HVAC Control Module Operation DescriptionS7RS0B7221002
Temperature Control
HVAC control module calculates the target temperature
control door position based on signals from the
temperature selector, inside air temperature sensor,
outside air temperature sensor and sunload sensor and
controls the temperature control actuator so that the
current position of the temperature control door matches
its target position.
Fan Speed Control
HVAC control module calculates the target blower fan
speed based on signals from the temperature selector,
inside air temperature sensor, outside air temperature
sensor and sunload sensor, compares it with the current
blower fan speed inputted from the blower motor
controller to control the current blower fan speed to the
target level.
Air Flow Outlet Control
HVAC control module calculates the target temperature
control door position based on signals from the
temperature selector, inside air temperature sensor,
outside air temperature sensor and sunload sensor.
Using thus obtained target temperature control door
position, it further calculates the target air flow control
door position and controls the ai r flow control actuator so
that the current air flow c ontrol door position becomes
the target position. Air Intake Position Control
HVAC control module determines the position of the air
intake control door based on signals from the
temperature selector, inside air temperature sensor,
outside air temperature sensor and sunload sensor and
selects any of the following positions by controlling the
position of the air intake control door.
• FRESH position (FRE)
• RECIRCULATION position (REC)
• MIX position (MIX)

On-Board Diagnostic System DescriptionS7RS0B7221007
NOTE
The diagnostic information as diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) can be known by using
SUZUKI scan tool. For further details, refer to
“DTC Check”.
HVAC control module detect s malfunctions, which may
occur in the following area.
• Outside air temperature sensor
• Inside air temperature sensor
• Evaporator temperature sensor
• Sunload sensor
• ECT sensor
• Temperature control actuator of HVAC unit
• Air flow control actuator of HVAC unit
• A/C refrigerant pressure sensor • HVAC control module
• VSS
• Serial Communication line
• CAN communication line
When HVAC control module detects malfunction, the
“AUTO” indicator lamp (1) flashes to warn and the
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored in the memory of
the module. When diagnosing trouble, the DTC can be
checked according to “DTC Check”.

3) Light over sunload sensor vertically with an incandescent lamp approximately 100 W apart from
about 100 mm (3.94 in.).
NOTE
If sunload sensor is not lighted over with an
incandescent lamp, DTC B1504 is detected
as current DTC even though there is not any
malfunction.
4) Turn ignition switch to ON position.
5) Erase DTC according to instructions displayed on SUZUKI scan tool.
NOTE
To know how to use SUZUKI scan tool, refer
to operator’s manual for SUZUKI scan tool.
6) After completing the clearance, turn ignition switch to OFF position, and then di sconnect SUZUKI scan
tool from DLC.
Not Using SUZUKI Scan Tool 1) Turn ignition switch to ON position.
2) Set temperature selector to 25 °C (77 °F). 3) Push AUTO switch (1) and
MODE (air flow) selector
(2) at the same time to have history DTC displayed.
4) Push MODE (air flow) selector (2) and OFF switch (3) at the same time while history DTC is displayed.
5) Check that “CL” (4) appears on display. “CL” means that DTC has been cleared.

Inspection of HVAC Control Module and Its CircuitS7RS0B7224026
HVAC control module and its circuits can be checked at HVAC control module wiring couplers by measuring voltage.
CAUTION!
HVAC control module can not be checked by itself. It is strictly prohibited to connect voltmeter to
HVAC control module with couplers disconnected from it.
Voltage Check
1) Remove HVAC control module referring to “HVAC Control Module Removal and Installation”.
2) Check voltage at each terminal.
NOTE
As each terminal voltage is affected by the battery voltage, confirm that it is 11 V or more when ignition
switch is ON.
