Sun Sensor
It is a photodiode used for detecting quantity of solar
radiation. This sensor converts the offset signal
generated by changes in the interior temperature (which
results from fluctuations in solar radiation) into
photoelectric current to enter into the automatic air
conditioner control unit.
This sensor is provided at top of the center cluster upper.

Power Transistor
Receiving base current from the automatic air conditioner
control unit, the power transistor implements stage-less
speed change of the blower fan motor. This transistor is
provided on the evaporator.

Max Hi Relay
This relay turned on or off by the signal from the automatic
air conditioner control unit. As the Max Hi relay is turned
on, supply voltage is directly fed to the blower fan motor to
select the Max Hi mode.

Movement of Mix Actuator
Position of the air mix door is determined by the controller
on the automatic air conditioner control unit.
As the heat or cool side of the controller is grounded, the
transistor on the driver is activated and, thus, the motor
rotation is turned on. The sliding contact connected to the
motor sends the position detection signal from the
potentiometer to the automatic air conditioner control
unit. As the set temperature and interior temperature are
balanced, the controller returns to the neutral and the
motor rotation is stopped.

Movement of Mode Actuator
As target position of the mode door is decided on the
controller of the control unit, the control unit reads the
position detection signal from the actuator to select the
clockwise or counter clockwise motor rotation direction.
Grounding the controller VENT or DEF side after the
direction selection activates the transistor on the driver,
thus turning on the motor rotation. Accompanying the
motor rotation, the sliding contact rotates, too. When the
target position is reached, the controller on the control
unit returns to the neutral and the motor stops.

Interior Temperature Control
When the temperature control switch is set to a specific
temperature, a signal is sent to the A/C control unit. Other
signals are sent to the control unit from the various
sensors. This data is analyzed by the control unit which
creates a composite data signal that is compared with the
signal received from the potentiometer. The result
determines the direction of mix actuator rotation.
The mix actuator reacts to the composite air mix door
opening angle signal. Opening angle is increased or
decreased to maintain the temperature at the selected
level.
When the compressor is off, the air mix door moves
toward the COOL side. When the compressor turns on,
the temperature of the air being discharged from the
outlet vents is regulated.
When the temperature control is set to 18
C (65
F), the
air mix door moves to the FULL COOL position. When the
control is set to 32
C (90
F), the door moves to the FULL
HOT position.
In the VENT position, the air mix door moves from FULL
COOL to a 60% aperture. This prevents hot air from being
discharged into the vehicle.

Air Flow Control
In the Auto Mode

Automatic operation
When the AUTO switch or the DEF switch is pressed, a
signal indicating the forced air volume is sent to the A/C
auto-control unit. Other signals are sent to the control
unit from the various sensors. This data is analyzed by
the control unit which creates a composite data signal.
Based on this signal, the base voltage of the power
transistor is varied to change the blower voltage. This
results in a non-stepped change in blower motor
speed.
When the temperature control switch is set to either
18
C (65
F) or 32
C (90
F), blower motor speed is in
the MAX-HI mode.
In the Manual Mode

Manual operation
When the fan switch is manually set to a specified air
volume, a signal is sent to the A/C auto-control-unit. In
response to this signal, the auto-control unit controls
the blower voltage.
When the fan switch is set to HI, the max-hi relay
operates to increase blower motor speed to the
MAX-HI mode.
