COMPONENT PARTS
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor
INFOID:0000000006217690
The refrigerant pressure sensor is installed at the c ondenser of the air conditioner system. The sensor uses an
electrostatic volume pressure transducer to convert refrigerant pressure to voltage. The voltage signal is sent
to ECM, and ECM controls cooling fan system.
VVEL Actuator MotorINFOID:0000000006217691
The VVEL actuator motor rotates the control shaft acco rding to the control signal from the VVEL control mod-
ule. The VVEL control module judges whether the VVEL actuator motor controls the angle properly by the
VVEL control shaft position sensor signal.
VVEL Actuator Motor RelayINFOID:0000000006217692
Power supply for the VVEL actuator motor is provided to the VVEL control module via VVEL actuator motor
relay. VVEL actuator motor relay is ON/OFF controll ed by the VVEL control module. In addition, when the
VVEL actuator motor relay cannot be controlled by the VVEL control module for some reason, it ON/OFF con-
trolled by ECM.
VVEL Control ModuleINFOID:0000000006217693
The VVEL control module consists of a microcomputer and connec-
tors for signal input and output and for power supply. The VVEL con-
trol module controls VVEL system.
VVEL Control Shaft Position SensorINFOID:0000000006217694
VVEL control shaft position sensor detects the control shaft position
angle.
A magnet is installed to the tip of the control shaft.
The magnetic field changes as the control shaft rotates. This
changes output voltage of the VVEL control shaft position sensor.
VVEL control module detects the actual position angle through the
voltage change and sends the signal to ECM.

INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*1: This signal is sent to the ECM via the CAN communication line.
*2: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This system improves engine operation when the air conditioner is used.
Under the following conditions, the air conditioner is turned OFF.
 When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
 When cranking the engine.
 At high engine speeds.
 When the engine coolant temperature becomes excessively high.
 When operating power steering during low engine speed or low vehicle speed.
 When engine speed is excessively low.
 When refrigerant pressure is excessively low or high.
