COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Unified Meter and A/C amp. (Automatic Amplifier)
The unified meter and A/C amp. has a built-in microcomputer which
processes information sent from various sensors needed for air con-
ditioner operation. The air mix door motor, mode door motor, intake
door motor, blower motor and compressor are then controlled.
The unified meter and A/C amp. is unitized with control mechanisms.
When the various switches and temperature switch are operated,
data is input to the unified meter and A/C amp. from the DISPLAY
UNIT/DISPLAY C/U using CAN communication.
Self-diagnostic functions are also built into unified meter and A/C
amp. to provide quick check of malfunctions in the auto air condi-
tioner system.
Potentio Temperature Control (PTC)
The PTC is built into the A/C and AV switch. It can be set at an inter-
val of 0.5°C (1.0°F) in the 18°C (60°F) to 32°C (90°F) temperature
range by pressing temperature switch. The set temperature is dis-
played.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR A/C SYSTEM
SYMPTOM: A/C system does not come on.
