This system improves engine operation when the air conditioner is used.

Under the following conditions, the air conditioner is turned off.

• When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
• When cranking the engine.
• At high engine speeds.
• When the engine coolant temperature becomes excessively high.

• When refrigerant pressure is excessively low or high.

Can communication

CAN COMMUNICATION : System Description

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an onvehicle multiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many electronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2 communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.

Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
