Filling

  1. Remove the protective covers from the high and low-pressure pipes.
  2. Attach the blue hose to the low-pressure pipe. Connect the red hose to the high-pressure pipe.
  3. The quick couplings are designed as so-called Schrader valves. Connection is therefore done in two steps: Fit the quick coupling to the service connection. Turn the handle clockwise, so that the valve opens and the refrigerant can pass through the connection.
  4. For manual and semiautomatic filling: Fill with compressor oil and tracing agent. See «FILLING AND ADJUSTING COMPRESSOR OIL»(ref-275884-S16316339272007122900000) .
  5. For fully automatic filling: Fill with compressor oil and tracing agent as described in the machine's instructions.
  6. Begin filling the systems. Follow the instructions for the machine.
  7. Close the cocks and disconnect the machine.
  8. Fit the service valves on the high-pressure and low-pressure pipes.

A/C system leakage tracing

The refrigerant contains a leakage tracing matter in the form of a tracing agent. The tracing agent dye is in the form of a tablet in the receiver. The tracing agent is dissolved in the compressor oil and spreads throughout the refrigerant system. The self-illuminated yellow color makes it possible to detect the smallest of leaks in the refrigerant system.

When refrigerant and compressor oil are drained, tracing agent is drained as well. When compressor oil is filled, an amount of tracing agent is added to make it easier to check for leaks. This is not the case if a new receiver is mounted as it already contains tracing agent.

Identification of the tracing agent requires use of an UV lamp and special glasses. The refrigerant system is illuminated with the UV lamp. The special glasses make leaking refrigerant visible due to the self-illuminating yellow color.

Note. When using the UV lamp and special glasses, pure engine oil in the form of a drop has a similar florescent effect as signal color.

Filling and adjusting the compressor oil

The A/C system is filled with 120 ml (B284 and Z18) or 135 ml (Z19 and B207) compressor oil. A certain amount of compressor oil is always lost when emptying refrigerant and changing components. This amount must be topped up again to maintain the function of the system.

Filling of compressor oil should be done on the high pressure side or through the oil plug.

IMPORTANTUse the specified compressor oil.

When refrigerant and compressor oil are drained, tracing agent is drained as well. When compressor oil is filled, an amount of tracing agent is added to make it easier to check for leaks. This is not the case if a new receiver is mounted as it already contains tracing agent.

For information about which compressor oil should be used, see COMPRESSOR (170) .

A/C SYSTEM REFERENCE

Functionality check of the A/C system's pressure sensor

WARNINGRead through the following safety regulations before you start working on the A/C system. Wear protective glasses and impermeable gloves, since there is a risk of burn and frost injuries. If the skin comes into contact with the refrigerant, the exposed areas should be bathed in cold water and treated like a burn. Should the coolant get into the eyes, they must be rinsed thoroughly with water for at least 10 minutes. Refrigerant must not intentionally be released into the atmosphere. If, however, the refrigerant is unintentionally released in the premises, open and ventilate well before continuing work. Gases that are formed when heating a refrigerant are a health hazard and can have a serious effect on the lungs. Work should commence as soon as possible after emptying the A/C system as residual oil may emit refrigerant vapor that could collect and leak out if the work is delayed. Smoking and open flames must not occur when handling refrigerants. Refrigerant containers must not be exposed to heating, because the pressure will then increase resulting in the risk of explosion.
  1. Connect the diagnostic tool
  2. Remove the connector from the Fan Variant.
  3. Shut the bonnet until the catch locks. WARNING: Operating with the diagnostic tool must be done from inside the cabin for safety reasons. IMPORTANT: Ensure the engine is cold before starting the test.
  4. Turn ON the ignition.
  5. Read the A/C pressure by, via the diagnostic tool, selecting 9-3 (9440), Body, Heating, Ventilation and A/C, Air Conditioning. Select Read Values
  6. Start the engine. Regulate to max fan speed (ventilation fan), max. heating and distribution mode VENT and RECIRC. NOTE: The pressure should be measured in absolute pressure, bar
  7. Await the pressure build up. For approved operation the pressure build up should cease at 27 bar, i.e. the compressor switches off. The pressure build up should automatically start again when the pressure drops below 22 bar, i.e. the compressor switches on. WARNING: If the pressure exceeds 30 bar or if the engine coolant temperature is too high, turn off the engine!
  8. With incorrect AC operation, read Fault diagnostics strategy for electronic systems. If the engine stops due to too high coolant temperature, repeat from point 6 to the indication on the pressure sensor's breaking limit is reached.
  9. With approved operation, turn off the engine.
  10. Turn ON the ignition. Allow the pressure to drop to 20 bar.
  11. Open the bonnet. Connect the connector to the fan variant.
  12. Note in the report the read values for the compressor's cut-in and turn-off pressure. Reset the car and check the A/C operation.

Climate control unit

IMPORTANTThe optic cables must be handled carefully so as not to distort the signal. It is extremely important that the two leads in the connector are not mixed up. The cables cannot be spliced. The lead must not be bent to form a curve with a radius of less than 25 mm. The lead must not be subjected to temperatures greater than 185°F (85°C). The lead ends should be kept free from dirt. The lead must not be subjected to blows that could cause the transparent plastic to whiten, thereby reducing light intensity. This could cause disruptions in communication. The lead should not be stretched across a sharp edge, which would cause increased damping of the signal.

