Ambient Temperature Display System

DESCRIPTION

The thermistor assembly is installed in front of the cooler condenser assembly to detect the ambient temperature, which is used to control the automatic air conditioning system. The thermistor assembly detects fluctuations in the ambient temperature and sends it as a signal to the combination meter assembly. This data is used for controlling the cabin temperature. The resistance of the thermistor assembly changes in accordance with the ambient temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases. The combination meter assembly applies voltage (5 V) to the thermistor assembly and detects voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the thermistor assembly.

NOTICE:

The thermistor assembly detects the ambient temperature in its vicinity, not the ambient temperature around the vehicle. Depending on factors such as radiant heat from the engine room and the vehicle speed, the ambient temperature detected by the thermistor assembly may differ from the ambient temperature displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly. For example:

  • When the vehicle is stopped or being driven at low speeds, the displayed ambient temperature will not be updated to a higher temperature to adjust for and minimize the influence of radiant heat from the engine room on the automatic air conditioning system control. When the vehicle is not being driven at low speeds, the adjustment is performed, but updating of the displayed ambient temperature to a higher temperature is delayed. The displayed ambient temperature will be updated to a lower temperature regardless of the vehicle speed.
  • When the ambient temperature around the thermistor assembly suddenly changes due to any reason other than radiant heat from the engine room, such as when the vehicle enters or exits a garage or tunnel, the actual ambient temperature of the vehicle and the displayed ambient temperature may differ or changing of the displayed value may be delayed.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • Before performing an inspection, move the vehicle to an area where all of the following conditions are met:
    • The ambient temperature changes little.
    • The ground temperature is low.
    • There are no heat sources, such as a stove, another vehicle with its engine running or an exhaust duct, near.
  • Perform the following procedure with the engine switch on (IG). Do not start the engine.

NOTICE:

After turning the engine switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

Click here

HINT:

The air conditioning amplifier assembly stores the value of the last ambient temperature detected by the thermistor assembly before the engine switch was turned off for up to 1 hour after the engine switch is turned off. It is necessary to clear this value.

(b) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(c) Measure and make a note of the ambient temperature near the thermistor assembly using a thermometer.

NOTICE:

  • Perform the following procedure with the engine switch on (IG).
  • Wait at least 6 minutes for the values of the thermistor assembly and thermometer to become stable before taking a measurement.
  • Hold the thermometer 50 mm (1.97 in.) from the thermistor assembly with its sensing portion at the same height and perpendicular to the thermistor assembly.
  • Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensing portion may change the resistance value.
  • When measuring the ambient temperature with a thermometer, do not move the thermometer, touch the sensing portion or allow it to contact the vehicle body.

(d) Make a note of the ambient temperature displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly.

(e) Compare the value of the ambient temperature measured by the thermometer and the thermistor assembly.

Air Mix Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (Passenger Side) (B1441,B1443,B1446)

DESCRIPTION

  • B1441: The No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side air mix) sends pulse signals to inform the air conditioning amplifier assembly of the damper position. The air conditioning amplifier assembly activates the motor (normal or reverse) based on these signals to move the No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (front passenger side air mix) to the appropriate position. This adjusts the amount of air passing through the heater core after passing the evaporator and controls the temperature of the output air. The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly.
  • B1443: The No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (mode) sends pulse signals to inform the air conditioning amplifier assembly of the damper position. The air conditioning amplifier assembly activates the motor (normal or reverse) based on these signals to move the air outlet damper to the appropriate position, which controls the air outlet switching. The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly.
  • B1446: The No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (driver side air mix) sends pulse signals to inform the air conditioning amplifier assembly of the damper position. The air conditioning amplifier assembly activates the motor (normal or reverse) based on these signals to move the No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly (driver side air mix) to the appropriate position. As a result, the amount of air passing through the heater core after passing through the evaporator is adjusted, and the temperature of the air blowing toward the driver side is controlled. The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the servo through a communication/driver IC and wiring assembly called the air conditioning harness assembly.

DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED AREA OR NEAR AN OPEN FLAME

*a

Charging Cylinder

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION

BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET LIQUID REFRIGERANT IN YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN

If liquid refrigerant gets in your eyes or on your skin.

