Function
Simple Type
This type consists of ventilator connected either
to heater OR to refrigeration system, used
simply for heating or cooling.
www.dhuam.edu.my
All Season Type

1. Blower Switch OFF
When the blower switch is turned OFF, the heater relay goes OFF, and power is no longer supply to the air
conditioner.
5. Compressor Lock-up
If the difference between the compressor speed and the engine speed rises above a certain value, the A/C
amplifier judges that the compressor has locked up, and shuts off the magnetic clutch relay.
www.dhuam.edu.my
Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV)
Function
VSV allows only a small amount of air to by-pass the closed throttle
valve when it is open, increasing engine speed by about 100 rpm when
energized.
Operation
When throttle signal contact is closed, the ECU will energize the
solenoid whenever engine speed drops below a pre-determined rpm.