Evaporator

IMPORTANTThe A/C receiver and the compressor oil absorb moisture from the air, which can then not be removed. Plug all connections that are opened immediately.

Climate zones

Cars with MCC maintain the same climate zone for the entire cabin. Cars with ACC provide climate zones for which the driver and front seat passenger can maintain separate air temperatures. This is accomplished with two air mixing dampers, one for the driver zone and one for the front seat passenger zone. The passengers in the rear seat receive an air mixture from the two front temperature zones.

Scheme 305

Scheme 305: Climate zones

Air mixture, MCC

Based on the desired temperature, the air mixing damper directs the incoming air through the heat exchanger before the air is released into the cabin. In this way, warm and cool air is mixed to achieve the desired temperature. If a low temperature is selected, the air mixing damper closes so that the air is prevented from passes through the heat exchanger.

Scheme 306

Scheme 306: Air mixture, MCC

Cars with MCC are equipped with a air mixing damper which is controlled by a DC motor. The mixed-air temperature is affected by fan speed and the air mixing damper position.

Air mixture, ACC

A stepping motor for each climate zone helps to control the temperature of the air mixture. The air mixture is adjusted with one air mixing damper for the driver zone and one for the front seat passenger zone. The air mixture temperature from the heat exchanger is affected by fan speed and the air mixing damper position. Depending on the desired temperature, the corresponding air mixing damper can direct a specific amount of the incoming air through the heat exchanger before the air enters the cabin. In this way, warm and cool air can be mixed to achieve the desired temperature. If a low temperature is selected, the air mixing damper closes so that the air is prevented from passing through the heat exchanger.

Scheme 307

Scheme 307: Air mixture, ACC

Air distribution, MCC

The climate control unit directs air from the air distribution damper to the defroster, panel or floor vents. The controls can be adjusted with the three main settings. Air is then distributed between the defroster and panel vents or between the panel and floor vents. From the air distribution damper, air is directed via a number of outlets to different vents located throughout the cabin.

Scheme 308

Scheme 308: Air distribution, MCC

Air distribution, ACC

The heating and ventilation unit contains separate dampers for air distribution to the defroster, floor and panel vents. There is one damper for either side of the panel. Each damper is rotated by a stepping motor with a feed from the control module.

Air is directed to the vents on the top side of the dashboard and to the front side window defroster vents. There are four defroster vents; two direct the air to the windshield and two smaller vents on either side of the dashboard direct air to the front side windows.

Scheme 310

Scheme 310: Defroster setting

Panel setting

The air is directed to the dashboard vents and vents in the rear edge of the center console.

Scheme 311

Scheme 311: Panel setting

Of the three panel vents in the dashboard, the center panel vent is divided for use by the driver and passenger. Air distribution is controlled individually and the air flow direction can be adjusted horizontally and vertically while the amount of air can be variably adjusted.

Two panel vents for rear seat passengers are located on the rear edge of the center console. The amount of air and distribution can be adjusted individually.

Floor setting

Air is directed to vents under the dashboard and under the front seats to the rear floor outlets.

Scheme 312

Scheme 312: Floor setting

At the same time, a smaller amount of air flows to the defroster vents to prevent side window downdraft.

Of the four floor air outlets, the two that lead to the underside of the dashboard direct air to the floor by the driver and passenger. Two air outlets lead to the underside of the front seats and direct air to the floor for the rear seat passengers.

TRI setting

Air is directed to the defroster, panel and floor settings simultaneously.

BI mode

Air is directed to the panel and floor positions at the same time.

Heating mode

Air is directed to the defroster, and floor positions at the same time.

Air recirculation

The climate control unit is equipped with a recirculation flap located near the ventilation fan. The recirculation flap has two settings; fresh air and recirculation. If recirculation is activated, no air enters the climate control unit from outside the car. Instead, the cabin air is recirculated.

Scheme 313

Scheme 313: Air recirculation

The recirculation flap is opened and closed with a direct current motor.

Fresh-air filter

The filter is located in the bulkhead partition space on the passenger side. There are two types of fresh-air filters.

Scheme 314

Scheme 314: Fresh-air filter

Particle air filter

The fibres in the particle air filter stop larger particles but must rely on an electrostatic charge to trap smaller particles. Because of the electrostatic charge, the filter attracts particles much in the same way as a magnet attracts metal filings.

Combination filter

A combination filter is available as optional equipment. The fibres in the particle air filter stop larger particles but must rely on an electrostatic charge to trap smaller particles. Because of the electrostatic charge, the filter attracts particles much in the same way as a magnet attracts metal filings.

Besides removing all visible particles, the filter removes particles such as pollen, plant spores and different types of dust from the cabin air. The active charcoal in the filter reduces the concentration of hazardous substances such as benzene and toluene.

Air conditioning lowers the cabin air temperature to a comfortable level when ambient temperatures are high and provides the ACC system with a fixed temperature setting with which to balance the cabin temperature setting. The unit reduces cabin humidity in wet weather without raising the cabin air temperature, which in turn keeps the windows free from mist with a low fan speed.

Scheme 315

Scheme 315: A/C system

The A/C unit does not produce cold air but instead removes warmth from incoming air or air recirculated inside the cabin. In order to achieve this, a substance which has a lower temperature than the air due to pressure difference is used since heat is always transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object.

The refrigerant boils and vaporizes at low temperatures. The refrigerant maintains a constant pressure/temperature ratio which means that if the pressure is altered, the temperature is altered and vice versa. This condition remains constant if the volume remains the same.

