2892644 - E6021 COMPRESSOR ENGAGEMENT - Functional description (Automatic Air Conditioning)

Functional description

The relay J20 controls the compressor engagement circuit. The relay is supplied by relay R1 : line controlled by the ignition INT/A, protected by fuse F15 : both are housed in the junction unit B1 . The supply for the relay R1 comes from the direct line of the maxifuse J/B1 of B5 , whilst the coil is supplied by the line .(INT/A) protected by the fuse B26 . The relay J20 coil is always supplied by the line controlled by the ignition (INT/A) protected by fuse B27 : this line also supplies the switch unit H80 . Pressing the button in group H80 , sends a signal to the climate control system control unit M70 - pin B5 - ; this checks the conditions for engaging the compressor and sends another signal, at pin A13, to the 3 stage pressure switch K5 . This, in turn, if the pressure in the circuit is correct, does not interrupt the signal which reaches the engine control unit M10 . Control unit M10 uses its own internal software to send an (earth) signal to activate the compressor which energizes the relay J20 . The relay operates the solenoid valve, at 12 V, which switches on the air conditioning compressor L20 . The engagement of the compressor is also controlled, in the same way as described above, by switch I65 for the 'MAX DEF' rapid demisting function.
