Introduction Operation
The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends air mix door and mode door
AIR CONDITIONER LAN SYSTEM OVERVIEW CONTROL SYSTEM opening angle data to the air mix door motor LCU and mode door motor LCU.
The LAN system consists of auto amp., air mix door motor and mode door motor. The air mix door motor and mode door motor read their respective signals according to the address signal.
A configuration of these components is shown in the diagram below. Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amplifier and each of the motor position sensors are
compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently, HOT/
COLD or DEFROST/VENT operation is selected. The new selection data is returned to the auto amplifier.

Error data can be related to the following problems.
+ Abnormal electrical frequency
+ Poor electrical connections
+ Signal leakage from transmission lines
+ Signal level fluctuation
Stop signal: At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal problem message is
delivered to the auto amplifier. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.

Overview of Control System
The control system consists of input sensors, switches, the automatic amplifier (microcomputer) and outputs.
The relationship of these components is shown in the diagram below:

RHA442G

Air mix door control (Automatic temperature control)


The air mix door is automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.
Fan speed control
Blower speed is automatically controlled based on temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle
temperature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With FAN switch set to ‘‘AUTO’’, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
Intake door control
The intake doors are automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle
temperature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON-OFF operation of the compressor.
Outlet door control RHA732G

The outlet door is automatically controlled by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle
temperature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
Magnet clutch control
The ECM (ECCS control module) controls compressor operation using input signals from the throttle position
sensor and auto amplifier.
Self-diagnostic system
The self-diagnostic system is built into the auto amplifier (LCU) to quickly locate the cause of problems.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Automatic amplifier (Auto amp.)
The auto amplifier has a built-in microcomputer which processes
information sent from various sensors needed for air conditioner
operation. The air mix door motor, mode door motor, intake door
motor, blower motor and compressor are then controlled.
The auto amplifier is unitized with control mechanisms. Signals
from various switches and Potentio Temperature Control (PTC) are
directly entered into auto amplifier.
Self-diagnostic functions are also built into auto amplifier to provide
RHA629G
quick check of malfunctions in the auto air conditioner system.
Potentio temperature control (PTC)
The PTC is built into the A/C auto amp. It can be set at an interval
of 1°C in the 18°C to 32°C temperature range by turning the tem-
perature dial. The set temperature is digitally displayed.

Automatic mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the automatic amplifier based on inputs from RHA694G
the PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor. The blower motor applied
voltage ranges from approximately 5 volts (lowest speed) to 12 volts (highest speed).
The control blower speed (in the range of 5 to 12V), the automatic amplifier supplies a gate voltage to the fan
control amplifier. Based on this voltage, the fan control amplifier controls the voltage supplied to the blower
motor.