(a) Wash the area with lots of cold water.

CAUTION:

Do not rub your eyes or skin.

(b) Apply clean petroleum jelly to the skin.

(c) Go immediately to a hospital or see a physician for professional treatment.

NEVER HEAT CONTAINER OR EXPOSE CONTAINER TO AN OPEN FLAME

BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP CONTAINER OR APPLY PHYSICAL SHOCKS TO IT

DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT ENOUGH REFRIGERANT IN REFRIGERANT SYSTEM

If there is not enough refrigerant in the air conditioning system, oil lubrication will be insufficient and the compressor may be damaged.

Necessary care should be taken to avoid this.

DO NOT OPEN HIGH PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE WHILE COMPRESSOR IS OPERATING

*a

Wrong

*b

Okay

Open and close only the low pressure valve.

If the high pressure valve is opened, refrigerant will flow in the reverse direction causing the charging cylinder to rupture.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE SYSTEM WITH REFRIGERANT

If the system is overcharged with refrigerant, it causes problems such as insufficient cooling, poor fuel economy, engine overheating, etc.

DO NOT OPERATE ENGINE AND COMPRESSOR WITH NO REFRIGERANT

CAUTION:

Doing so may damage the inside of the compressor because the compressor parts always move regardless of whether the air conditioning system is turned on or off.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary notices.

GENERAL PRECAUTION

While using the battery during inspection, do not bring the positive (+) and negative (-) tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.

Problem Symptoms Table

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE

HINT:

  • Use the table below to help determine the cause of problem symptoms. If multiple suspected areas are listed, the potential causes of the symptoms are listed in order of probability in the "Suspected Area" column of the table. Check each symptom by checking the suspected areas in the order they are listed. Replace parts as necessary.
  • Inspect the fuses and relays related to this system before inspecting the suspected areas below.

VEHICLE CHECK ITEMS

HINT:

  • You can reduce the number of systems to check by using the results of the following operation check
  • Perform the following checks based on Customer Feedback and the vehicle condition.
  • The customer's opinion may not be consistent with the actual problem (eg: the cooling performance of the air conditioner is bad → actually, the wind volume is weak). It is important to check the problem symptoms accurately and judge correctly based on various sources of information.
  • Judgment as to whether the air conditioner panel is normal or abnormal can be judged by checking if the indicator illuminates or turns off when the switch is operated.
  • During servo motor initialization, the AUTO indicator light comes on, and then goes off when initialization has finished.
  • If the performance of the air conditioner is poor or there is a foul odor, check for clogging in the clean air filter.

Weak Blower Output

DESCRIPTION

If the airflow from the front registers is weak regardless of the blower speed setting displayed on the air conditioning control panel (radio and display receiver assembly), the following factors may be the cause.

Symptom

Factor

  • Airflow volume is constantly low
  • Airflow volume sometimes becomes low
  • Blower motor with fan sub-assembly malfunction
  • ECO mode control of air conditioning system is enabled
  • Clogged clean air filter
  • Clogged No. 1 cooler evaporator sub-assembly or heater radiator unit sub-assembly fins
  • No. 1 cooler thermistor malfunction
  • Aspirator not connected properly

3.

CHECK ECO MODE CONTROL OPERATION

(a) Operate the ECO switch assembly (electric parking brake switch assembly) and check that the ECO mode indicator turns off and the blower speed reduction is canceled.

HINT:

  • When ECO mode control is operating, the air conditioning amplifier assembly controls the air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency. Therefore, explain to the customer that, when ECO mode control is operating, the blower speed will be reduced.

    Control

    Outline

    Blower Control

    When the air conditioning system is in AUTO mode, the blower speed will be reduced to a certain speed. Additionally, if warm-up control is operating, the blower speed will be further reduced.

    Air Inlet Control

    If the ambient temperature is a certain value or more, the air inlet mode will be changed to recirculation mode.

  • In some situations, ECO mode control may not operate even though it is enabled.

Result

Proceed to

ECO mode indicator turns off and blower speed reduction is canceled
