Air Inlet Control System

The air inlet control system determines whether the air inlet damper is to be opened depending on the TAO calculated by the ECM, thus selecting either inside air recirculation or fresh air introduction.

The damper is generally opened for fresh air introduction when the compressor is turned OFF.

It is also opened generally when the DEF position is selected.
