System Construction: Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Infiniti M45. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends mode door, air mix door and intake door opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door motor LCU and intake door motor LCU.

The mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amplifier and each of the motor position sensors are compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD, DEFROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The new selection data is returned to the auto amplifier.