By allowing the refrigerant to circulate in a closed system where the pressure can be altered, the temperature can be changed. If the pressure and temperature are altered sufficiently, the refrigerant begins to vaporize. When the system pressure is at the correct level, the refrigerant vaporizes at approximately 0 to +4°C. The process occurs in the A/C system evaporator.

A necessary condition for refrigerant vaporization is the presence of heat extracted from the air around the evaporator. When heat is extracted from the air surrounding the evaporator, the air becomes cooler. It is this cooler air which is directed into the cabin.

Heat which the refrigerant has gathered in the evaporator is transported to the engine bay where it is released into the ambient air via an air-cooled condenser.

Refrigerant

A liquid with the designation R134a is used as a refrigerant. R134a heats and vaporizes at a temperature of approximately -30°C in normal air pressure. When the refrigerant vaporizes in the evaporator, it extracts heat from the surrounding air. This cooled air is directed into the cabin.

R134a is a chlorine-free refrigerant.

For information regarding refrigerants, see DRAINING AND FILLING REFRIGERANT .

Cooled glove box

Cars with ACC are equipped with a hose connecting the heating and ventilation unit to the glove box. With controls inside the glove box, a vent allowing cool air into the glove box can be opened or closed. In this way, the contents of the glove box can be kept cool.

Scheme 316

Scheme 316: Cooled glove box

Scheme 317

Scheme 317: Refrigerant flow
  1. Compressor The refrigerant is led to the compressor from the evaporator under low pressure and in gas form where it is compressed, allowing the pressure and temperature to increase. The heated and vaporized refrigerant is then directed to the condenser.
  2. Condenser The heated, high-pressure refrigerant is pumped by the compressor into the condenser coil. The coil is equipped with cooling fins through which air flows with help from the radiator fan and the air stream. Because heat always moves from a warmer object to a cooler object, the heated refrigerant will release some of its heat into the cooler air. The heated refrigerant in vapor form loses heat and begins to condense and return to liquid form.
  3. Receiver
  4. The receiver stores and dehumidifies the refrigerant. Refrigerant enters the receiver in liquid form at high pressure and temperature. It passes through a filter unit where it is dehumidified and cleaned of any particles. The refrigerant is then directed, in liquid form, to the expansion valve. The system pressure sensor is located on the pipe between the receiver and the expansion valve.
  5. Expansion valve The refrigerant entering the expansion valve in liquid form is at high pressure and temperature. The purpose of the expansion valve is to control the amount of refrigerant which is injected into the evaporator. The valve does not permit more refrigerant to enter than the amount which can be vaporized for each cycle.
  6. Evaporator When the refrigerant expands when it enters the evaporator from the expansion valve. The evaporator maintains a much lower pressure due to the compressor suction effect. When the refrigerant expands, it returns to gas form (evaporation). In order for vaporization to occur, heat must be extracted from the surrounding air. The cool air is then led into the cabin. The refrigerant is led to the compressor in gas form.

A/C request

A/C cut-in and cut-off

A/C cut-in is processed by the engine control module when an A/C request is sent via bus. The engine control module uses engine temperature, A/C pressure sensor, battery voltage and rpm information to determine if the A/C compressor should be engaged.

Conditions for starting or stopping the A/C compressor, B207E/L/R (petrol) and D223L (diesel)

  1. If the engine temperature exceeds 126°C (petrol), 123°C (diesel), the compressor will be stopped. In order for it to start, the engine temperature must be below 125°C (petrol), 122°C (diesel).
  2. If the A/C pressure exceeds 28 bar, the compressor is stopped. The compressor will be restarted once the pressure is below 23 bar. When the pressure is below 3.2 bar, the compressor stops. In order for restart to occur, the pressure must be above 3.28 bar.
  3. Petrol only: If the engine speed is below 450 rpm the compressor is stopped. In order for the compressor to be restarted, the engine speed must exceed 575 rpm.

Conditions for starting or stopping the A/C compressor, Z18XE (petrol)

  3. If the rpm is below 450, the compressor is stopped. In order to restart the compressor, the rpm must be above 575.

Conditions for starting or stopping the A/C compressor, B284 (petrol)

  1. If the engine temperature exceeds 123°C the compressor is stopped. In order for the compressor to be started the engine temperature must be below 122°C.
  2. If the A/C pressure exceeds 30 bar, the compressor is stopped. The compressor will be restarted once the pressure is below 23 bar. When the pressure is below 2.8 bar, the compressor stops. In order for restart to occur, the pressure must be above 3.2 bar.
  3. If the rpm is below 450, the compressor is stopped. In order for the compressor to restart, the rpm must be above 575.

Pressure sensor

Pressure in the A/C system is measured with a pressure sensor mounted on the A/C pipe on the RH side of the condenser. The pressure sensor is connected to the engine control module which receives pressure information. The information is used to start or stop the compressor and radiator fan adjustment.

The radiator fans are controlled in accordance with the table below.

Compressor

The A/C compressor, mounted on the RH side of the engine, provides the necessary refrigerant pressure increase for A/C system function.

Scheme 319

Scheme 319: Compressor

The large amount of power required to achieve this pressure increase is taken from the crankshaft by the compressor via a drive belt system. Start and stop occurs with an electromagnetic clutch integrated in the compressor belt pulley. The electromagnetic clutch solenoid coil protects the clutch from overheating (182.5 ± 5°C). If the overheat protection is activated, the solenoid coil must be replaced as it is not possible to reset the overheat protection function.

