HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION55-5
The following new unit integrated blower, heater and
evaporator to increase the air flow, reduce noise, and
enhanced cooler and heater performance;:
•Integrated heater/cooling unit has been adopted
for large air flows and low noise.
•Crushable space has been secured to reduce the
risk of passenger injuries.
•Air mix damper that is also used as a reheating
prevention damper has been adopted to enhance
the air cooling performance.
•The A/C condensate water outlet (drain port) has
been installed to behind the evaporator to
restrain the clogging of drain by foreign materials.
•The outlet air temperature of the defroster has
been set lower than that of foot to prevent over
-
heating the driver’s face.
•Fin thermo sensor to directly measure evaporator
temperature reduces occurrence risk of an evap
-
orator freeze which will lead to the compressor
lock.
•Clean air filter has been introduced as standard
to protect the unit from the intrusion of foreign
materials (fallen leaves and others). and, it
removes the pollen and dust, and enhances the
air quality inside the passenger compartment.
•Clean air filter media and cover have been sepa-
rated to reduce the waste material amount gener-
ated during the filter replacement.
•The installation position of clean air filter has
been set to the backside of glove box to facilitate
the filter replacement operation. And, the
one-touch tab structure has been adopted for the
cover installation to enable the replacement oper
-
ation without tools.

CRUSHABLE SPACE
The evaporator and heater core has been longitudi-
nally installed in the vehicle length, and the crush-
able space has been adopted so that the structure
absorbs the impact in case of a collision and reduces
the risk of passenger injuries.

COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS
ComponentFunction
Accelerator pedal position sensor (APP sensor)Informs the ECM of the accelerator pedal
depression.
Auto-cruise control switch"ON/OFF" switchPower switch for auto-cruise control system.
"ACC/RES" switchVehicle speed is set with the "ACC/RES" switch and
"COAST/SET" switch.
"COAST/SET" switch
"CANCEL" switchCancels the cruise speed setting.
Cancel systemClutch switch Because the constant speed driving is cancelled by
the clutch operation, the clutch pedal status is
detected.
Stoplight switch•Because the constant speed driving is canceled
by the brake operation, it detects the brake pedal
status.
•As for the stoplight switch, two built-in switches,
the stoplight switch which is also used for the
stoplight illumination and the brake switch which
is used exclusively for the auto-cruise control, are
integrated, and thus the reliability is enhanced.
Transmission range
switch Because the constant speed driving is cancelled by
the selector lever operation, it detects the "N"
position.
"CRUISE" indicator lightThe light is included in the combination meter and
illuminates when the "ON/OFF" switch is pressed
(auto-cruise control system: ON).
Data link connectorIf the M.U.T.-III scan tool is connected, the input
check code from the ECM can be read.
Engine control module (ECM)•Based on the input signal from each sensor and
switch, it outputs the throttle opening instruction
signal to the TAC motor.
•Based on the input signal from each sensor and
switch, it outputs the transaxle control signal to
the TCM .
•Based on the vehicle speed signal from the
vehicle speed sensor, it calculates the vehicle
speed .
•Based on the secondary pulley speed sensor
signal from the TCM, it calculates the vehicle
speed .
•Based on the selector lever "N" position signal of
the transmission range switch from the ECM, it
cancels constant speed driving. .
•Outputs the ON/OFF signals of "CRUISE"
indicator light and auto-cruise control system.
•The diagnostic trouble code signal is sent to the
"CRUISE" indicator light.
•The input check code is sent to the data link
connector.
Throttle actuator control motor (TAC motor)The throttle valve opens and closes in response to
the throttle angle signal from the ECM.

CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONM2170002000232
SYSTEM OUTLINE
The ECM calculates the auto-cruise control system
operation status when the ECM receives input sig
-
nals from the auto-cruise control switch, vehicle
speed and cancel system [stoplight switch and clutch
switch or transmission range switch ]. The engine control section sends the target acceler
-
ator pedal opening angle value for auto-cruise con-
trol system, the TCM issues a command to transaxle
control , and the gauge issues an ON/OFF
command for the "CRUISE" indicator light.
In the engine control section, the target throttle valve
opening angle value is calculated from the target
accelerator pedal opening angle value for
auto-cruise control system and the actual accelerator
angle value.The vehicle speed is then controlled by
applying the TAC motor.

Transaxle control module (TCM) •Based on the transaxle control signal from the
ECM, it controls the transaxle.
•Outputs the signal from the secondary pulley
speed sensor to the ECM.
•Transmits the selector lever "N" position signal
from the transmission range switch to the ECM.
Vehicle speed sensor Transmits the vehicle speed signal proportional to
the vehicle speed to the ECM.

EMISSION CONTROL
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL17-12
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION PURGE SOLENOID
An evaporative emission purge solenoid is installed in the
intake manifold.The evaporative emission purge solenoid con
-
trols the intake volume of fuel vapor gas from the canister. The
evaporative emission purge solenoid is a duty control type
solenoid valve. When current is not passing through the coil,
nipple A is kept airtight and fuel vapor gas cannot be sucked in.
When current passes through the coil, air can pass between
nipple A and B and fuel vapor gas is sucked in. ECM changes
the ON duty ratio according to engine's operating condition to
control the intake volume of fuel vapor gas.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM M2171000300122
When the combustion gas temperature becomes
high, generation of the environment polluting NOx
(nitrogen oxides) increases rapidly. EGR system is
used to decrease the volume of NOx generated.
EGR system re-circulates exhaust gas inside the
intake manifold. It increases specific heat of the com
-
bustion gases and reduces combustion speed to lower the combustion temperature and reduce the
volume of NOx generated. ECM calculates the EGR
introduction volume according to engine operating
conditions and controls the EGR valve opening angle
at optimum. Also, immediately after the ignition
switch ON signal is input, it drives fully closed step
-
per motor and performs initialization.
