DESCRIPTION

The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) system automaticallycontrols vehicle interior temperature according to temperaturesetting. The system regulates airflow direction, blower speed, freshair or recirculated air, and the amount of cool or warm air allowedinto system to achieve desired temperature.

The system consists of an ATC computer, blower motor, controlpanel, Power/Vacuum Module (PVM), in-car temperature sensor, andambient temperature sensor.

OPERATION

ATC COMPUTER

The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) computer is part ofthe control panel. It manages all automatic temperature controlelectrical conponents. The automatic temperature control computerprovides power to the Power/Vacuum Module (PVM) and the blend-air dooractuator according to desired temperature setting and airflowdirection.

BLEND-AIR DOOR ACTUATOR

Blend-air door actuator is an electric servomotor located onbottom of A/C-heater housing. The ATC computer activates the blend-airdoor actuator to open or close to proper position according totemperature setting.

CONTROL PANEL

Control panel allows operator to control various functions ofthe automatic temperature computer control by pushing buttons tochange system modes. Blower speed, temperature selected, airflowdirection, and A/C mode is displayed on control panel.

To change temperature display from Fahrenheit reading toCelsius or back, depress "AUTO" and defrost buttons at the same time.See Fig. 1.

Blower Speed Selector SwitchBlower speed selector button is a rocker type switch. If

registers. Control panel will display panel symbol (bi-level symbolwithout arrow pointing downward). See Fig. 1.

"AUTO" ButtonWith "AUTO" button depressed, air discharge and blower speed

are controlled automatically. Automatic temperature control range isfrom 65� F (18� C) to 85� F (29� C).

"FLOOR" ButtonWhen button is depressed, airflow is routed to floor outlets.

Control panel will display floor symbol (bi-level symbol without sidearrows). See Fig. 1.

Pressing "PANEL" and "FLOOR" buttons simultaneously willplace system in bi-level mode. Air is discharged through panel andfloor outlets in bi-level mode. Control panel will display bi-levelsymbol.

Defrost ButtonWhen button is depressed, airflow is routed to defroster

vents. Some airflow is routed to floor outlets. The A/C compressorwill operate when in this mode. Control panel will display defrost

A/C-HEATER SYSTEM - A

symbol. See Fig. 1.

Air Temperature Selector SwitchDepressing upper or lower end of air temperature selector

switch will raise or lower temperature setting. The range of comfortsettings are 65� F (18� C) to 85� F (29� C). At "65" and "85" the airtemperature doors lock in minimum or maximum heat positionsrepectively.

With air temperature and "AUTO" mode selected, control ofA/C-heater system is automatic. When vehicle is started, the systemadjusts to rapidly bring interior temperature to desired setting.

POWER/VACUUM MODULE (PVM)

The Power/Vacuum Module (PVM) is located in A/C-heaterhousing. See Fig. 2. The PVM receives control signals from ATCcomputer. The PVM, in turn, supplies vacuum to water valve, outsideair, recirculated air, and airflow direction actuators. The PVM alsosupplies voltage to compressor clutch and varies voltage to blowermotor.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The ambient temperature sensor is located on A/C-heaterhousing. See Figs. 2 and 3. The ambient temperature sensor providesthe ATC computer information to regulate low blower speed, cold enginelock-out time, temperature offsets, and mode control.

IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The in-car temperature sensor is part of the motorizedaspirator assembly that is mounted on instrument panel. See Figs. 2and 3. A small fan draws air from passenger compartment across sensor.The in-car sensor then signals the ATC computer which adjusts systemto maintain a constant passenger compartment temperature.

TESTING

ENTERING SELF-TEST & DIAGNOSTIC MODE

Pre-Test Preparation1) Determine if customer complaint is due to system failure

or improper operation of A/C-heater system. System may go into maximumheating or cooling mode if driver rapidly changes temperature settingby four or more digits.

2) Check coolant level, refrigerant charge, compressor drivebelt tension, vacuum hose connections, radiator airflow, radiator fanoperation, and in car-temperature sensor air suction before enteringself-test and diagnostic mode.

3) Bring engine to normal operating temperature and enterself-test and diagnostic mode. Always test the entire system afterrepairs have been performed (if necessary).

Entering Self-Test & Diagnostic ModeA self-test and diagnostic mode has been programmed into the

ATC computer. By depressing "AUTO", "FLOOR" and defrost buttons at thesame time, the computer will flash a failure code on control paneltemperature display. See Figs. 1 and 4.

The system will flash "75" on the control panel if system isokay. A full no failure test will take approximately 1 1/2 minutes.After each failure code is recorded (if any), depress the "PANEL"button to resume test cycle. At end of test cycle, the display willreturn to the selected temperature setting.
