A\/C<\/a> switch signals. The air outlet door, intake door and compressor magnet clutch are controlled by the manual operation of each switch.
\nWhen the engine coolant temperature is low, the air outlet door position is detected by the microswitch, if this is set in B\/L, FOOT or FOOT\/DEF blower speed is controlled to prevent cold air from being discharged into the floor area.
\nThe intake door control is selected by changing the REC switch position. The outlet door control is selected by changing the mode switch. When the A\/C switch is ON, the thermistor detects evaporator temperature. The thermo control amplifier controls compressor magnet clutch control operation depending on evaporator temperature.<\/p>\nSYSTEM COMPONENTS<\/h6>\n
Refer to Fig. 1<\/strong> for system component input and output controls and switch sensor usage combinations.<\/p>\nFig.1<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"2010-honda-civic-automatic-temperature-control-system-diagram\"](\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2010-honda-civic-automatic-temperature-control-system-diagram.png\")
<\/strong>
\nAir Mix Door Motor<\/strong><\/p>\nThe air mix door motor rotates so that the air mix door is opened to a position set by the auto amplifier. Motor rotation is sent through a shaft. The air mix door position is fed back to the auto amplifier by P.B.R. built into the air mix door motor.
\nAmbient Temperature Sensor
\nThis sensor transforms ambient temperature into a resistance value which is input to the automatic amplifier.<\/p>\n
Automatic Amplifier<\/strong><\/p>\nThis amplifier has a built in microcomputer enabling it to accept data and provide precise system control which is necessary for driving the automatic air conditioner mode. This microcomputer has a self-diagnosis mode program.<\/p>\n
Automatic Amp. Relay<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen the A\/C and fan switch are ON, the auto amp. relay operates and transmits A\/C operation signals to the auto amplifier.
\nIn-Vehicle Sensor
\nThese sensors convert the temperature value of inside air which is drawn through the aspirator fan, into a resistance value which is input to the automatic amplifier. The head level sensor detects upper half body level temperature and the foot level sensor detects foot level temperature.<\/p>\n
Microswitch<\/strong><\/p>\nThe microswitch is at the side link of the heater unit and operates the link in response to the position of the mode switch.
\nPotentiometer Temperature Control (P.T.C.)
\nThe P.T.C. is used to set desired in-vehicle temperature.<\/p>\n
Fan Control Amplifier<\/strong><\/p>\nThe amplifier controls main radiator fan speed (HI or LO) according to base current transmitted from the automatic amplifier when the compressor operates.<\/p>\n
Sunload Sensor<\/strong><\/p>\nThis sensor is located in the right defroster grille assembly. It transforms sunlight into a current value, which is then input to the auto amplifier.<\/p>\n
Water Temperature Sensor<\/strong><\/p>\nThis sensor converts water temperature value at heater core entrance into resistance value, then inputs voltage that varies according to resistance value change into the auto amp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
