• The voltage value is based on the body ground.
• *: If high resistance exists in the switch side circuit (caused by a single strand), terminal 1 does not detect battery voltag e. Control unit
does not detect the switch is ON even if the switch does not turn ON. Therefore, the control unit does not supply power to ligh t up the
lamp.

MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
When A/C switch or DEF switch is pressed, A/ C auto amp. inputs compressor ON signal to BCM.
BCM sends compressor ON signal to ECM and A/C auto amp., via CAN communication line.
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant pressure sen-
sor signal, throttle angle sensor, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON sig-
nal to IPDM E/R, via CAN communication line.

AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005147690
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
SYMPTOM:• Discharge air temperature does not change.
• Air mix door motor does not operate.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Air mix door control system components are:• A/C auto amp.
• A/C and AV switch assembly
• Air mix door motors (driver, passenger, and rear)
• PBR (built-into air mix door motors)
• In-vehicle sensor
• Ambient sensor
• Optical sensor
• Intake sensor
System Operation
The A/C auto amp. receives data from the temperature
selected by the driver side, passenger side, and rear.
The A/C auto amp. then applies a voltage to one circuit of the appropriate air mix door motor, while ground is
applied to the other circuit, causing the appropriate air mix door motor to rotate. The direction of rotation is
determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it , and which one has ground applied to it. The A/C auto
amp. monitors the air mix door positions by measur ing the voltage signal on the PBR circuits of each door.
In AUTO mode the air mix, intake, mode door, and defrost door positions are set by the A/C auto amp. which
determines the proper position based on inputs from the in-vehicle sensor, ambient sensor, optical sensor,
intake sensor, and the temperature selected by the driver and front and rear passengers.
Subsequently, HOT/COLD or DEFROST/VENT or FR ESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The new
door position data is returned to the A/C auto amp.
