AIR CONDITIONING – AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.GENERAL
The air conditioning system has the following controls:
This control is capable of effecting complex control by artificially
simulating the information processing method of the nervous system
of living organisms in order to establish a complex input / output
relationship that is similar to a human brain.
The A/C amplifier controls the damper positions (air inlet control
damper, air mix control damper and mode control damper) and blower
speed in accordance with the positions of the switches (temperature
control switch, blower switch, mode select switch and air inlet control
switch).
Based on the temperature set at the temperature control switch, the
neural network control calculates the outlet air temperature based on
the input signals from various sensors.
The temperature setting for the driver and front passenger are
controlled independently in order to provide a separate vehicle interior
temperatures for the right and left side of the cabin. Thus, air
conditioning that accommodates the occupants' preferences has been
realized.
Controls the blower motor in accordance with the airflow volume that
has been calculated by the neural network control based on the input
signals from various sensors.
Automatically switches the air outlets in accordance with the outlet
mode that has been calculated by the neural network control based on
the input signals from various sensors.
In accordance with the engine coolant temperature, outside air
temperature, amount of sunlight, required blower, outlet temperature,
and vehicle speed conditions, this control automatically switches the
blower outlet to the FOOT / DEF mode to prevent the windows from
becoming fogged when the outside air temperature is low.
Automatically controls the air inlet control damper to achieve the
calculated required outlet air temperature.
Drives the servo motor (for air inlet) according to the operation of the
air inlet control switch and moves the dampers to the FRESH or
RECIRC position.
Through the calculation of the target evaporator temperature based on
various sensor signals, the A/C amplifier optimally controls the
discharge capacity by regulating the opening extent of the A/C
compressor solenoid valve.
The A/C amplifier compares the A/C pulley speed signals, which are
transmitted by the lock sensor located on the A/C compressor, with
the engine speed signals, which are transmitted by the ECM
(crankshaft position sensor). When the A/C amplifier determines that
the A/C pulley is locked, it turns off the magnetic clutch. (for 2GR-FE)
When the temperature control switch is in the MAX A/C position, the
A/C amplifier turns the compressor on and activates the servomotor
(air inlet) to set the air inlet control damper to the RECIRC position,
improving the cooling efficiency.
Switches the rear defogger and outside rear view mirror heaters on for
15 minutes when the rear defogger button is pressed. Switches them
off if the button is pressed while they are operating.
Calculates the outside temperature using signals transmitted by the
outside temperature sensor. Calculated values are corrected by the A/
C amplifier and then indicated on the multi-information display.
A DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) is stored in the memory when the A/
C amplifier detects a problem with the air conditioning system.

AIR CONDITIONING – AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
2.NEURAL NETWORK CONTROL
• In previous automatic air conditioning systems, the A/
C amplifier determined the required outlet air
temperature and blower air volume in accordance
with the calculation formula that has been obtained
based on information received from the sensors.
However, because the senses of a person are rather
complex, a given temperature is sensed differently,
depending on the environment in which the person is
situated. For example, a given amount of solar
radiation can feel comfortably warm in a cold climate,
or extremely uncomfortable in a hot climate.
Therefore, as a technique for effecting a higher level
of control, a neural network has been adopted in the
automatic air conditioning system. With this
technique, the data that has been collected under
varying environmental conditions is stored in the A/C
amplifier. The A/C amplifier can then effect control to
provide enhanced air conditioning comfort.
•The neural network control consists of neurons in the
input layer, intermediate layer, and output layer. The
input layer neurons process the input data of the
outside temperature, the amount of sunlight, and the
room temperature based on the outputs of the
switches and sensors, and output them to the
intermediate layer neurons. Based on this data, the
intermediate layer neurons adjust the strength of the
links among the neurons. The sum of these is then
calculated by the output layer neurons in the form of
the required outlet temperature, solar correction,
target airflow volume, and outlet mode control
volume. Accordingly, the A/C amplifier controls the
servo motors and blower motor in accordance with
the control volumes that have been calculated by the
neural network control.

