Control Panel
This system is actually made up of two separate climate control systems housed side by side.
There are some components which are shared in both systems. These are:
- Blower and blower speed controls.
- A/C compressor.
- Evaporator.
- Interior air temperature sensor.
- Program buttons for defrosting, air conditioning and recirculation.
Regulation of the systems outputs are controlled by a single control unit. These outputs are based on the various inputs given to the control unit.
Inputs:
- Desired temperature (both sides).
- Desired blower speed.
- Program selected (defrost, air conditioner, recirculation).
- Air distribution (both sides).
- Rear window defogger.
- Interior air temperature.
- Vehicle speed.
- Evaporator temperature.
- Heater core temperature (both sides).
- Engine starting mode.
