DESCRIPTION

Front Air Conditioning System

The air conditioning harness assembly connects the air conditioning amplifier assembly and the servo motors. The air conditioning amplifier assembly supplies power and sends operation instructions to each servo motor through the air conditioning harness assembly. Each servo motor sends damper position information to the air conditioning amplifier assembly.

Rear Air Conditioning System (w/ Rear Air Conditioning System)

The No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly connects the air conditioning amplifier assembly and the servo motors. The air conditioning amplifier assembly supplies power and sends operation instructions to each servo motor through the No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly. Each servo motor sends damper position information to the air conditioning amplifier assembly.