The compressor has a variable swept volume, also called displacement. A compressor with variable swept volume adjusts the swept volume to the current cooling requirements in the cabin.

Because the swept volume is always adjusted according to the cooling requirement, the evaporator temperature remains more or less constant. This means that the compressor will not cycle as when a compressor with a fixed displacement is used.

When the compressor is coupled with the electromagnetic clutch, the compressor starts with 5% of the maximum swept volume. After start, the swept volume increases until it matches the cooling requirement.

Scheme 320

Scheme 320

The crankshaft torque requirement increases gradually, which results in a considerable pressure reduction during cut-in compared with a compressor with fixed displacement.

The compressor is a piston-type compressor with seven axial cylinders. The pistons move back and forth in the cylinders and create a pump effect for the refrigerant with help from the inlet and outlet valves. The power from the rotating compressor shaft is transferred to the piston motion using a rocker disc. The pistons are controlled by sliders which remain in contact with both sides of the rocker disc.

Change the piston stroke in order to change the compressor displacement. By changing the rocker disc angle against the compressor shaft, the piston stroke can be lengthened or shortened.

In order to change the rocker disc angle, the pressure differential between the compressor cylinders and the compressor crankcase is used. If the pressure in the crankcase is lower than the pressure on top of the pistons, the pistons and rocker disc move together axially in the direction of the belt pulley. Through a linkage with two locating studs between the rocker disc and the shaft, the rocker disc angle will increase gradually as the pistons and rocker disc move. The increased angle results in an increased swept volume.

The compressor swept volume can therefore be adjusted by changing the compressor crankcase pressure.

Condenser, Z18, Z19, B207

The condenser cools the heated refrigerant which has assumed a gaseous form in order for the refrigerant to condense. For this process to become as efficient as possible, the refrigerant is led by four coils through the condenser, the first of which is divided into 13 channels. The second coil is divided into 10, the third into 7 and the fourth and last coil is divided into 5 channels. This design makes it possible to minimize the size of the condenser without a reduction in capacity.

Scheme 321

Scheme 321: Condenser, Z18, Z19, B207

The condenser cools the heated refrigerant which has assumed a gaseous form in order for the refrigerant to condense. For this process to become as efficient as possible, the refrigerant is led by four coils through the condenser, the first of which is divided into 17 channels. The second coil is divided into 11, the third into 8 and the fourth and last coil is divided into 6 channels. This design makes it possible to minimize the size of the condenser without a reduction in capacity.

Receiver

The receiver, which is located on the RH side of the radiator, filters, stores and dehumidifies from the refrigerant.

Scheme 322

Scheme 322: Receiver

When servicing the A/C system, it is important to plug all open connections to prevent the receiver from absorbing moisture from the air. If the A/C system has been open for more than a total of 15 minutes, the receiver should be replaced since it will have absorbed too much moisture to allow normal function.

Replace the receiver in connection with hose rupture and major leakage as well as compressor breakdown. As long as pressure remains in the system, replacement is not necessary.

Expansion valve

The expansion valve regulates the amount of refrigerant that is released into evaporator. The expansion valve is located in the bulkhead partition space near the A/C hose passage into the bulkhead in all models.

The expansion valve consists of a spring-loaded ball located on the high-pressure side. The ball is connected via a pressure lever to a diaphragm in a gas-filled chamber on the low-pressure side of the valve. The spring maintains a constant pressure on the ball. The pressure from the pressure lever exerted on the ball is dependent on the pressure inside the gas-filled chamber. The pressure in the chamber is dependent on the refrigerant temperature in the evaporator outlet.

If the temperature of the refrigerant from the evaporator passing through the expansion valve low pressure side decreases, the pressure inside the gas-filled chamber is also decreased. The spring exerts pressure on the ball and pressure lever. The diaphragm cannot withstand the pressure and the expansion valve restricts the flow area.

If the temperature of the refrigerant from the evaporator increases, the pressure inside the gas-filled chamber also increases. The diaphragm presses against the pressure lever and the ball, the spring is compressed and the expansion valve opens. A larger amount of refrigerant is allowed through, which increases the cooling effect and decreases the evaporator temperature.

The evaporator, which is located in the climate control unit, consists of a heat exchanger (cabin air/refrigerant) through which refrigerant via through a pipe system equipped with cooling fins.

Scheme 323

Scheme 323: Evaporator

The incoming refrigerant expands and boils (vaporizes) in the evaporator pipe system and absorbs heat from the pipes and cooling fins. The cooling fins are warmed, in turn, by the incoming/recirculating cabin air. The incoming cabin air is then cooled to a temperature of approximately 5-10°C, providing the cabin with cooling to the desired temperature.

When heat is absorbed, condensation is formed on the evaporator pipes and cooling fins. This condensation drains out underneath the engine compartment through a drainage hose. During certain climatic conditions, relatively large amounts of water can collect under a parked car.

Pipes, hoses and sealing washers

The pipes and hoses in the A/C system must withstand extremes of both heat and pressure. These components must meet requirements regarding leak integrity and hose diffusion characteristics, or refrigerant leakage through the hose material. Only pipes and hoses manufactured specifically for the A/C system should be used. In order to fulfil these requirements, the inside of the hose is constructed with butyl rubber and the outside is constructed with EPDM rubber.

