AIR CONDITIONING
82-12DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Control system
The control system operates the refrigerant system and the control flaps in the heater assembly to control the
temperature and distribution of air in the vehicle interior. It also outputs signals to the fresh/recirculated air servo motor
and the blower to control the volume and source of inlet air. The control system consists of:
lAn Air Temperature Control (ATC) ECU.
lA dual pressure switch.
lAn evaporator temperature sensor.
lAn in-car temperature sensor.
lA sunlight sensor.
lA heater coolant temperature sensor.
lAn ambient temperature sensor.
ATC ECU
The ATC ECU is installed in the centre of the fascia, below the radio. An integral control panel on the ATC ECU
contains switches for system control inputs and a LCD to provide system status information.
Inputs from sensors and the control panel switches are processed by the ATC ECU, which then outputs the
appropriate control signals.

AIR CONDITIONING
82-20DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Air distribution control
To control the air distribution within the cabin the ATC ECU signals the servo motor controlling the distribution flaps
in the heater assembly to move to the flaps to the appropriate position.
In the automatic and economy modes, if the LH or RH temperature selections are set to LO or HI, air distribution is
fixed as follows:
lIf one is set to LO and one is set to a specific temperature, to face level only.
lIf one is set to HI and one is set to a specific temperature, to footwells only.
lIf one is set to LO and one is set to HI, to face level and footwells.
When specific LH and RH temperature selections are set, air distribution is determined from the target air outlet
temperatures. For higher target air outlet temperatures, air distribution is set to footwells only. For lower target air
outlet temperatures, air distribution is set to face level only. For intermediate target air outlet temperatures, air
distribution is set to face level and footwells. When the air distribution is set to face level and footwells, the ATC ECU
varies the bias between the footwells and the face level outlets, in three stages, to provide a gradual transition of air
distribution from footwells only to face level only. The three stages of bias are also employed when the air distribution
is manually selected to face level and footwells.
During warm-up, the air distribution changes to face level and footwells for a period, then reverts to footwells only.
The period of air distribution at face level and footwells can be cancelled by pressing and holding the on/off and defrost
mode switches, then turning the ignition switch from off to on. Pressing and holding the AUTO and defrost switches,
then turning the ignition switch from off to on, restores the period of air distribution at face level and footwells.
Compressor control
To engage the compressor clutch, the ATC ECU outputs a compressor clutch request to the ECM, which then
energises the A/C compressor clutch relay. Compressor operation is governed by the evaporator outlet air
temperature, at one of two settings, dependent on the amount of cooling required. When more cooling is required, the
compressor clutch request is output if evaporator outlet air temperature increases to 4
°C (39 °F) and cancelled when
it decreases to 3
°C (37 °F). When less cooling is required, the compressor clutch request is output if evaporator outlet
air temperature increases to 11
°C (52 °F) and cancelled when it decreases to 10 °C (50 °F).
Engine cooling fan control
While the A/C system is on, operation of the electric engine cooling fan, to assist refrigerant condenser operation, is
determined by a combination of vehicle speed and external air temperature. When cooling fan operation is required,
the ATC ECU outputs a cooling fan request to the ECM, which then energises the cooling fan relay. The cooling fan
request is output if vehicle speed is 80 km/h or less while the external air temperature is 28
°C (82 °F) or more. The
request is cancelled, and the cooling fan switched off, if either the vehicle speed increases to 100 km/h, or the external
air temperature decreases to 25
°C (77 °F).
Default settings
If the battery power supply to the ATC ECU is disrupted for any reason, e.g. battery disconnected, the system reverts
to default settings when the battery power supply is restored. Default settings are:
lTemperature indications in
°C (in some markets a conversion connector is fitted to the ATC ECU to change the
default temperature scale to
°F).
lLH and RH outlet temperatures of 22
°C (72 °F).
laudible warning switched on.
lWarm-up air distribution (to face level and footwells) function switched on.
lIf the system is first switched on using the A/C on/off switch, the automatic mode is engaged, regardless of the
settings in use when the battery was disconnected.
AIR CONDITIONING
82-26DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The rear evaporator/blower assembly cools and dehumidifies air from the cabin and supplies it to the rear distribution
system. The unit is installed on the left side of the loadspace, behind the quarter trim. A grille in the quarter trim allows
air to flow from the loadspace into the evaporator/blower. Refrigerant lines for the evaporator and a condensate drain
tube are attached to the rear floor.
The evaporator and blower are installed in a common housing, which also incorporates the resistor pack for the
blower. A thermostatic expansion valve is integrated into the inlet refrigerant line. A rear blower relay is attached to
the top of the housing.
Evaporator
The evaporator absorbs heat from the recirculated air being supplied to the distribution ducts.
Thermostatic expansion valve
The thermostatic expansion valve meters the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator to match the heat load of the air
passing through the evaporator matrix. A capillary tube, attached to the outlet pipe of the evaporator and connected
to the thermostatic expansion valve, automatically adjusts the valve opening in relation to the refrigerant temperature
at the evaporator outlet.
Blower
The blower controls the volume of air being supplied to the distribution outlets. The blower is an open hub, centrifugal
fan powered by an electric motor. A dust filter is installed over the fan inlet. The blower switch on the control panel
and the resistor pack control the operation of the blower, which can be selected to run at one of four speeds.
Resistor pack
The resistor pack supplies reduced voltages to the blower motor for blower speeds 1, 2 and 3. For blower speed 4,
the resistor pack is bypassed and battery voltage drives the motor at full speed. The pack is installed in the air outlet
from the blower fan, so that any heat generated is dissipated by the air flow.
Distribution system
Air ducts
Ducts connected to the rear evaporator/blower motor assembly distribute air to five vent assemblies in the roof.
Vent assemblies
The vent assemblies allow occupants to control the flow and direction of air. Each vent assembly incorporates a
thumbwheel to regulate flow and moveable vanes to control direction.
Rear control system
The control system operates the blower to control the operation of the rear A/C. The control system consists of two
control switches and a rear blower relay.
Control switches
A rear A/C switch and a blower speed switch are installed on a control panel in the roof lining. The A/C switch is a
latching pushswitch with an amber indicator lamp which illuminates when rear A/C is selected on. The blower speed
switch is a slide switch with a positive detent at each of four speed positions (there is no off position).
Rear blower relay
The rear blower relay controls the electrical supply to the blower.
