Defroster Control

1. When the airflow mode selector dial is turned to DEFROSTER position, a wire moves the airflow mode main

link, turning the airflow mode to DEFROSTER.

2. The defroster switch turns on at the same time, and the CPU sends a signal to turn the air intake mode to

FRESH.

3. The air intake actuator operates and turns the air intake mode to FRESH.

CONTROL SYSTEM

A/C Compressor Control

•

The center panel sends an A/C signal to the PCM via the refrigerant pressure switch based on signals sent
from the A/C switch, fan switch and evaporator temperature sensor.

•

The PCM controls the A/C relay and IAC valve based on the input signal from the center panel.

.

A/C signal on/off control

•

The center panel turns the A/C signal (magnetic clutch) on and off based on the temperature of the air passing
through the evaporator when the A/C and fan switches are on. This keeps the evaporator surface temperature
within the specified range, preventing the evaporator from freezing while the fan switch and A/C switch are
turned on.