Sealing washers are used on connections. The sealing washer is a metal washer with a vulcanized rubber seal. The sealing washers should always be checked and replaced when connecting A/C components. It is very important that the right tightening torque is used when assembling.

Service connections

The low pressure side's service connection is located on the low pressure pipe behind the right headlamp between the A/C compressor and the evaporator.

The high pressure side service connection is on the high pressure pipe behind the right headlamp between the receiver and the evaporator.

Main task

The A/C compressor's electromagnetic clutch connects the belt pulley driven by the belt circuit and the A/C compressor's shaft.

Temperature

The desired temperature is set using the panel temperature knob's 31 settings. A direct current motor with built-in potentiometer rotates the air mixing damper. This damper mixes cool air which has passed through the evaporator with warm air which has passed through the evaporator and heat exchanger. The temperature dial is connected to a potentiometer which receives an internal control module voltage feed. The potentiometer applies voltage to the internal control module inlet which increases when the knob is rotated to the right. The A/D value is converted in a control module memory table containing information regarding which air mixture setting (desired) is to be used for a specific A/D value.

Scheme 435

Scheme 435: Temperature

The control module activates the direct current motor until polarity causes the current air mixture setting measured from the motor potentiometer to be the same as the desired air mixture setting.

A direct current motor with built-in potentiometer rotates the air distribution damper via linkage. The air distribution knob is connected to a potentiometer which receives an internal control module voltage feed. The potentiometer applies voltage to the internal control module inlet which increases when the knob is rotated to the right. The A/D value is converted in a control module memory table containing information regarding which air distribution setting (desired) is to be used for a specific A/D value.

Scheme 438

Fan speed

The knob is connected to a potentiometer which is supplied with current internally from the control module. The potentiometer has 6 fixed positions and delivers a voltage to the control module's internal input which increases when the knob is turned clockwise. The value is A/D converted.

Scheme 439

Scheme 439: Fan speed

A table in the control module memory contains the indicated voltage which is sent to the fan control unit at a specific A/D value. Control voltage is as follows

Knob setting012345
Control voltage01.64 V2.3 V2.62 V3.10 V5 V

CONTROL MODULE VOLTAGE REFERENCE TABLE

When the starter motor is running, a control voltage of 0 V is set despite the knob setting. The MCC detects that the starter motor is running since +54 receives no voltage while +15 receives voltage.

The button is read by the control module which supplies current to a DC motor that drives the air recirculation flap to the desired setting. The motor is activated for a period of 10 s. An LED indicates that recirculation has been switched on. Fresh air can be selected if the air distribution knob is set to defrost, after which it is possible to select recirculation manually. The MCC stores recirculation status during ignition shut-off if the A/C is switched on and recirculation is active. The status is re-activated when the ignition is switched on.

Scheme 440

Scheme 440: Air recirculation

A/C

When the A/C button is activated, a ground feed is supplied from pin 18 to the ECM. A diode indicates that the function is active. The BCM requests A/C cut-in from the ECM. The MCC stores A/C status when the ignition is switched off and re-activates the same status once the ignition is switched on.

Scheme 441

Scheme 441: A/C

Electrically heated rear window and rear view mirrors

The button is used to switch the rear window defrost on and off. When the button is depressed, a ground pulse is sent from pin 4 to the BCM. When the BCM sends a request for electrically heated rear window cut-in, the BCM will also supply B+ on the MCC unit pin 22 which will light a diode indicating that the function is operating. The REC activates the electrically heated rear window relay. The corresponding door module activates mirror heating.

Scheme 442

Scheme 442: Electrically heated rear window and rear view mirrors

Parking heater

The parking heater is activated from the ICM via SID and SIDC. The parking heater relay is controlled by the BCM. The relay applies B+ on the MCC unit pin 32 (+54) when the heater is activated. When the ignition is switched of, the following setting is the result

MCC

The motor is connected to MCC unit pins 15 (K42) and 14 (K42). The output polarity is reversed in order to change motor rotation direction. The MCC unit applies a B+ feed on pin 15 and grounds pin 14 in order to operate the motor for fresh air setting and conversely in order to operate the motor for cabin air retrieval.

CONTROL PANEL, MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL SPECIFICATION

General

The demands on the car's functionality have developed strongly during the last years. Development has primarily affected the car's electrical system. From Saab 900 1994 when the instrument bus with 4 control modules via Saab 9-5 and 9-3 with the Infotainment bus and the Power train bus and 13 control modules on to the Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon with at most 30 control modules.

In addition to the I-bus and the P-bus, an Optical bus was introduced on the Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon, which interconnects the car's infotainment system. Furthermore, an electrically controlled steering column lock was introduced. Initially it will be possible to SPS program 8 of the car's control modules. Most of the car's control modules have a flash memory and will be successively included in SPS.

Bus

Bus configuration can be read and reset as before. An addition is that, besides "Missing" and "OK", "Added" is also shown if a unit has been fitted without resetting the bus list. Furthermore, "Not fitted" is shown for control modules that are not mounted and should not be mounted in the car. The bus list is divided into four pages, two for the I-bus, one for the P-bus and one for the O-bus.

With an "Add/Remove" of a control module updating of the list takes place automatically. In connection with the trouble code reading a check is made on the buses in accordance with the previous concept. Further tools have been introduced for fault diagnosis of the buses. A fault counter in each control module can be read and reset using the diagnostic tool. The counter's value increases with short term breaks to the control module in question.