5.PLASMACLUSTER ION GENERATOR CONTROL
(a) General:
(1) A Plasmacluster ion generator is provided inside
the air duct of the side register on the driver seat
side to improve the air quality and comfort in the
cabin.
(2) This generator is controlled by the A/C amplifier
and operates in conjunction with the blower
motor.
NOTICE:
•The Plasmacluster ion generator uses a
high voltage, which is hazardous.
Therefore, if the Plasmacluster ion
generator requires repairs, be sure to
have them done at a TOYOTA dealer.
AIR CONDITIONING – AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
•Do not apply any type of spray (such as a
cleaning solvent or hair spray) or stick
any foreign matter into the Plasmacluster
ion outlet, as this could cause improper
operation or a malfunction.
•After use, dust may accumulate around
the side register on the driver seat side. If
this occurs, press the OFF switch on the
heater control panel to stop the blower
motor before cleaning the area.
•It is normal for the Plasmacluster ion
generator to emit a slight sound during
operation. This sound is created when
electrons collide with the electrode while
Plasmacluster ions are being generated.
HINT:
Plasmacluster
plasmacluster ions are a trademark of the
SHARP Corporation.
(b) Operation:
(1) The Plasmacluster ion generator produces
positive and negative ions from the water
molecules (H2O) and oxygen molecules (O2) in
the air, and emits them into the air. These ions
reduce airborne germs.

9.A/C COMPRESSOR
(a) General
(1) The A/C compressor is a continuously variable
capacity type in which its capacity ca n be varied
in accordance with the cooling load of the air
conditioning.
(3) The A/C pulley with built-in magnetic clutch and
the lock sensor that detects whether the
magnetic clutch is locked are installed on
models with the 2GR-FE.
(4) The DL (Damper Limiter) type A/C pulley is
installed on models with the 2AZ-FE.
(5) A solenoid valve that adjusts the suction
pressure so that the compressor capacity can be
controlled as desired is provided.
AIR CONDITIONING – AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
(6) The internal valve is provided on models with
2AZ-FE to improve the A/C compressor
durability under the high speed and large
thermal load conditions. The internal valve is
integrated into the solenoid valve.
(b) Solenoid Valve Operation
(1) The crank chamber is connected to the
discharge passage. A solenoid valve is provided
between the discharge passage (LO pressure)
and the discharge passage (HI pressure).
(2) The solenoid valve operates under duty cycle
control in accordance with the signals from A/C
amplifier.
(3) When the solenoid valve closes (solenoid coil is
energized), a difference in pressure is created
and the pressure in the crank chamber
decreases. Then, the pressure that is applied to
the right side of the piston becomes greater than
the pressure that is applied to the left side of the
piston. This compresses the spring and tilts the
swash plate. As a result, the piston stroke
increases and the discharge capacity increases.
(4) When the solenoid valve opens (solenoid coil is
not energized), the difference in pressure
disappears. Then, the pressure that is applied to
the left side of the piston becomes the same as
the pressure that is applied to the right side of
the piston. Thus, the spring elongates and
eliminates the tilt of the swash plate. As a result,
there is no piston stroke and the discharge
capacity is reduced.
(c) Internal Valve Operation (for 2AZ-FE)
(1) The internal valve operates when the A/C
compressor speed has increased rapidly, the A/
C compressor speed is high, or when thermal
load has suddenly changed. As a result, the A/C
compressor capacity is reduced, increasing the
durability of the A/C compressor.
(d) DL type A/C Pulley (for 2AZ-FE)
(1) This pulley contains a damper to absorb the
torque fluctuations of the engine and a limiter
mechanism to protect the drive belt in case the
compressor locks. In the event that the
compressor locks, the limiter mechanism causes
the spoke portion of the pulley to break, thus
separating the pulley from the compressor.
10. LOCK SENSOR (for 2GR-FE)
The lock sensor sends A/C pulley speed signals to the A/
C amplifier. The A/C amplifier determines whether the
magnetic clutch is locked or not by using those signals
and engine speed signals.

11. ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR (for AUTO A/C)
The room temperature sensor detects the cabin
temperature based on changes in the resistance of its

12. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The ambient temperature sensor detects the outside
temperature based on changes in the resistance of its
built-in thermistor and sends a signal to the A/C
amplifier.
13. SOLAR SENSOR (for AUTO A/C)
(a) The solar sensor consists of a photo diode, two
amplifier circuits for the solar sensor , and frequency
converter circuit for the light control sensor.
(b) A solar sensor detects (in the form of changes in the
current that flows through the built-in photo diode)
the changes in the amount of sunlight from the LH
and RH sides (2 directions) and outputs these
sunlight strength signals to the A/C amplifier.
