SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Intake door control system components are:
Unified meter and A/C amp.
Intake 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 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
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. controls compressor operation by ambient temperature, intake air temperature
and signal from ECM.
Low Temperature Protection Control
Unified meter and A/C amp. will turn compressor ON or OFF as determined by a signal detected by ambient
sensor and intake sensor.
When ambient temperature is higher than −2°C (28°F), the compres-
sor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when ambient temperature
is lower than −5°C (23°F).
When intake air temperature is higher than 1°C (34°F), the compres-
sor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when intake air tempera-
ture is lower than −5°C (23°F).
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR MAGNET CLUTCH
SYMPTOM: Magnet clutch does not engage when A/C switch is ON.