Engine not running

If the engine is not running, no cooling water circulates through the heat exchanger, the A/C compressor does not operate and the alternator does not charge. This implies that the system cannot regulate the climate nor can the system use an abundant amount of current and present a misfire risk for one of the stepping motors due to the low battery voltage if the starter motor should be engaged. For these reasons, the control module selects electrically heated rear window off, fan current 0 A, recirculation off and switches off all stepping motors.

Scheme 527

Scheme 527: Engine not running

Engine is running

As soon as the engine has started, the control module guides all functions automatically if no manual settings have been selected or if customer SID (Saab Information Display) settings have been made.

Scheme 528

Scheme 528: Engine is running

Ignition off

When the ignition is switched off, the display is no longer lit and no buttons function. All stepping motors are stopped and recirculation is shut off. If the car is locked, the panel and defrost dampers will close and the floor damper will open completely after 9 minutes.

Scheme 529

Scheme 529: Ignition off

The control module continues to make calculations for an additional two hours. The bus is alerted at thirty minute intervals and the outdoor temperature is checked. If the ignition is switched on within this two-hour period, the control module maintains the manual selections made during the earlier driving cycle. If the two hour period has passed, the control module starts in the AUTO setting or customer selected setting (if made with SID).

Temperature, separate for passenger and driver

The control module adjusts cabin temperature with one stepping motor for the driver zone and one stepping motor for the passenger zone. The stepping motors are connected to dampers which mix warm and cool air.

Scheme 530

Scheme 530: Temperature, separate for passenger and driver

The current temperature at head height is calculated for the front seat passenger and the driver. The following is used as input values for this calculation

  1. outdoor temperature
  2. time since the engine was last run
  3. time since start
  4. car speed
  5. mixed air temperature
  6. fan speed
  7. intensity of the sun

The cabin temperature sensor value is read when the ignition is switched on if the ignition has been switched off for more than two hours. The value is then no longer used during the driving cycle.

The calculated head height temperatures are then compared with those which have been set on the ACC unit display by the driver and passenger. The set temperatures are adjusted somewhat when the outdoor temperature is taken into consideration since the experienced temperature should be the same as the set temperature. The difference between the experienced and actual temperature depends on the effect from air entering the cabin and heat from body parts as well as the interior and windows.

Scheme 531

Scheme 531

As soon as a difference in the requested and actual temperature has been detected in the zone, the mixed air temperature must be raised or lowered. The control module rotates the air mixing damper until the desired air mixture temperature is achieved.

The control module reads the current mixed air temperature from two temperature zone sensors which are mounted in the floor and panel outlets on the heating and ventilation unit. The value from the corresponding sensor on either side are weighed equally depending on the extent to which each corresponding damper has been opened.

The heating and ventilation unit contains separate dampers for air distribution to the defroster, floor and panel vents. There is one damper for either side of the panel. Each damper is rotated by a stepping motor with a feed from the control module.

Scheme 532

Scheme 532: Air distribution

When the driver zone requires warmth, defrost+floor is selected; when cooling is required, the panel damper is also opened. If rapid cooling is required, the air distributed to the defroster is reduced, and if necessary also the air to the floor vents, increasing the flow of air through the panel vents. When the car is started in cold weather, defrost only is selected initially. Once the coolant has reached a temperature of 35°C, the floor damper will start to open. At 45°C, the floor damper opens more rapidly and the defroster damper is closed slightly to distribute more air to the foot wells.

Scheme 533

Scheme 533

The control module controls a fan control unit which feeds the fan motor. Fan current is lowest when neither zone requires heating or cooling. During cold weather starts, the value is determined by the coolant temperature and the outdoor temperature. The fan is switched off when the engine is not running.

Scheme 534

Scheme 534: Fan speed

The control module feeds a direct current motor which rotates the recirculation damper. The motor reverses polarity in order to run in the opposite direction.

If the ignition has been switched off, recirculation is selected after a minimum of 15 seconds after engine start and only if the outdoor temperature exceeds 25°C and both zones require excessive cooling after start.

Subsequently, recirculation is selected in the following cases

Scheme 535

Scheme 535: Air recirculation
  1. at outdoor temperatures over 38°C if the sun intensity exceeds 700 W/m 2
  2. at outdoor temperatures over 45°C (extremely hot)
  3. at outdoor temperatures over 30°C and speeds under 15 km/h during an interval of 30 seconds. Fresh air is re-connected when speed exceeds 30 km/h during an interval of at least 45 seconds.
  4. at outdoor temperatures over 25°C if desired mixed air temperature cannot be achieved.
  5. at outdoor temperatures over 25°C if the coolant temperature exceeds 118°C (diesel 115°C). Fresh air is re-connected when the coolant temperature is reduced to 115°C (diesel 112°C)
  6. with activation of the windscreen washing to avoid that the odor from the washer fluid enters the compartment when driving.

Recirculation can be selected manually on the panel. A symbol on the display indicates when air is recirculating.

During ignition, fresh air is selected immediately.

The control module requests that the A/C compressor should start if the outdoor temperature exceeds 0°C and A/C OFF is not selected.

Scheme 536

Scheme 536: A/C

The parking heater is activated from the ICM via SID and SIDC. When the ignition is switched off, the following setting will result

Scheme 548

Scheme 548

When the soft top is raised the system returns to AUTO mode and previously set temperature.

