3. |
CHECK ECO MODE CONTROL OPERATION |
(a) Operate the ECO switch assembly (air conditioning control assembly) and check that the ECO mode indicator turns off and the blower speed reduction is canceled.
HINT:
-
When ECO mode control is operating, the air conditioning amplifier assembly controls the air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency. Therefore, explain to the customer that, when ECO mode control is operating, the blower speed will be reduced.
Control
Outline
Blower Control
When the air conditioning system is in AUTO mode, the blower speed will be reduced to a certain speed. Additionally, if warm-up control is operating, the blower speed will be further reduced.
Air Inlet Control
If the ambient temperature is a certain value or more, the air inlet mode will be changed to recirculation mode.
- In some situations, ECO mode control may not operate even though it is enabled.
