Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation

A/C Compressor Control

PURPOSE

A/C compressor delay control prevents air conditioning compressor operation for about 0.5 seconds after the system is turned on. The system also
momentarily interrupts compressor clutch operation during sudden acceleration of heavy engine loads.

OPERATION

This circuit cuts air conditioning operation during vehicle acceleration in order to increase acceleration performance. During acceleration with the
vehicle speed at 25 km/h (16 mph) or less, engine speed at 1,600 rpm or less and throttle valve opening angle at 600 or more, the A/C clutch
switch is turned OFF for several seconds.
