Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorNJS000DL
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor.
Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)

LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?
A/C system works properly.
There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, never perform the lubricant return operation.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLPFP:27500
Description of Air Conditioner LAN Control SystemNJS000DM
The LAN (Local Area Network) system consists of unified meter and A/C amp., mode door motor, air mix door
motors and intake door motor.
A configuration of these components is shown in the figure below.
System ConstructionNJS000DN
A small network is constructed between the unified meter and A/C amp., air mix door motors, mode door
motor and intake door motor. The unified meter and A/C amp. and motors are connected by data transmission
lines and motor power supply lines. The LAN network is built through the ground circuits of each door motor.
Addresses, motor opening angle signals, motor stop signals and error checking messages are all transmitted
through the data transmission lines connecting the unified meter and A/C amp. and each door motor.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into the air mix door motors, the mode door motor and the
intake door motor.
Address
Motor opening angle signals
Data transmission
Motor stop and drive decision
Opening angle sensor (PBR function)
Comparison
Decision (Unified meter and A/C amp. indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)
OPERATION
The unified meter and A/C amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The unified meter and A/C amp.
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 motors and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the unified meter and A/C amp. and each of
the motor position sensors is compared by the LCUs in each door motor with the existing decision and open-
ing angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD, DEF/VENT and FRE/REC operation is selected. The new selection
data is returned to the unified meter and A/C amp.

TRANSMISSION DATA AND TRANSMISSION ORDER
Unified meter and A/C amp. data is transmitted consecutively to each of the door motors following the form
shown in figure below.
Start:
Initial compulsory signal is sent to each of the door motors.
Address:
Data sent from the unified meter and A/C amp. are 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 have no error, door con-
trol begins.
If an error exists, the received data are 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:
In this procedure, transmitted and received data is checked for errors. Error data are then compiled. The error
check prevents corrupted data from being used by the air mix door motor, the mode door motor and the intake
door motor. Error data can be related to the following symptoms.
Malfunction of electrical frequency
Poor electrical connections
Signal leakage from transmission lines
Signal level fluctuation

Self-diagnosis FunctionNJS000E0
DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnosis system diagnoses sensors, door motors, blower motor, etc. by system line. Refer to appli-
cable sections (items) for details. Shifting from normal control to the self-diagnosis system is accomplished by
starting the engine (turning the ignition switch ON) and pressing OFF switch for at least 5 seconds. The OFF
switch must be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned ON). This system
will be canceled by either pressing AUTO switch or turning the ignition switch OFF. Shifting from one step is
accomplished by means of pressing temperature control switch (driver side), as required.
Shifting from STEP-5 to AUXILIARY MECHANISM is accomplished by means of pressing (fan) UP switch
(driver side).
