SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Mode door control system components are:

Unified meter and A/C amp.

Mode 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)

In-vehicle sensor

Ambient sensor

Sunload sensor

Intake 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.

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

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR UNUSUAL PRESSURE
Whenever system’s high and/or low side pressure(s) is/are unusual, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The
marker above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Since the
standard (usual) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to above table (Ambient air tempera-
ture-to-operating pressure table).
Both High- and Low-pressure Sides are Too High
High-pressure Side is Too High and Low-pressure Side is Too Low
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Both high- and low-pressure sides
are too high.The pressure returns to nor-
mal soon after water is
splashed on condenser.Excessive refrigerant charge
in refrigeration cycle.Reduce refrigerant until speci-
fied pressure is obtained.
Air suction by cooling fan is
insufficient.Insufficient condenser cooling
performance.
↓
1. Condenser fins are clogged.
2. Improper fan rotation of
cooling fan.

Clean condenser.

Check and repair cooling fan
as necessary.

Low-pressure pipe is not
cold.

When compressor is
stopped high-pressure
value quickly drops by
approximately 196 kPa (2
kg/cm
2 , 28 psi). It then
decreases gradually there-
after.Poor heat exchange in con-
denser
(After compressor operation
stops, high-pressure
decreases too slowly.).
↓
Air in refrigeration cycle.Evacuate repeatedly and
recharge system.
Engine tends to overheat.Engine cooling systems mal-
function.Check and repair each engine
cooling system.

An area of the low-pres-
sure pipe is colder than
areas near the evaporator
outlet.

Low-pressure pipe is
sometimes covered with
frost.

Excessive liquid refrigerant
on low-pressure side.

Excessive refrigerant dis-
charge flow.

Expansion valve is open a
little compared with the
specification.
↓
Improper expansion valve
adjustment.Replace expansion valve.
AC359A
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
High-pressure side is too high and
low-pressure side is too low.
Upper side of condenser and
high-pressure side are hot,
however, liquid tank is not so
hot.High-pressure tube or parts
located between compressor
and condenser are clogged or
crushed.

Check and repair or replace
malfunctioning parts.

Check lubricant for contami-
nation.
