Overview Air Conditioner LAN Control SystemEJS001Z5
The LAN system consists of auto amp., mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor.
A configuration of these components is shown in the diagram below.
System ConstructionEJS001Z6
A small network is constructed between the auto amplifier, air mix door motor and mode door motor. The auto
amplifier and motors are connected by data transmission lines and motor power supply lines. The LAN net-
work is built through the ground circuits of the two motors.
Addresses, motor opening angle signals, motor stop signals and error checking messages are all transmitted
through the data transmission lines connecting the auto amplifier and two motors.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into the air mix door motor and the mode door motor.
●Address
●Motor opening angle signals
●Data transmission
●Motor stop and drive decision
●Opening angle sensor (PBR function)
●Comparison
●Decision (Auto amplifier indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)
OPERATION
The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends mode door, air mix door and
intake door opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door motor LCU and intake door motor
LCU.
The mode door motor, air mix 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, DEFROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The new selection
data is returned to the auto amplifier.

TRANSMISSION DATA AND TRANSMISSION ORDER
Amplifier data is transmitted consecutively to each of the door motors following the form shown in figure below.
Start: Initial compulsory signal sent to each of the door motors.
Address: Data sent from the auto amplifier is selected according to data-based decisions made by the air mix
door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor.
If the addresses are identical, the opening angle data and error check signals are received by the door motor
LCUs. The LCUs then make the appropriate error decision. If the opening angle data is usual, door control
begins.
If an error exists, the received data is rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is based upon
the corrected opening angle data.
Opening angle:
Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor.
Error check:
Procedure by which sent and received data is checked for errors. Error data is then compiled. The error check
prevents corrupted data from being used by the air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor.
Error data can be related to the following problems.
●Unusual electrical frequency
●Poor electrical connections
●Signal leakage from transmission lines
●Signal level fluctuation
Stop signal:
At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal problem message is delivered to
the auto amplifier. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.
AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL (AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
The air mix door is automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.

REMOVALNJSU0031S01CAUTION:
Before removing the rear suspension assembly, disconnect
the ABS wheel sensor from the assembly. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the sensor wires and the sensor becom-
ing inoperative.
Remove suspension assembly.
1. Disconnect parking brake cable from caliper and remove brake
caliper and rotor.
Suspend caliper assembly with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
Be careful not to depress brake pedal, or piston will pop
out.
Make sure brake hose is not twisted.
2. Using a transmission jack, raise torsion beam a little, and
remove nuts and bolts from the trailing arm, shock absorber
assembly (lower side) and lateral link (Body side).
3. Lower transmission jack, and remove suspension.
4. Remove strut securing nuts (upper side). Then pull out strut
assembly.
SRA697A
INSTALLATIONNJSU0031S02Install suspension assembly.
CAUTION:
Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 4”.
Never reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Attach torsion beam, at trailing arm and lateral link, to vehicle.
Do not tighten bolts at this time.
SRA698A
2. Using a transmission jack, place lateral link and control rod
horizontally against torsion beam. Tighten lateral link on
vehicle.
3. Attach shock absorber assembly to vehicle. Then tighten the
lower side of shock absorber assembly.
4. Lower torsion beam to fully extended position. Remove trans-
mission jack and tighten torsion beam, at trailing arm, to speci-
fied torque. Refer to SU-20.
5. Install brake caliper and rotor, then connect parking brake
cable to caliper.
6. Install ABS wheel sensor.
