HVAC Control Description

Temperature Control
HVAC control module calculates the target temperature
control door position based on signals from the
temperature selector, inside air temperature sensor,
outside air temperature sensor and sunload sensor and
controls the temperature control actuator so that the
current position of the temperature control door matches
its target position.
Fan Speed Control
HVAC control module calculates the target blower fan
speed based on signals from the temperature selector,
inside air temperature sensor, outside air temperature
sensor, ECT sensor and sunload sensor, compares it
with the current blower fan speed inputted from the
blower motor controller to control the current blower fan
speed to the target level.
Air Flow Outlet Control
HVAC control module calculates the target temperature
control door position based on signals from the
temperature selector, inside air temperature sensor,
outside air temperature sensor, ECT sensor and sunload
sensor. Using thus obtained target temperature control
door position, it further calculates the target air flow
control door position and controls the air flow control
actuator so that the current air flow control door position
becomes the target position.
Air Intake Position Control
HVAC control module determines the position of the air
intake control door based on signals from the
temperature selector, inside air temperature sensor,
outside air temperature sensor and sunload sensor and
selects any of the following positions by controlling the
position of the air intake control door.
• FRESH position (FRE)
• RECIRCULATION position (REC)
• MIX position (MIX)
Air Conditioning System: Automatic Type 7B-39
A/C Compressor Relay Control
S7RW0A7221002
HVAC control module outputs A/C switch ON signal to
ECM via BCM when the vehicle state satisfy conditions
described below.
• A/C switch is ON
• Evaporator temperature is higher than specified value
• Evaporator temperature sensor malfunction is not
detected
Communication of ECM and BCM is established by CAN
(Controller Area Network). (For more detail of CAN
communication, refer to "CAN Communication System
Description in Section 1A").
ECM turns ON the A/C compressor relay when the
vehicle state satisfy conditions described below.
• A/C switch ON signal is inputted
• A/C refrigerant pressure is within specified range
• Engine speed is within specified range
• Engine coolant temperature is lower than specified
value
• Throttle opening is lower than specified value
• Vehicle is not in either state of starting or quick
acceleration
• ECT sensor malfunction is not detected
• A/C refrigerant pressure sensor malfunction is not
detected
Condenser Cooling Fan Relay Control
ECM turn ON the condenser cooling fan relay at the
same time when ECM turn ON the A/C compressor
relay.
