INSPECTION FLOW

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

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




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




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