DESCRIPTION
Condition for interlocking movement of auto intake switch and A/C switch can be changed. In addition opera-
tion of the auto intake switch, which activates the aut omatic intake control (exhaust gas / outside odor detect-
ing mechanism), can be set to become available when the A/C switch is ON.
HOW TO SET
With CONSULT-III
Perform the “CLEAN SW SET” of HVAC work support item.
NOTE:
When the battery cable is disconnect ed from the negative terminal or when the battery voltage becomes 10 V
or less, the setting of WO RK SUPPORT may be cancelled.
Work support items Display Setting
CLEAN SW SET Mode1 Initial setting
Mode2 Setting 1
Mode3 Setting 2
Mode4 Setting 3
Initial setting
When the auto intake switch is ON, the A/C switch is al
so turned ON in synchronization with the auto intake
switch.
Control of the auto intake switch is function al even when the A/C switch is turned OFF.
Setting 1 When the auto intake switch is ON, the A/C switch is
not turned ON in synchronization with the auto intake
switch.
Control of the auto intake switch is function al even when the A/C switch is turned OFF.
Setting 2 When the auto intake switch is ON, the A/C switch is al
so turned ON in synchronization with the auto intake
switch.
When the A/C switch is turned OFF, the auto intake switch is turned OFF in synchronization with the A/C
switch.
Setting 3 Auto intake switch can be turned ON only when A/C switch is ON.
When the A/C switch is turned OFF, the auto intake switch is turned OFF in synchronization with the A/C
switch.

DescriptionINFOID:0000000006275903
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication
system for real time application. It is an on-vehicle
multiplex communication system with high data comm unication speed and excellent error detection ability.
Many electronic control units are equipped onto vehicl es, and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independent ). In CAN communication, control units are con-
nected with two communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/recei ves data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication Signal Chart. Refer to LAN-28, "
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM : CAN Communica-
tion Signal Chart".
