    DESCRIPTION

    The Electronic Climate Control (ECC) system is an automatic A/C-heater system that monitors in-vehicle temperature through 2 sensors located in passenger compartment. One (solar) sensor is located on top of dashboard and senses sunlight. The second sensor is located in courtesy light fixture and senses temperature in center of vehicle.

    In addition to basic A/C-heater system components, system includes air intake temperature sensor, water (coolant) temperature sensor, servomotor and vacuum actuators. See Fig. 4.

    System is engaged when A/C button on control panel is pressed. See Fig. 1. Pressure switch on accumulator cycles compressor clutch on and off. Airflow modes are selected by center knob on control panel. Doors are controlled by vacuum motors on left side of heater case.

    OPERATION

    CONTROL PANEL

    The automatic A/C-heater system control panel permits manual operation of system by placing blower control knob or function selector knob in any position other than AUT (automatic). See Fig. 1.

    Blower fan may be automatically controlled by placing control knob in AUT position. Fan speed can also be manually controlled by placing control knob in any position except AUT or 0 (off) position.

    Function selector knob may be placed in defrost, vent, AUT, bi-level, or floor position. In AUT position, air distribution is automatically regulated. Air distribution may also be to floor, windshield and side windows.

    Temperature control knob may be used to select desired temperature. The recirculated air button may be pressed to recirculate passenger compartment air. This function, however, will not work in defrost position. Pressing A/C OFF button will turn automatic A/C system off.

    NOTE: Operational description of other components is not available from manufacturer. See Fig. 2.

    TROUBLE SHOOTING

    SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

    The EEC system incorporates a self-diagnostic function that indicates system faults through a series of trouble codes. The presence of fault(s) is indicated by flashing A/C OFF button. The control panel is programmed to enter a pre-programmed mode when a fault is detected. Under fault condition, control panel ignores the faulty signal, selects an alternative pre-programmed value and prevents delivery of faulty output signals.

    Entering Self-Diagnostics

    1. To enter mode, ensure engine is running. Shine a non-

      fluorescent, bright light on solar sensor. Place blower fan control knob in AUT position and function selector knob in vent position.

    2. Place temperature control knob to maximum cooling (pointing straight down). Ensure recirculated air switch is depressed and A/C OFF button is released. Depress and release A/C OFF button within 5 seconds to start self-diagnostic mode.

    3. Each fault code consists of 3 digits. For example, Code

      132 is displayed by a single flash of the A/C OFF button for the first digit (number 1). After a pause, the second digit of code (number 3) is indicated by 3 flashes. After another pause, the third digit of code (number 2) is indicated by 2 flashes. See TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION table.

    4. Three different fault codes may be stored in memory. However, only one code may be displayed upon request. It may be necessary to request display of fault codes a number of times to ensure all fault codes are displayed.

Exiting Self-Diagnostics & Clearing Codes

To exit self-diagnostics, turn ignition off. All codes are cleared when ignition is turned off. Fault codes are not stored in memory. Even if a code has occurred several times during a period of time, code will only be stored until ignition is turned off.
