  air outlet damper control servo motor to operate.
HINT: *1If the room temp. is approx. ±20°C (±4°F) or lower, FACE light may blink even though the
system is normal.
*
2If the ambient temperature is approx. ±50°C (±58°F) or lower, the B/L light may blink even
though the system is normal.
*
3If the check is being performed in a dark place, the LED for DEF (solar sensor circuit abnormal)
could be blinking.
In this case, perform diagnostic sensor check again while shining a light, such as an inspection
light, on the solar sensor.
If the light is still blinking, there could be trouble in the solar sensor circuit. AC±20

HINT: *4Compressor lock (A/C light blink) is indicated only for a current malfunction. (See page AC±38)
To confirm the trouble indication, perform the following steps.
(1) With the engine ON, enter the trouble code check mode.
(2) Press the R/F switch to enter actuator check mode, and set the operation to Step No. 3.
(3) Press the AUTO switch to return to diagnostic sensor check mode.
(4) The A/C light starts to blink after approx. 3 secs.

5The A/C amplifier memorizes the trouble code of the respective malfunction when it occurs
for period of time indicated in the brackets.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
(See page AC±26).
(See page IN±30)
Check voltage between terminals TW and SG of A/C amplifier connector.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on matrix
chart (See page AC±26).  However, if the light is still
blinking, check and replace A/C amplifier.
Check engine coolant temperature sensor.
Replace engine coolant temperature sensor.
Check harness and connector between A/C amplifier and engine coolant
temperature sensor (See page 
IN±30).
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Check and replace A/C amplifier.
Remove A/C amplifier with connectors still con-
nected.
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Measure voltage between terminal TW of SG
of A/C amplifier connector at each temperature.
HINT: As the temperature increases, the voltage decreases 
gradually.
Voltage:  
at 0°C (32°F):     2.8 ~ 3.2  V
at 40°C (104°F):  1.8 ~ 2.2  V
at 70°C (158°F):  1.3 ~ 1.5  V
1. Remove A/C unit (See page AC±80).
2. Remove engine coolant temperature sensor.
Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of en-
gine coolant temperature sensor connector at each
temperature.
 
HINT: As the temperature increases, the resistance
 decreases gradually.
Resistance:  
at  0°C (32°F):      Below 50 k
at  40°C (104°F):   2.4  ~   2.8 k
at 100°C (212°F):  Over 0.2 k