ACC uses the bus message "Soft top status" to determine when ACC status must be changed. At opening this takes place when the value of "Soft top status" moves from "Closed" to "Upper sequence". At closing this takes place when the value of "Soft top status" moves from "Open" to "Lower sequence", i.e. when the soft top cover starts the closing operation.

Note. When the soft top is folded down or all windows are lowered in a warm climate and high air humidity, then manual engagement of the air conditioning can result in condensation forming on cold surfaces, such as on air ducts.

The ventilation fan provides the cabin interior with air from outside the car or inside the cabin depending on the position selected for the air recirculation flap.

The fan control unit contains two connectors; a four-pin connector connected to the ACC unit and a two-pin connector which is directly-connected on the ventilation fan motor. Four-pin connector: control unit B+ feed to pin 4 from fuse 23 (fuse board 22) and is connected to ground through pin 1 on grounding point G41.

Scheme 550

Scheme 550: ACC

Fan speed is controlled from ACC unit pin 5 through control unit pin 3 with a 2 kHz PWM. Fan control unit pin 2 is connected to ACC unit pin 25 with a return feed for diagnostics information. The control unit sends a 2 kHz PWM to the corresponding fan speed input. If a fault is detected, the control unit sends the indicated pulse ratio and the ACC unit generates the relevant DTC.

The motor is connected with linkage which controls the air recirculation flap. The flap regulates air flow to the fan so that the air is retrieved from outside the cabin or from inside the cabin; there is no intermediate setting.

The air recirculation flap has a DC motor. The ACC unit reverses output polarity in order to change the direction of motor rotation.

The motor is connected to ACC unit pins 25 (K42) and 4 (K42). The output polarity is reversed in order to change motor rotation direction. The ACC unit applies a B+ feed on pin 25 and grounds pin 4 in order to operate the motor for fresh air setting and conversely in order to operate the motor for cabin air retrieval.

AIR DISTRIBUTION FLAP STEPPING MOTOR SPECIFICATION

The demands on the car's functionality have developed strongly during the last years. Development has primarily affected the car's electrical system. From Saab 900 1994 when the instrument bus with 4 control modules via Saab 9-5 and 9-3 with the Infotainment bus and the Power train bus and 13 control modules on to the Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon with at most 30 control modules.

In addition to the I-bus and the P-bus, an Optical bus was introduced on the Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon, which interconnects the car's infotainment system. Furthermore, an electrically controlled steering column lock was introduced. Initially it will be possible to SPS program 8 of the car's control modules. Most of the car's control modules have a flash memory and will be successively included in SPS. A new function in TIS 2000 allows you to access new SPS files via the Internet between CD releases.

Bus configuration can be read and reset as before. An addition is that, besides "Missing" and "OK", "Added" is also shown if a unit has been fitted without resetting the bus list. Furthermore, "Not fitted" is shown for control modules that are not mounted and should not be mounted in the car. The bus list is divided into four pages, two for the I-bus, one for the P-bus and one for the O-bus.

With an "Add/Remove" of a control module updating of the list takes place automatically. In connection with the trouble code reading a check is made on the buses in accordance with the previous concept. Further tools have been introduced for fault diagnosis of the buses. A fault counter in each control module can be read and reset using the diagnostic tool. The counter's value increases with short term breaks to the control module in question.

Scheme 630

Scheme 630: General

A suitable instrument to use is a multimeter.

The ohmmeter must not be used to test components containing semi-conductors, e.g. control modules and relay with timing functions, etc.

When measuring resistance, the power supply to the system being tested must be disconnected as the measuring instrument generates a weak current in the circuit in question.

This is done to ensure that there is no current already in the tested circuit and that the correct reading is obtained.

Scheme 631

Scheme 632

Scheme 632
  1. Turn on the load.
  2. Set the multimeter for measuring voltage and connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to a good grounding point.
  3. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the point where the voltage is to be read.
  4. On the output side of switches/control modules, it is better to start checking from these and gradually work your way towards the load. When there is no longer a voltage reading, you will have gone past the break point.
  5. On the input side of switches/control modules/consumers, it is better to start at the power source (normally a fuse) and then move gradually towards the switch/control module/consumer. When there is no longer a voltage reading, you will have gone past the break point.

  2. Set the multimeter for measuring ohms and connect the ohmmeter to each end of the component/lead to be tested.
  3. Jiggle the relevant wiring harness while observing the ohmmeter. Normally, the resistance of a wiring harness is less than 1 ohm. Specified values apply to components.

  2. Set the multimeter for measuring ohms.
  3. Connect one test lead to a good ground and the other to the point to be tested.
  4. Carefully jiggle the wiring harness and make sure the multimeter reading shows infinite resistance (OL) all the time.

Scheme 637

Scheme 637: Procedures before dismantling the control module

The control module is sensitive to electrostatic discharges. In order to prevent damage to internal components in control modules, they must be changed very carefully in the following manner

  1. Never touch the pins on a control module with your hands or clothes.
  2. Ground yourself by touching the car body/engine. Unplug the connector on the car's control module.
  3. Ground yourself by touching the car body/engine. Plug-in the connector on the car's control module.

SPS programming

Connect Tech 2 and use TIS 2000 to check whether the control module requires programming. Go to the "SPS" menu, select "Read control module data" and follow the instructions. This is done so that the control module receives the latest available software and is also adapted to the car variant and market.

