control Unit consists of Adjustable Damping Force
Shock Absorber control circuits, fault detector, and a
fail-safe. It drives the actuator according to the signal
from each sensor.
The Control Unit has a self-diagnosing function which can
indicate faulty circuits during diagnosis.
The Control Unit is mounted in the center of the
instrument panel.
Actuator
Front actuators installed on front shock absorbers and
rear actuator installed inside rear shock absorbers control
damping force of shock absorber by the Control Unit
signal.
Adjustable Damping Force Shock
Absorber
This type shock absorber is used in front and rear
intelligent suspension. According to running condition the
Control Unit changes shock absorber damping force and
obtains good running stability.
Warning Lamp
821R200011Vehicles equipped with the Intelligent Suspension Control
have an amber warning lamp in the instrument panel. The
warning lamp will illuminate if a malfunction in the
Intelligent Suspension Control is detected by the Control
Unit. In case of an important electronic malfunction, the
Control Unit will turnªONº the warning lamp.
INTELLIGENT SUSPENSION3F±5
Vertical G-Sensor
Front G-sensors installed inside front actuators and the
rear G-sensor installed on the rear left frame side detect
the vehicle vertical gravity and send a signal to the Control
Unit.
Lateral G-Sensor
The G-sensor installed inside the Control Unit detects the
vehicle turning speed and sends a signal to the Control
Unit.

General Diagnosis
General Information
Intelligent Suspension Control troubles can be classified
into two types, those which can be detected by the
warning lamp and those which can be detected as a
vehicle abnormality by the driver.
In either case, locate the fault in accordance with
theªBASIC DIAGNOSTIC FLOWCHARTº and repair.
Please refer to
Section 3 for the diagnosis of mechanical
troubles such as abnormal noise, vehicle pulls, excessive
tire wear, wheel hop and shimmy, shake or vibration.
Service Precautions
Required Tools and Items:
Box Wrench
Special Tool
Some diagnosis procedures in this section require the
installation of a special tool.
J-39200 High Impedance Multimeter
When circuit measurements are requested, use a
circuit tester with high impedance.
Computer System Service Precautions
The Intelligent Suspension Control interfaces directly
with the Control Unit which is a control computer that is
similar in some regards to the Powertrain Control Module.
These modules are designed to withstand normal current
draws associated with vehicle operation. However care
must be taken to avoid overloading any of the Control Unit
circuits. In testing for opens or shorts, do not ground or
apply voltage to any of the circuits unless instructed to do
so by the appropriate diagnostic procedure. These
circuits should only be tested with a high impedance
multimeter (J-39200) or special tools as described in this
section. Power should never be removed or applied to
any control module with the ignition in the ªONº
position.Before removing or connecting battery cables,
fuses or connectors, always turn the ignition switch to
theªOFFº position.
General Service Precautions
The following are general precautions which should be
observed when servicing and diagnosing the Intelligent
Suspension Control and/or other vehicle systems. Failure
to observe these precautions may result in Intelligent
Suspension Control damage.
If welding work is to be performed on the vehicle using
an electric arc welder, the Control Unit connectors
should be disconnected before the welding operation
begins.
The Control Unit connectors should never be
connected or disconnected with the ignitionªONº.
Parts Handling
Be careful when handling the actuator, control unit, or
G-sensor. They should not be dropped or thrown,
because the semi-conductor G-sensor tip damage may
result.

DTC3 Actuator Coil/Position Sensor Open Circuit or Short
Circuit Description
The A, B, C, and D are the actuator motor coil terminals.
DC 12V driving voltage is applied between terminals A
and C and terminals B and D so that the shock absorber
oil valves are rotated at every 7.5 step feed.
The PSW is actuator position signal and detects relative
angles between the piston±rod and the control-rod. The
actuator outputs the PSW to the control unit.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections
between the control unit 16 way connector and the
actuator connectors. Look for possible bent, backed
out, deformed, or damaged terminals. Check for
weak terminal tension as well.
Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare
metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside
the insulation.
When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

DTC6 Stop Lamp Switch Open Circuit or Short
Circuit Description
The brake switch is used to indicate brake pedal status.
The normally opened brake switch signal voltage circuit is
opened.
Brake switch supplies a B+ signal on circuit RED to the
control unit when the brakes are applied. The control unit
uses this signal to work dive control when the brakes are
applied.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at
the control unit and brake switch. Look for possible
bent, backed out, deformed or damaged terminals.
Check for weak terminal tension as well. Also check
for a chafed wire that could short to bare metal or
other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside the
insulation.
When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
