Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM: PTC Heater Circuit; 2017 - 2020 MY Sienna [08/2016 -        ]

PTC Heater Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The air conditioning amplifier sends operation signals to the PTC heater relays when the quick heater assembly operation conditions are met. Based on the signals from the air conditioning amplifier the PTC heater relays turn on, and power is supplied to the quick heater assembly installed in the air conditioning radiator assembly.
