Inspection Flow:






SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. controls compressor operation by ambient temperature, intake air temperature and signal from ECM.

Low Temperature Protection Control
Unified meter and A/C amp. will turn compressor ON or OFF as determined by a signal detected by ambient sensor and intake sensor.




When ambient temperature is higher than -2 °C (28 °F), the compressor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when ambient temperature is lower than -5 °C (23 °F).




When intake air temperature is higher than 1 °C (34 °F), the compressor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when intake air temperature is lower than -5 °C (23 °F).

COMPONENT INSPECTION







Refrigerant Pressure Sensor
The refrigerant pressure sensor is attached to the liquid tank.
Make sure that the A/C refrigerant pressure and the sensor output voltage are within the specified range as shown in the A/C operating condition figure.