Add

Once the control module has been fitted and in certain cases SPS programming has been carried out, Tech 2 must be used to marry the control unit to the car. Go to the "All" menu and select the control module under "Add/Remove". Then select "Add" and follow the instructions. The ignition key must be in ON position. TIS 2000 may be required.

The action involves the following

Properties files are downloaded, security codes are written, bus lists are updated, data in another control modules are updated and fault codes cleared in all control modules.

Actions when replacing electrical components

The components are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. In order to avoid damage to the internal circuits of components, replacement must be carried out with care in the following manner

  1. Never touch the pins of the component with the hands or with clothing.
  2. Ground yourself by touching the engine or body of the car. Unplug the connector from the component.
  3. Ground yourself by touching the engine or body of the car. Plug in the connector to the component.

Internal control module faults

Upon starting, the processor (CPU) checks that the check sum is the right one for the ROM. This value is written to the RAM and then read back again to check that the value is the same as the original one.

During operation, a check is carried out to ensure that the program executes certain routines.

  1. The ROM has to be correct as the program is stored there. An error in the program could cause the control module to activate an output in the wrong position or make entirely wrong decisions. The check sum is the sum of the program's entire code and is attached when the control module is programmed. When the control module processor is woken, the entire program will be checked again. The check sum just calculated is compared with the programmed one, and these must be the same, otherwise diagnostic trouble code P0605 is generated.
  2. All bytes in the RAM are checked in connection with startup. One byte equals 8 bits, and the process writes 4 different bit patterns and reads them back. The values written and read must be the same. 4 different bit patterns are used because we want to be sure that bits do not infect one another. The «ERROR REFERENCE TABLE»(ref-275884-S10290381812007122900000) below shows an example of how an error is detected in a byte in the RAM: ERROR REFERENCE TABLE Written Read Error (Yes/No) 00000000 00000000 No 11111111 11111111 No 01010101 01010101 No 10101010 10101011 Yes The error is that the second-last bit is infecting the last one with a one. This generates diagnostic trouble code P0604.
  3. "Dog Error" is short for "Watchdog Error". A check is carried out to ensure that the program passes certain program steps which are always run.

Analog inputs

The voltage interval 0-5 V from a temperature sensor or pressure sensor is converted in the control module into a digital value, often 0-255 (256 steps), which is equivalent to a byte.

If we know that the bit value is never less than 10 or more than 245 under normal operation, we can set a diagnostic trouble code if the value falls outside of this range.

In the example above, you can see that the diagnosis is unable to differentiate between interference and a short-circuit to 5 V. The reason for this is that the input has a Pull-Up at 5 V, and this is equivalent to a bit value of 255. This is the greatest value the control module can read. Thus interference generates the same diagnostic trouble code as a short-circuit to 5 V or B+.

The A/D value has to be too high for 0.5 s in order to set the diagnostic trouble code. This is known as the filter time. The filter has to be in place to prevent short-term interference from mobile telephones or the ignition system, for example, from setting diagnostic trouble codes.

The diagnostic trouble code is set after 0.5 s. The MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) or Check Engine, as it is also known, is activated only during the second run in a row where faults have occurred. If the fault is rectified without deleting the diagnostic trouble code, Check Engine will go out after the third fault-free run.

The control module uses a substitute value for coolant temperature which is based on the intake air temperature.

As long as the fault is active, a bus message is sent indicating that the cooling temperature value is implausible. This means that the receiving control module is able to undertake certain action, such as starting the radiator fan and resetting the temperature gauge.

Digital inputs

The camshaft and crankshaft sensor and a door switch are examples of digital inputs. These are more difficult to diagnose. In the case of the camshaft and crankshaft sensor, it may be concluded that there is a fault in the camshaft sensor if only the crankshaft sensor is transmitting signals (Motronic).

Buttons and many other digital inputs are often entirely without diagnostics.

You can see that simply switching on the ignition is not enough for the diagnostics to locate the fault. The crankshaft has to be rotating. If the camshaft is not rotating, the diagnostic trouble code will be set after 12 engine revolutions. If the fault is present from startup and the motor is unable to start without the sensor, it is necessary to turn the engine over on the starter motor before the code is set (e.g. Motronic).

If the cam chain snaps, the diagnostic trouble code will be set. The control module is unable to tell whether the camshaft sensor has stopped transmitting signals because of a mechanical fault or an electrical fault.

Outputs

When at rest, when a last-stage transistor is not activated, the voltage between collector and emitter must be high (often battery voltage). When the transistor is active, the voltage must be low. Otherwise a diagnostic trouble code is set.

Here, the control module first has to have learned that the car is fitted with A/C. This is saved to the RAM. Cars without A/C must not have this diagnostic trouble code stored, although they do not have an A/C relay.

For a diagnostic trouble code regarding interference to be set, the output must be deactivated. The correct voltage for an active output is 0 V.

If the voltage is too high in the case of an active output, a diagnostic trouble code for a short-circuit to B+ is set. This could be due to a burnt relay winding, a short-circuit in the network or made an incorrect connection in the relay base during troubleshooting.

"Warm-up" is short for the Warm-Up Cycle and is described in US legal requirements. A warm-up involves raising the engine temperature by 20°C, and the temperature also has to be in excess of 71°C. If the fault is rectified without deleting the diagnostic trouble code, the diagnostic trouble code will remain in the control module fault memory for 40 warm-ups.
