55-3 GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION The blower, heater, and evaporator have been integrated with the heater and A/C system to achieve greater fan power and noise reduction Item Specification Heater control assembly Dial type Compressor mode MSC90CAS Compressor type Scroll type Refrigerant and quantity g (oz) R-134a (HFC-134a), 480 520 (169 183) SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING Wear safety goggles and gloves when servicing the refrigeration system to prevent severe damage to eyes and hands Because R-134a refrigerant is a hydro fluorocarbon (HFC) which contains hydrogen atoms in place of chlorine atoms, it will not cause damage to the ozone layer Ozone filters out harmful radiation from the sun To assist in protecting the ozone layer, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recommends an R-134a refrigerant recycling device Refrigerant R-134a is transparent and colorless in both the liquid and vapor state Since it has a boiling point of 298 C ( 2164 F) at atmospheric pressure, it will be a vapor at all normal temperatures and pressures The vapor is heavier than air, non-flammable, and non-explosive The following precautions must be observed when handling R-134a WARNING Do not heat R-134a above 40 C (1040 F) or it may catch fire and explode R-134a evaporates so rapidly at normal atmospheric pressures and temperatures that it tends to freeze anything it contacts For this reason, extreme care must be taken to prevent any liquid refrigerant from contacting the skin and especially the eyes Always wear safety goggles when servicing the refrigeration part of the A/C system Keep a bottle of sterile mineral oil handy when working on the refrigeration system 1 Should any liquid refrigerant get into your eyes, use a few drops of mineral oil to wash them out R-134a is rapidly absorbed by the oil 2 Next, splash your eyes with plenty of cold water 3 Call your doctor immediately even if irritation has ceased M1552023500112 CAUTION Keep R-134a containers upright when charging the system In most instances, moderate heat is required to bring the pressure of the refrigerant in its container above the pressure of the system when charging or adding refrigerant A bucket or large pan of hot water not over 40 C (1040 F) is all the heat required for this purpose Do not heat the refrigerant container with a blow torch or any other means that would raise temperature and pressure above this temperature Do not weld or steam-clean on or near the system components or refrigerant lines WARNING The leak detector for R-134a should be used to check for refrigerant gas leaks CAUTION Do not allow liquid refrigerant to touch bright metal or it will be stained When metering R-134a into the refrigeration system, keep the supply tank or cans in an upright position If the refrigerant container is on its side or upside down, liquid refrigerant will enter the system and damage the compressor Refrigerant will tarnish bright metal and chrome surfaces, and in combination with moisture can severely corrode all metal surfaces OPERATION CONDENSER FAN AND RADIATOR FAN CONTROL The ECM judges the required revolution speed of radiator fan motor and condenser fan motor using the input signals transmitted from A/C switch or vehicle speed sensor (VSS) <M/T> and engine coolant temperature sensor
55-4 COMPRESSOR CONTROL When operating the A/C switch The fin thermo sensor, which senses the temperature of the air flowing out of the evaporator, deactivates the compressor at 1 C (338 F) or below The dual pressure switch turns OFF when the refrigerant pressure becomes excessively high or low, thus protecting the compressor circuit (See Table below) A/C Compressor Clutch Relay ON Conditions GENERAL INFORMATION When the fin thermo sensor is activated, and the ignition switch, blower switch, and A/C switch are ON, the A/C compressor clutch relay is energized When operating the mode selection dial The A/C will work when the mode selection dial is set to the "Defroster" or "Defroster/foot" position, or the temperature control dial is set to the "MAX A/C" position In other dial positions, when the A/C switch is turned on, the A/C will work Ignition switch (IG2) ON NOTE: A/C compressor clutch relay is Blower switch ON de-energized when any one switch, sensor or control unit shown on the left turns off A/C switch, mode selection dial defroster, ON defroster/foot position or temperature control MAX NOTE: The components marked by * A/C communicate with the ECM If the air thermo sensor detects a temperature of 1 C Fin thermo sensor * (338 F), the A/C-ECU will turn off the A/C ON compressor clutch relay Pressure detected by A/C pressure sensor 294 MPa (427psi) or less (If the refrigerant pressure exceeds 294 MPa (427psi), A/C compressor clutch relay is not ON condition until the refrigerant pressure has been measured up to 235 MPa (341psi) a or less) 019 MPa (27psi) or more (If the refrigerant pressure falls short of 019 MPa (27psi), A/C compressor clutch relay is not ON condition until the refrigerant pressure has been measured up to 022 MPa (32psi) or more) A/C compressor clutch relay driving transistor (within powertrain control module) ON
