DescriptionECS007SN
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEMPFP:KA990
Refrigerant CycleEJS001Z0
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,
through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator coil is
controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.
FREEZE PROTECTION
Under usual operating conditions, when the A/C is switched on, the compressor runs continuously, and the
evaporator pressure, and therefore, temperature is controlled by the CSV613 displacement compressor to
prevent freeze up.
Refrigerant System ProtectionEJS001Z1
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR (WITH GASOLINE ENGINE)
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the refriger-
ant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the ECM.
ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (27.5 bar, 28 kg/cm
2 , 398 psi), or below
about 134 kPa (1.37 bar, 1.4 kg/cm
2 , 20 psi).
DUAL-PRESSURE SWITCH (WITH DIESEL ENGINE)
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the dual-pressure switch,
located on the liquid tank. If the system pressure rises above or falls below the specifications, the dual-pres-
sure switch opens to interrupt the compressor operation.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3,727 kPa (37.3 bar,
38 kg/cm
2 , 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refriger-
ant into the atmosphere.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
FAN SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled based on temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With FAN switch set to AUTO, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake doors are automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle
temperature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON-OFF operation of the compressor.
OUTLET DOOR CONTROL
The outlet door is automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
The ECM controls compressor operation using input signals from the refrigerant pressure sensor (with QG
engine), throttle position sensor and auto amplifier.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The self-diagnostic system is built into the auto amplifier (LCU) to quickly locate the cause of problems.
Overview of Control systemEJS001Z7
The control system consists of input sensors, switches, the automatic amplifier (microcomputer) and outputs.
The relationship of these components is shown in the diagram below:

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Auto amplifier controls compressor operation by ambient temperature and signal from ECM.
Low Temperature Protection Control
Auto amplifier will turn the compressor ON or OFF as determined by
a signal detected by ambient sensor.
When ambient temperatures are greater than −2°C (28°F), the com-
pressor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when ambient temper-
atures are less than −5°C (23°F).
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR MAGNET CLUTCH (WITH CAN SYSTEM)
SYMPTOM: Magnet clutch does not engage when A/C switch is ON.
