Component Description
Ambient sensor Ambient sensor measures ambient air temperature. The sensor uses a
thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical
resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
AV c o n t r o l u n i t AV control unit transmits front A/C control operation signal to A/C auto amp.
via CAN communication line.
A/C auto amp. A/C auto amp. controls front automatic air conditioning system by inputting
and calculating signals from each sensor and each switch. A/C auto amp.
has self-diagnosis function. Diagnosis of front automatic air conditioning
system can be performed quickly.

Engine coolant temperature sensor Engine coolant temperature sensor measures engine coolant temperature.
The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in tempera-
ture. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature
increases.
Front display Front display indicates operation status of front automatic air conditioning
system.
Front in-vehicle sensor Front in-vehicle sensor measures temperature of intake air that flows
through aspirator to passenger room. The sensor uses a thermistor which

Refrigerant Pressure SensorINFOID:0000000006275859
Description
Refrigerant pressure sensor is installed to upper porti on of liquid tank. The refrigerant pressure sensor con-
verts high-pressure side refrigerant pressure into vo ltage and outputs it to ECM. ECM operates cooling system
protection and idle speed control according to voltage value that is input.
Structure and operation
The refrigerant pressure sensor is a capacitance type sensor. It consists of a pressure detection area and a
signal processing area. The pressure detection area, wh ich is a variable capacity condenser, changes internal
static capacitance according to pressure force. The signal processing area detects the static capacitance of
the pressure detection area, converts the static capacitance into a voltage value, and transmits the voltage
value to ECM.
