AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Revision: 2007 April2007 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.

Self-diagnosis FunctionNJS000GJ
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.

FUNCTION CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1. SET IN SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Set in self-diagnosis mode as follows. Within 10 seconds after starting engine (ignition switch is turned
ON.), press OFF switch for at least 5 seconds.
NOTE:
If battery voltage drops below 12 V during diagnosis STEP-3, door motor speed becomes slower and as a
result, the system may generate an error even when operation is normal. To avoid this, start engine before
performing this diagnosis.
Former STEP-1 (LEDs and display screen are checked) does not exist in this self-diagnosis function.
>> GO TO 2.
2. STEP-2: SENSOR CIRCUITS ARE CHECKED FOR OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT
Does code No. 20 appear on the display?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 13.
3. CHECK TO ADVANCE SELF-DIAGNOSIS STEP-3
Press temperature control (UP) switch (driver side).
Advance to self
-diagnosis STEP-3?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Replace Multifunction switch. (Temperature control switch is malfunctioning.)
4. CHECK TO RETURN SELF-DIAGNOSIS STEP-2
Press temperature control (DOWN) switch (driver side).
Return to self
-diagnosis STEP-2?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Malfunctioning multifunction switch or unified meter and A/C amp. Refer to AT C - 11 0 , "
