Component Description
A/C Compressor Vaporized refrigerant is drawn into the A/C compressor from the evaporator, where it is compressed
to a high pressure, high temperature vapor. The hot, compressed vapor is then discharged to the con-
denser.
Air mix door motor The air mix door controls the mix of hot or cold air that enters the ventilation system. It is controlled
by the front air control based on the position of the temperature dial. The air mix door motor receives
position commands from the front air control and reports actual door position back via an LCU (Local
Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands and responses are sent across the LIN (Local In-
terconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously, with each motor having its own unique address,
thereby only responding to requests sent to its specific address. The LCU reads the door position from
a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of the motor, and returns that information to the front
air control. The LCU switches the polarity of the circuits connected to the DC motor to drive the motor
forward or backward as requested by the front air control.
BCM The BCM receives the fan ON and A/C ON signals from the front air control and sends a compressor
ON request to the ECM.
Blower motor The blower motor varies the speed at which the air flows through the ventilation system.
ECM The ECM sends a compressor ON request to the IPDM E/R based on the status of engine operation
and load as well as refrigerant pressure information. If all the conditions are met for A/C operation,
the ECM transmits the compressor ON request to the IPDM E/R. The ECM shares the refrigerant
pressure sensor signal, engine RPM, and engine coolant temperature with the front air control via
CAN communication line.
Front air control The front air control controls the operation of the A/C and heating system based on inputs from the
temperature control knob, the mode switches, the blower control dial, and inputs received from the
ECM and combination meter across the CAN.
Front blower motor relay The front blower motor relay controls the flow of current to fuses 17 and 27 in the Fuse Block (J/B).
The relay is connected directly to ground, and is energized when the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position.
Fuse Block (J/B) Located in the passenger compartment, behind the left lower IP, the Fuse Block (J/B) contains the
front blower motor relay and several fuses required for the air conditioner control system.
Intake door motor The intake door motor controls the position of the intake door. Fresh air is allowed to enter the cabin
in one position, and recirculated inside air is allowed to enter in the other position. At times the front
air control may command partial fresh or recirculation based on evaporator or coolant temperatures.
The intake door motor receives position commands from the front air control and reports actual door
position back via an LCU (Local Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands and responses
are sent across the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously, with each motor
having its own unique address, thereby only responding to requests sent to its specific address. The
LCU reads the door position from a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of the motor, and re-
turns that information to the front air control. The LCU switches the polarity of the circuits connected
to the DC motor to drive the motor forward or backward as requested by the front air control.
IPDM E/R Refer to PCS-6, "RELAY CONTROL SYSTEM : System Description"

< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER]
COMPONENT PARTS
Mode door motorThe mode door controls the direction the conditioned air passes through the ventilation system.
Through a series of levers and gears, the mode door controls the defrost door, the foot door, and the
vent door. There are 5 preset positions: VENT, B/L, FOOT, D/F, and DEF. The FOOT position can be
set to allow some airflow through to the defroster vent, or to completely block the defroster vent using
the CONSULT. The mode door motor receives position commands from the front air control and re-
ports actual door position back via an LCU (Local Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands
and responses are sent across the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously,
with each motor having its own unique address, thereby only responding to requests sent to its spe-
cific address. The LCU reads the door position from a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of
the motor, and returns that information to the front air control. The LCU switches the polarity of the
circuits connected to the DC motor to drive the motor forward or backward as requested by the front
air control.
Refrigerant pressure sensor Refer to
EC-36, "Refrigerant Pressure Sensor"
for QR25DE and EC-562, "Refrigerant Pressure Sen-
sor" for VQ35DE.

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the c onditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interv iew to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any
customer's comments; refer to INT-13, "Diagnostic Worksheet"
. This information is necessary to duplicate the
conditions that exist when the noise occurs.
• The customer may not be able to provide a detailed descr iption or the location of the noise. Attempt to obtain
all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).
• If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer is
concerned about. This can be accomplished by test driving the vehicle with the customer.
• After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics
are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.
• Squeak —(Like tennis shoes on a clean floor) Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard surfaces
= higher pitch noise/softer surfaces = lower pitch noises/edge to surface = chirping.
• Creak—(Like walking on an old wooden floor) Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow mo vement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch depen-
dent on materials/often brought on by activity.
• Rattle—(Like shaking a baby rattle) Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contac t/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.
• Knock —(Like a knock on a door) Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/someti mes repeating/often brought on by driver action.
• Tick—(Like a clock second hand) Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of li ght materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.
• Thump—(Heavy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer k nock/dead sound often brought on by activity.
• Buzz—(Like a bumble bee) Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.
• Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending upon the person. A noise that you may judge
as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.
• Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.
