BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEM
BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000003846315
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003846316
Blower speed is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tempera-
ture, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
By pressing the AUTO switch, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
SYSTEM OPERATION
System Operation
For air flow, the manual selection (1-7) with the fan control dial has priority.
If the AUTO switch is pressed or if the DEF switch is pressed while in the OFF condition, it changes to the
automatic control by A/C auto amp.
When increasing the air flow, it changes the duty ratio of the blower motor drive signal to prevent the air flow
from suddenly increasing.
There are the following types of air flow control: starting air flow control, starting air flow control at low cool-
ant temperature, starting air flow control at high in-vehicle temperature, and air flow control at actuator oper-
ation in addition to manual control, normal automatic air flow control.
Normal Automatic Air Flow Control
When the target temperature is set by the temperature control switch of A/C control, the A/C auto amp. per-
forms the calculation and decides the target according to the signal from each sensor.
The A/C auto amp. changes the duty ratio of blower motor drive signal and controls the air flow continuously
so that the air flow becomes the target air flow.
The minimum air flow will change according to the sunload when the air discharge outlet is VENT or B/L.

P Starting Air Flow Control
When starting the automatic control of air flow, the system gradually increases the duty ratio of the blower
motor drive signal to prevent too much air from blowing.
The time period from when the air flow changes from LO to HI is approximately 8 seconds.
It becomes the starting air flow control at low coolant temperature according to the calculation result of the A/
C auto amp. and engine coolant temperature [approximately 56°C (133°F) or less] during the automatic air
flow control.
Do not perform the starting air flow control when the air discharge outlet is set to DEF.
Starting Fan Speed Control
Start up from COLD SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
In cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 56°C (133°F), the blower does not
operate for a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay time varies depending on the
ambient temperature and engine coolant temperature.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient temperature) the blower start delay is 150 seconds as described
above. After this delay, the blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant temperature rises above
56°C (133°F), and then the blower speed increases to the objective speed.
Start up from usual or HOT SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO switch is pressed. The blower speed rises gradu-
ally to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).

B257B, B257C AMBIENT SENSOR
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003846328
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor (1) is installed behind left side of front bumper.
It detects ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance
value which is then input into the A/C auto amp.
Ambient Sensor Circuit
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The A/C auto amp. equips a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the temperature
detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the A/C auto amp. function. It
only allows the A/C auto amp. to recognize an ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100 sec-
onds.
As an example, consider stopping for a few minutes after high speed driving. Although the actual ambient tem-
perature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor increases. This is because the
heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front bumper area, the location of the ambient sensor.

If DTC is displayed along with DTC U1000 or U1010, first diagnose the DTC U1000 or U1010. Refer to HAC-
42, "DTC Logic" or HAC-43, "DTC Logic".
If there is an open circuit in the ambient sensor, A/C auto amp. registers extreme cold [−44°C (−47°F)] and
adjusts the temperature control warmer.
