System Description
The A/C auto amp. controls compressor operation by ambient temperature, intake air temperature and signal from ECM.
SYSTEM OPERATION
When the A/C switch, the AUTO switch, or the DEF switch is pressed, or when shifting mode position to D/F, the A/C auto amp. transmits the A/C switch signal and blower fan motor switch signal to the ECM, via CAN communication.
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant-pressure sensor signal, throttle angle, etc.). If the ECM judges that the compressor can be turned ON, it sends A/C compressor request signal to the IPDM E/R, via CAN communication.
Upon receipt of A/C compressor request signal from the ECM, the IPDM E/R turns the A/C relay ON to operate the compressor.
When sending A/C compressor request signal to the IPDM E/R via CAN communication line, the ECM simultaneously sends A/C compressor feedback signal to A/C auto amp. via CAN communication line.
The ECM sends A/C compressor feedback signal to A/C auto amp., then, uses input A/C compressor feedback signal to control air inlet.
Compressor Protection Control The ECM makes the A/C relay turn OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high-pressure side, detected by the refrigerant pressure sensor, is over approximately 3,119 kPa (31.8 kg/cm2, 452 psi), or below approximately 118 kPa (1.2 kg/cm2, 17 psi).
Low Temperature Protection Control Turn the A/C relay to OFF and stop the A/C compressor by the signal from the A/C auto amp., according to the evaporator passing air temperature detected by the intake sensor and the ambient temperature detected by the ambient sensor.

System maintenance
The two radar sensors 1 for the BSW and
RCTA systems are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water, mist
or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused b ...
