Compressor Control: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Murano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the compressor activation condition is satisfied while blower motor is activated, A/C auto amp. transmits A/C ON signal and blower fan ON signal to ECM via CAN communication line.
ECM judges the conditions of each sensor (refrigerant pressure sensor signal, accelerator position signal, etc.), and transmits the A/C compressor request signal to IPDM E/R via CAN communication line.
By receiving the A/C compressor request signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns the A/C relay to ON, and activates the compressor. Refer to , "RELAY CONTROL SYSTEM : SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ".
