Airflow volume control

•  The airflow volume control changes the blower motor control speed and switches the airflow volume in conjunction with the airflow volume setting and the vehicle conditions.

Airflow mode control

•  The airflow mode control operates the airflow mode actuator and switches the airflow mode door position according to the airflow mode setting.

Air intake control

•  The air intake control operates the air intake actuator and switches the air intake door position according to the air intake setting.

A/C compressor control

•  The A/C compressor control sends the A/C signal to the PCM based on the climate control unit operation and signals from each sensor.

Air conditioner i-stop control (With i-stop)

•  The climate control unit determines i-stop control according to the operation condition of the air conditioner system and sends i-stop request signals to the PCM.

Operation

Airflow temperature control

1.  The climate control unit performs airflow temperature determination (2) based on the airflow temperature setting (1).

2.  The climate control unit drives (3) the air mix actuator based on the results of the airflow temperature determination and corrections.

3.  The climate control unit detects the current air mix actuator opening angle based on the potentiometer voltage (4).

4.  The climate control unit compares (5) the target actuator opening angle with the voltage from the potentiometer.

5.  When the potentiometer voltage value differs from the target actuator opening angle, the climate control unit drives (6) the air mix actuator motor.

6.  When the potentiometer voltage value matches (7) the target actuator opening angle, the climate control unit stops (8) the air mix actuator motor.

Airflow volume control

1.  When the ignition is switched ON (engine off or on), the front body control module (FBCM) turns the blower relay on (1).

2.  When the airflow volume setting on the climate control unit is turned on (2), the blower motor (3) rotates.

3.  The climate control unit performs airflow volume determination (5) based on the airflow volume setting and the signals from each sensor (4).

4.  Based on the result of the airflow volume determination and correction, the climate control unit control the blower fan controller (6) and changes the airflow volume (blower motor applied voltage).

5.  The rotation speed of the blower motor (7) changes according to the applied voltage from the blower fan controller.

Airflow mode control

1.  The climate control unit performs airflow mode determination (2) based on the airflow mode setting (1).

2.  The climate control unit drives the airflow mode actuator (3) according to the results of the airflow mode determination and corrections.

3.  The climate control unit detects the current airflow mode actuator opening angle based on the potentiometer voltage (4).

4.  The climate control unit compares (5) the target actuator voltage value with the voltage from the potentiometer.

5.  When the potentiometer voltage value differs from the target actuator voltage value, the climate control unit drives (6) the airflow mode actuator motor.

6.  When the potentiometer voltage value matches (7) the target actuator voltage value, the climate control unit stops (8) the airflow mode actuator motor.

Air intake control (potentiometer type air intake actuator)

1.  The climate control unit performs air intake mode determination (2) based on the signals (1) from the air intake setting and the vehicle conditions.

2.  The climate control unit drives the air intake actuator (3) according to the result of the air intake mode determination and corrections.

3.  The climate control unit detects the current air intake actuator opening angle based on the potentiometer voltage (4).

4.  The climate control unit compares (5) the target actuator voltage value with the voltage from the potentiometer.

5.  When the potentiometer voltage value differs from the target actuator voltage value, the climate control unit drives (6) the air intake actuator motor.

6.  When the potentiometer voltage value matches (7) the target actuator voltage value, the climate control unit stops (8) the air intake actuator motor.

Air intake control (mechanical lock type air intake actuator)

1.  The climate control unit performs air intake mode determination (2) based on the signals (1) from the air intake setting and the vehicle conditions.

2.  The climate control unit drives the air intake actuator (3) according to the result of the air intake mode determination and corrections.

3.  When the air intake actuator moves to FRESH or REC, the motor locks (4).

4.  When the motor locks and is under excessive load, the current value flowing from the climate control unit increases more than the specification (lock current).

5.  When the lock current (5) is detected, the climate control unit stops the motor drive signal (6) to the air intake actuator.

A/C compressor control

1.  The climate control unit performs A/C compressor mode determination (2) based on the signals (1) from each sensor which change according to the A/C setting and the vehicle conditions.

2.  The climate control unit sends (3) the A/C signal to the PCM according to the result of the A/C compressor mode determination and corrections.

3.  The PCM turns the A/C relay on (4) based on the signals from each sensor which change according to the A/C signal and the vehicle conditions.

4.  When the A/C relay turns on, the magnetic clutch turns on (5).

Air conditioner i-stop control (With i-stop)

i-stop request control (i-stop (engine stop control) permit/ i-stop (engine stop control) inhibit)

•  The climate control unit sends i-stop (engine stop control) permit or inhibit request signals to the front body control module (FBCM) according to the operation condition of the air conditioner system.

i-stop (engine stop control) inhibit request

•  The climate control unit sends an i-stop (engine stop control) inhibit request signal to the front body control module (FBCM) when it detects any of the following conditions:

i-stop (engine stop control) inhibit conditions

i-stop (engine stop control) permit request

•  When the climate control unit sends an i-stop (engine stop control) permit signal to the front body control module (FBCM) if the i-stop (engine stop control) inhibit conditions are not detected.

A/C control start during i-stop (engine stop control)

•  If the climate control unit determines that the engine is stopped based on an i-stop status signal sent from the PCM when A/C is stopped by i-stop control, the climate control unit starts A/C control in conjunction with the engine stop condition.

•  If the engine is stopped during A/C control, the A/C compressor magnetic clutch turns off and the A/C indicator light remains in an illuminated condition. When the engine is restarted, the A/C compressor magnetic clutch turns on again.

•  If the engine is stopped while the PTC heater is operating, the PTC heater turns off. When the engine is re-started, the PTC heater returns to normal control.
