DESCRIPTION - COMPRESSOR ENGAGEMENT - Alfa Romeo 159 1.8 Fino a 12/05
The special button (ice symbol) on the climate control system control unit switches on the air cooling and dehumidification circuit, activating the air conditioning compressor.The above button enables operation of the air cooling circuit, but actual compressor activation is also dependent upon activation of:- the linear sensor, located on the coolant circuit that locks air conditioner activation if coolant pressure is too low or high;- the engine control unit that excludes compressor operation in accordance with engine management mode; e.g. in the case of high engine temperatures or high engine load (sudden acceleration);If the compressor is enabled and the engine started, the manual ventilation does not go below a minimum valueFor more details
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION - COMPRESSOR ENGAGEMENT - Alfa Romeo 159 1.8 Fino a 12/05
The relay T5 for the engine compartment junction unit B1 controls the compressor engagement circuitThe supply for the relay via the line for specific fuse F19 of the engine compartment junction unit B1.The power supply for the coil for relay T5 arrives from the main injection relay T9 and from the ignition-controlled line protected by fuse F18, both located in the engine compartment junction unit B1The climate control system control unit M70 sends the enablement signal for the engagement of the compressor to the engine management control unit M10, pin 2 of connector A.On the basis of its internal control logic, the control unit M10 sends the command - from pin 48 of connector A - to engage the compressor which energizes the relay T5 so that the air conditioning compressor engagement solenoid L20 is operated at a voltage of 12 V.If the linear sensor for the fans K120 signal to the control unit M10 - pin 56 of connector A - that the pressure value is too high or too low, then the control unit M10 excludes the engagement of the compressor.The linear sensor K120 receives a power supply and reference earth from the engine management control unit M10, pin 39 and 23 of connector A.
