Climate Control System Description - Overview 9353 http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/sm/1/2/Contents/enu/61TBAD/...

The climate control system transmits appropriate signals to each motor based on the information (sunlight, in-car temperature, outside
air temperature) received from each sensor. See below for details.
Air Mix Control Motor: The system controls the temperature of air coming into the cabin by the air mix control motor adjusting the
air mix control damper position in order to change the mixing ratio of warm and cold air.
Mode Control Motor: The system directs the airflow to the specified area by the mode control motor switching the mode control
damper position to the “VENT”, “HEAT/VENT”, “HEAT”, “HEAT/DEF”, or “DEF”.
Recirculation Control Motor: The recirculation control motor switches the recirculation control damper position to the “FRESH” or
“RECIRCULATION”.
Blower Motor: The blower motor changes the air volume based on the voltage adjusted by the blower power transistor.

The climate control unit optimizes these controls in order to maintain passenger comfort.

Relationship Between Vent (Air Outlet) Temperature and Actual In-Car Temperature
The climate control unit can automatically control vent temperature (air mix position), blower motor speed, blower intake, and A/C
compressor operation to raise or lower the vehicle's interior temperature to match the customer's setting temperature. The actual vent
outlet temperature largely depends upon the difference between the in-car temperature sensor reading and the customer's setting
temperature.
Warm-Up Control
If heating is desired, and there is no available heat due to low engine coolant temperature, the climate control unit will slow the fan
speed to avoid ventilating cold air. The climate control unit will gradually increase the fan speed as the engine coolant temperature

cardiagn.com
rises.

The conditions that this control becomes effective are as follows:


Fan speed “AUTO”
Air outlet position “AUTO”, “HEAT”, “HEAT/DEF”, or “DEF”
Outside air temperature is less than 68 °F (20 °C)
Engine coolant temperature sensor is normal.
Except Type-R: Engine coolant temperature is less than 149 °F (65 °C)
Type-R: Engine coolant temperature is less than 131 °F (55 °C)

Low Engine Coolant Temperature Control


When engine coolant temperature is low, the climate control system changes an air outlet position to the “DEF”. When the engine
coolant temperature increases, the climate control system controls the air outlet position and outlet air temperature automatically.
Relationship Between Vehicle Speed and Blower Intake Mode
Because the air resistance is different between fresh air and recirculated air, the volume of air coming through the vents would be
different if the fan speed was constant. When the recirculation control damper is set to “FRESH”, the fresh air flow increases as the
vehicle speed increases. The climate control unit regulates the fan speed so that the air volume is the same when “FRESH” or
“RECIRCULATION” mode is selected.
A/C Control
To prevent the evaporator from freezing, the climate control unit switches the A/C compressor ON and OFF based on the evaporator
temperature sensor value. While in the automatic operation mode, the climate control unit automatically varies the A/C compressor
operation time based on the evaporator temperature sensor value, as well as the outside air temperature.
MAX Control
When the temperature setting is adjusted to “MAX COOL (Lo)” or “MAX HOT (Hi)”, the climate control unit overrides automatic control
and defaults to the following operation:
MAX COOL
“RECIRCULATION”, “VENT”, blower fan maximum speed, and A/C system ON.
MAX HOT
“FRESH”, “HEAT*”, blower fan maximum speed, and A/C system ON.
*: If the sensor information indicates that the windshield may fog, the air outlet switches to “HEAT/DEF” automatically.

ECON Control
A/C compressor load control
Reduces load on A/C compressor by slightly raising the target temperature of the evaporator.

The climate control unit has a mode that displays the sensor inputs it receives. This mode shows
you what the climate control unit is receiving from each of the sensors, one at a time, and it can
help you determine if a sensor is faulty.
Checks Before Using the Sensor Input Display Mode
1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, and check the recirculation door function; press the
RECIRCULATION button to switch from FRESH to RECIRCLATE. The air volume and sound
should change slightly.

2. Set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL dial to the desired test temperature:

‘‘Lo’’ temperature setting will default to MAX COOL, VENT and RECIRCULATE (A/C on)
or FRESH (A/C off).
‘‘Hi’’ temperature setting will default to MAX HOT, HEAT, HEAT/DEF, and FRESH.

3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.


Run the Sensor Input Display Mode
1. Press and hold both the AUTO and RECIRCULATION buttons, then start the engine.

