NOTE:
*2···The inlet opening temperature can be judged correctly only in the range from 30 to 35°C {86 to 95°F}. If the temperature is low, postpone the test.
*3···If the condenser pressure (gauge high pressure side) is high, reduce the pressure by watering the condenser. If it is too low, increase the pressure by placing a cover over the condenser.
(3) Place a wet-and-dry-bulb thermometer (necessary for humidity) at the inlet opening and measure the temperature by inserting the bulb of the dry thermometer at the center of the outlet opening.
(4) Operate the air conditioner under the conditions in [*1] to make the outlet opening temperature stable. (About 5 to 6 minutes)
(5) Measure the dry and wet bulb temperatures at the inlet opening and the temperature at the outlet opening.
(6) Apply the measurement values of the dry/wet bulb temperatures at the inlet opening to the air diagram to obtain the relative humidity.

Circuit description
The cooler thermistor (in-vehicle sensor) is installed on the instrument panel. It is used to detect the passenger compartment temperature and to control “AUTO” of the heater & air conditioner. The resistance of the cooler thermistor (in-vehicle sensor) varies along with change of the passenger compartment temperature. When the passenger compartment temperature is low, the resistance is high. In contrast, when the passenger compartment temperature is high, the resistance is small. The air conditioner control ASSY gives voltage output (5 V) to the cooler thermistor (in-vehicle sensor), and reads variation of voltage along with resistance change of the cooler thermistor (in-vehicle sensor).

Circuit description
The damper position of air conditioner radiator damper servo SUB-ASSY NO.5 (driver’s side) is detected by the air conditioner control ASSY. Based on this, the air conditioner control ASSY rotates the motor (forward or backward) to move air conditioner radiator damper servo SUB-ASSY NO.5 at the desired position. This adjusts the air flow rate in the heater core after the evaporator.

Circuit description
The automatic light control sensor is installed on the upper part of the instrument panel. It is used to detect sunload quantity and to control “AUTO” of the heater & air conditioner. The output current of the automatic light control sensor varies depending on the sunload quantity. When the sunload quantity is increased, the output current is large. In contrast, when the sunload quantity is reduced, the output current is small. The air conditioner control ASSY reads the current which is output from the automatic light control sensor.
