ACTUATOR TEST REFERENCE TABLE
Item No.Item nameInspection itemsConditionDescription
1Deicing TestON/OFF
  • The PHEV A/C amp. control mode is set to control mode while traveling
  • The electric power permitted to be used for air conditioning when not charging is higher than 1000 W
Defrosting operation of the outside condenser is carried out

Test successful: The outside condenser outlet refrigerant temperature becomes 10°C (50°F) or higher within 10 minutes
Test failed: Test execution conditions are not satisfied/outside condenser outlet refrigerant temperature does not become 10°C (50°F) or higher even after 10 minutes have passed
2Battery Cooling TestON/OFF
  • The PHEV A/C amp. control mode is set to control mode while traveling
  • The electric power permitted to be used for air conditioning when not charging is higher than 1000 W
The battery cooling system is forcibly driven in order to inspect whether or not the battery cooling system equipment is malfunctioning

Test successful: The battery inlet refrigerant temperature drops to a certain specified extent from the temperature at the start of the test within 60 seconds
Test failed: Test execution conditions are not satisfied/the battery inlet refrigerant temperature does not drop to the specified extent from the temperature at the start of the test even after 60 seconds have passed
3Electric Water Pump Operation TestON/OFF
  • The PHEV A/C amp. control mode is set to control mode while traveling
  • The electric power permitted to be used for air conditioning when not charging is higher than 1000 W
The electric water pump for the air conditioning is forcibly driven in order to inspect whether or not the equipment of the electric water pump for the air conditioning is malfunctioning

Test successful: A normal feedback signal continues to be transmitted from the electric water pump for 10 seconds or more
Test failed: Test start conditions are not satisfied/Abnormal feedback signal continues to be transmitted from the electric water pump for 10 seconds or more
5Actuator Operation TestON/OFF
  • The PHEV A/C amp. control mode is set to control mode while traveling
  • The electric power permitted to be used for air conditioning when not charging is higher than 1000 W
The following equipment is forcibly driven in order to inspect whether or not the air conditioner system equipment is malfunctioning

· High pressure solenoid valve: Operated while shut
· Low pressure solenoid valve: Operated while shut
· Electric expansion valve for heating: Motor is operated so that the valve moves to its initial opening position (50%)
· Electric expansion valve for cooling: Motor is operated so that the valve moves to its initial opening position (0%)
· Electric expansion valve for battery cooling: Motor is operated so that the valve moves to its initial opening position (0%)

Test successful: Force drive of all equipment is completed
Test failed: Test execution conditions are not satisfied
6Refrigerant Recovery ModeON/OFF
  • The PHEV A/C amp. control mode is set to control mode while traveling
  • The electric power permitted to be used for air conditioning when not charging is higher than 1000 W
The following equipment of the air conditioner system are forcibly opened in order to promote refrigerant recovery

· High pressure solenoid valve: Operated while open
· Low pressure solenoid valve: Operated while open
· Electric expansion valve for heating: Motor is operated so that the valve is completely open (100%)
· Electric expansion valve for cooling: Motor is operated so that the valve is completely open (100%)
· Electric expansion valve for battery cooling: Motor is operated so that the valve is completely open (100%)

Test successful: Force drive of all equipment is completed
Test failed: Test execution conditions are not satisfied