2. Release both buttons. The display screen goes directly to the A/C sensor display mode
shown. The display screen indicates the sensor ID and then the value for that sensor.

3. To advance to the next sensor, touch the sensor ID previous/next icon or press the REAR WINDOW
DEFOGGER/MIRROR DEFOGGER* button.

NOTE:
The sensor values will be displayed in degrees Celsius (°C) or an alphanumeric code. Use the chart to convert the
value to degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
If the sensor value displays ‘‘255’’, this indicates there is an open or short in the circuit or sensor. Check for DTCs
using the HDS, or use the climate control self-diagnostic function.
If necessary, compare the sensor input display to a known-good vehicle under the same test conditions.
If the sensor displayed value is out of the normal range, refer to the sensor test or substitute a known-good sensor,
and recheck.
Unsupported items shall be skipped.

Outside Air Temperature Indicator Calibration 4546 http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/sm/1/2/Contents/enu/61TBAD/R...

Outside Air Temperature Indicator Calibration

NOTE: To test the outside air temperature sensor, refer to the outside air temperature sensor test procedure.

1. Outside Air Temperature Indicator - Calibrate

Description

The outside air temperature sensor is located behind the


center of the front bumper. The gauge control module uses
measurements from this sensor to display the outside air
temperature.

Because of the location of the sensor, it may be affected by


heat reflection from the road, engine and radiator heat, or hot
exhaust from surrounding traffic.

cardiagn.com
These conditions can heat soak the outside air temperature
sensor and cause inaccurate readings. Logic has been written
into the gauge control module to help prevent abnormal or
fluctuating outside air temperature indicator readings.

Outside Air Temperature Indicator Logic

Engine coolant temperature 140 °F (60 °C) or higher:

If the engine coolant temperature is 140 °F (60 °C) or higher


when the vehicle is turned to the ON mode, the outside air
temperature shown the last time the key was turned off is
displayed regardless of the current temperature measured by
the outside air temperature sensor.

Engine coolant temperature less than 140 °F (60 °C):

If the engine coolant temperature is less than 140 °F (60 °C) or


lower when the vehicle is turned to the ON mode, the current
temperature measured by the outside air temperature sensor
is indicated.

Information Update to the Outside Air


Temperature Indicator While Driving

Engine coolant temperature 140 °F (60 °C) or higher:

If the temperature measured by the outside air temperature


sensor is greater than the temperature on the outside air
temperature indicator, the outside temperature indicator will
increase by 1 °F (1 °C) per minute after the vehicle speed is

greater than 19 mph (30 km/h) for more than 1 minute and 30
seconds. It continues to increase until the current outside air
temperature is indicated. So, the first change to the outside air
temperature indicator is 1 minute and 30 seconds after the
vehicle speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h). If the vehicle speed
drops below 19 mph (30 km/h), the indicator does not update
again until the vehicle speed has increased to 19 mph (30
km/h) or more for more than 1 minute and 30 seconds again.

Engine coolant temperature less than 140 °F (60 °C):

If the outside air temperature is less than the indicated


temperature, the temperature decreases 1 °F (1 °C) every 2
seconds until the current outside air temperature indicated
regardless of vehicle speed.

Fahrenheit: Troubleshooting

If the indicator displays ― ― ―°F (― ― ―°C) for more than 2

3. While in the vehicle setting mode, select "METER SETUP". Then select "ADJUST OUTSIDE TEMP. DISPLAY", and calibrate
the value with the SEL/RESET switch and the INFORMATION switch.

cardiagn.com
4. When the desired correction value appears on the display, release the button, and the recalibrated outside air temperature will
be displayed.

NOTE: The recalibration temperature is not the value the sensor sees. Therefore the temperature can only be adjusted ± 5 °F
(± 3 °C) from the sensors.

Example:
Incorrect value = 68 °F (20 °C)

Desired correction value = +2 °F (+1 °C)


Correct value = 70 °F (21 °C)

Desired correction value = -2 °F (-1 °C)


Correct value = 66 °F (19 °C)

NOTE: To recalibrate the display to the true temperature, remove the outside air temperature sensor (A), but leave it
connected. Submerge the sensor and a thermometer (B) in a container of ice water (C). Select the calibration mode as
described above, then recalibrate the display to the true temperature.
