Self-diagnosis
INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnostic system diagnoses sensors, door motors,
blower motor, etc. by system line. Refer to applicable sections
(items) for details. Shifting from normal control to the self-diagnos-
tic system is accomplished by starting the engine (turning the igni-
tion switch from ``OFF'' to ``ON'') and pressing ``
'' switch for at
least 5 seconds. The ``
'' switch must be pressed within 5 sec-
onds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned ``ON''). This
system will be canceled by either pressing
(AUTO) switch or
turning the ignition switch ``OFF''. Shifting from one step to another
is accomplished by means of turning temperature dial clockwise or
counterclockwise, as required.
Additionally shifting from STEP 4 to AUXILIARY MECHANISM is
accomplished by means of pushing
(fan) switch.

The air mix door motor is attached to the heater unit. It rotates so
that the air mix door is opened or closed to a position set by the
auto ampli®er. Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft and
the air mix door position is then fed back to the auto ampli®er by
PBR built-in air mix door motor.
