1.GENERAL
a. The air conditioning system has the following features:
In compliance with the temperature set at the temperature control switch, the neural network
control calculates the outlet temperature based on the input signals from various sensors. In
addition, corrections in accordance with the signals from the evaporative temperature sensor
and the water temperature sensor are added to control the outlet air temperature.
Controls the front and rear blower motors in accordance with the airflow volume that has
been calculated by the neural network control based on the input signals from various
sensors.
Automatically switches the outlets in accordance with the outlet mode ratio that has been
calculated by the neural network control based on the input signals from various sensors.
Automatically controls the air inlet control damper in accordance with the airflow volume
that has been calculated by the neural network control.
Turns the compressor on/off and controls the discharge capacity based on the signals from
various sensors.
Based on the signals from the ambient temperature sensor, this control calculates the outside
temperature, which is then corrected in the air conditioner ECU, and shown in the multi-
information display in the combination meter.
Switched the rear defogger and outside rear view mirror heaters on for 15 minutes when the
rear defogger switch is switched on. Switched them off if the switch is pressed while they are
operating.
Controls the orientation and the angle of the front center register based on the input signals
from various sensors and on the outlet mode.
Determines whether the clean air filter (for the front A/C) is clogged by monitoring the air
inlets, and airflow volume.
The A/C amplifier automatically controls the air inlets based on the signals from the smog
ventilation sensor.
Improves the air quality by linking the air inlet control damper and the blower motor (for the
rear A/C and air purifier), based on the signals from the exhaust gas sensor and the smoke
sensor.
Checks the sensors in accordance with operation of the air conditioner switches.

HINT:
*1 If the room temperature is approximately -20°C (-4°F) or lower, DTC B1411/11 may be output even
though the system is normal.
*2 If the ambient temperature is approximately -50°C (-58°F) or lower, a DTC may be output even
though the system is normal.
*3 If the check is being performed in a dark place, DTC B1421/21 (solar sensor circuit abnormal) could
be displayed. In this case, perform DTC check again while shining a light, such as inspection light, on the
solar sensor. If DTC B1421/21 is still displayed, there could be trouble in the solar sensor circuit.
*4 If the check is being performed in a dark place, DTC B1424/24 (solar sensor circuit abnormal) could
be displayed. In this case, perform DTC check again while shining a light, such as inspection light, on the
solar sensor. If DTC B1424/24 is still displayed, there could be trouble in the solar sensor circuit.
*5 If the check is being performed in a dark place, DTC B1421/21 (solar sensor circuit abnormal) could
be displayed. In this case, perform DTC check again while shining a light, such as inspection light, on the
solar sensor. If DTC B1421/21 is still displayed, there could be trouble in the solar sensor circuit.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the interior temperature that is used as the basis for temperature control and sends
appropriate signals to the A/C amplifier.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The pressure switch sends the appropriate signals to the A/C amplifier when the A/C refrigerant pressure drops
too low or rises too high.
When the A/C amplifier receives these signals, the compressor does not compress refrigerant.
