5. AIR OUTLET CONTROL SYSTEM
The air outlet control system automatically selects the most appropriate air outlet combination depending on the ECM-calculated TAO by
activating servo-motors for the VENT; BI-LEVEL or HEAT modes.
When the OFF switch is pressed position, the air outlet control system is held in the HEAT mode.
6. COMPRESSOR CONTROL SYSTEM
In the automatic air-conditioning mode, the A/C relay is activated or deactivated depending on the TAO (required blow-out air temperature), TAM
(ambient temperature) and T INT (suction air temperature) to operate or stop the compressor.
The compressor operation circuit supplies current to the magnet clutch as the ECM activates the A/C relay by connecting its coil to the ground.
