AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
When A/C switch, AUTO switch or DEF switch is pressed, unified meter and A/C amp. transmits compressor
ON signal to ECM, via CAN communication.
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant-pressure sen-
sor signal, throttle angle, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON signal to
IPDM E/R, via CAN communication.
Upon receipt of compressor ON signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns air conditioner relay ON to operate com-
pressor.
When sending compressor ON signal to IPDM E/R via CAN communication line, ECM simultaneously sends
compressor feedback signal to ECM via CAN communication line.
ECM sends compressor feedback signal to unified meter and A/C amp., then, uses input compressor feed-
back signal to control air inlet.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
The self-diagnosis system is built into the unified meter and A/C amp. to quickly locate the cause of malfunc-
tions.

COMPONENT INSPECTION
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor
The refrigerant pressure sensor is attached to the liquid tank.
Make sure that the A/C refrigerant pressure and the sensor output
voltage are within the specified range as shown in the A/C operating
condition figure. Refer to EC-692, "
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE
SENSOR" (VQ35DE) or EC-1434, "REFRIGERANT PRESSURE
SENSOR" (VK45DE).

Sample Operation:
When lighting switch 1ST position is turned ON, contact in combination switch turns ON. At this time if
OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5.
When OUTPUT 4 transistor is ON, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5, and judges that lighting
switch 1ST position is ON. Then BCM sends tail lamp and clearance lamp request signal to IPDM E/R
using CAN communication.
When OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated again, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5, and recog-
nizes that lighting switch 1ST position is continuously ON.
NOTE:
Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10 ms intervals. Therefore after switch is turned ON, electri-
cal loads are activated with time delay. But this time delay is so short that it cannot be detected by human
senses.
