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 and intake door motor opening angle data to the air mix door motor LCUs,
mode door motor LCU and intake door motor LCU.
The air mix door motors, mode door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals receiv ed 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 open-
ing angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD, DEF/VENT and FRE/REC operation is selected. The new selection
data are returned to the unified meter and A/C amp.
Air Mix Door Control Specification
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.

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 the DEF, or OFF switches are pressed or A/C switch is OFF,
the unified meter and A/C amp. sets the intake door at the FRE position.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Intake sensor
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, sunl oad 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 automat ic air flow control, starting air flow control, low
water temperature starting control and high passenger co mpartment temperature starting control are avail-
able.
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 lo w 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 AU TO 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. Du ring conditions of low or no sunload, the blower
speed is at duty ratio 25%. During high sunload conditi ons, the unified meter and A/C amp. raise the blower
speed (duty ratio 49%).

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.
1.CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR BLOWER MOTOR
1. Disconnect blower motor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between blower motor harness connector M78 terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check power supply circuit and 15A fuses [Nos. 10 and 11, located in the fuse block (J/B)]. Refer to PG-
77.
If fuses are OK, check harness for open circuit. Repair or replace if necessary.
If fuses are NG, check harness fo r short circuit and replace fuse.
2.CHECK BLOWER MOTOR GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check continuity between blower motor harness connector M78 terminal 3 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair harness or connector.
3.CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN BLOWER MOTOR AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
1. Disconnect unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
