2007 INFINITI M35 component

ATC-80
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Upper ventilator door control system components are:

Unified meter and A/C amp.

Upper ventilator door motor (LCU)

A/C LAN system (PBR built-in mode door motor, upper ventilator door motor, air mix door motor and
intake door motor)

Sunload sensor
System Operation
The unified meter and A/C amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The unified meter and A/C amp.
sends air mix door, mode door, upper ventilator door and intake door opening angle data to the air mix door
motor LCUs, mode door motor LCUs, upper ventilator door motor LCU and intake door motor LCU.
The air mix door motors, mode door motors, upper ventilator door motor 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 are compared by the LCUs in each door motor
with the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD, DEF/VENT, OPEN/SHUT and FRE/
REC operation is selected. The new selection data are returned to the unified meter and A/C amp.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Upper Ventilator Door Motor
The upper ventilator door motor is attached to the heater & cooling
unit assembly. It rotates so that air is discharged from the outlet set
by the unified meter and A/C amp. Motor rotation is conveyed to a
rod which activates the upper ventilator door.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR UPPER VENTILATOR DOOR MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Upper ventilator door motor does not operate normally.
Perform diagnosis procedure. Refer to AT C - 7 1 , "
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR LAN CIRCUIT" .

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Air Mix Door Motor
The air mix door motors are attached to the heater & cooling unit
assembly. It rotates so that the air mix door is opened or closed to a
position set by the unified meter and A/C amp. Motor rotation is then
conveyed through a shaft and the air mix door position feedback is
then sent to the unified meter and A/C amp. by PBR built-in air mix
door motor.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Discharge air temperature does not change.
Perform diagnosis procedure. Refer to AT C - 7 1 , "
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR LAN CIRCUIT" .

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Intake door control system components are:

A/C LAN system (PBR built-in mode door motor, upper ventilator door motor, air mix door motor and
intake door motor)

In-vehicle sensor

Ambient sensor

Sunload sensor

Intake sensor
System Operation
The intake door control determines intake door position based on the ambient temperature, the intake air tem-
perature and the in-vehicle temperature. When shifting mode position D/F, when the DEF or OFF switches are
pressed, or when A/C switch is OFF, the unified meter and A/C amp. sets the intake door at the FRE position.

System Operation
Automatic Mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the unified meter and A/C amp. based on the
input from the PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor.
When the air flow is increased, the duty ratio of the blower fan motor’s drive signal is changed at 8%/sec. to
prevent a sudden increase in air flow.
In addition to manual air flow control and the usual automatic air flow control, starting air flow control, low
water temperature starting control and high passenger compartment temperature starting control are avail-
able.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
Starting Fan Speed Control
Start up from COLD SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 56°C (133°F), the blower will not
operate for a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay time varies depending on the
ambient and engine coolant temperature.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower starting delay will be 150 seconds as described
above. After this delay, the blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant temperature rises above
56°C (133°F), and then the blower speed will increase to the objective speed.
Start up from usual or HOT SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO switch is pressed. The blower speed will gradu-
ally rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).
Blower Speed Compensation
Sunload
When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature are very close, the blower will be operating at low
speed. The low speed will vary depending on the sunload. During conditions of low or no sunload, the blower
speed is at duty ratio 25%. During high sunload conditions, the unified meter and A/C amp. raise the blower
speed (duty ratio 49%).
Fan Speed Control Specification
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Brush-less Motor
The blower motor utilizes a brush-less motor with a rotating magnet.
Quietness is improved over previous motors where the brush was
the point of contact and the coil rotated.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR BLOWER MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Blower motor operation is malfunctioning.
