Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000005147729
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
A/C auto amp.
The A/C auto amp. has a built-in microcomputer which processes
information sent from various sensors needed for air conditioner
operation. The air mix door motors, mode door motor, intake door
motor, defroster door motor, blower motor and compressor are then
controlled.
The A/C auto amp. is unitized with control mechanisms. When the
various switches and temperature dials are operated, data is input to
the A/C auto amp.
Self-diagnostic functions are also built into the A/C auto amp. to pro-
vide quick check of malfunctions in the auto air conditioner system.
Potentio Temperature Control (PTC)
There are two PTCs (driver and passenger) built into the A/C auto
amp. They can be set at an interval of 0.5° C (1.0°F) in the 18 °C
(60 °F) to 32° C (90°F) temperature range by rotating the temperature
dial. The set temperature is displayed.
A/C Auto Amp. Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000005147730
SYMPTOM: A/C system does not come on.
INSPECTION FLOW
1.CONFIRM SYMPTOM BY PERFORMING OPERATIONAL CHECK - AUTO MODE
1. Press AUTO switch.
2. Display should indicate AUTO. Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual inspection).
(Discharge air and blower speed will depend on am bient, in-vehicle and set temperatures.)
Can a symptom be duplicated?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.PERFORM COMPLETE OPERATIONAL CHECK
Perform a complete operational check and check for any symptoms. Refer to HAC-4, "
Operational Check
(Front)".
Can a symptom be duplicated?
YES >> Refer to HAC-3, "How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis For Quick And Accurate Repair".
NO >> System OK.
