INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check voltage between terminals S5TS and TS of A/C amplifier connector.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove center cluster module control with connectors
still connected.
(b) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure voltage between terminals S5TS and TS of A/C ampli-
fier connector when the solar sensor is subjected to an electric
light, and when the sensor is covered by a cloth.
OK:

HINT:
As the inspection light is gradually moved away from the sen-
sor, the voltage increases.
NG Go to step 2.

Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on problem symptoms table (See page DI±874). Howev-
er, if DTC 21 is displayed, check and replace A/C amplifier.

PREPARATION:
Remove solar sensor (See page AC±59).
CHECK:
(a) Cover the sensor by a cloth.
(b) Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of solar
sensor connector.
HINT:
Connect positive (+) lead of ohmmeter to terminal 2 and nega-
tive (±) lead to terminal 1 of the solar sensor.
OK:
Resistance : 8W (No continuity)
PREPARATION:
Remove the cloth from the solar sensor and subject the sensor
to electric light.
CHECK:
Measure resistance.
OK:
Resistance : Below 10 kW (Continuity)
HINT:
As the electric light is moved gradually away from the sensor,
the resistance increases.
NG Replace solar sensor.
OK
3 Check harness and connector between A/C amplifier and solar sensor
(See page IN±41).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK
Check and replace A/C amplifier.

DTC 22 Compressor Lock Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This sensor sends 1 pulse par engine revolution to the A/C amplifier. If the number ratio of the compressor
speed divided by the engine speed is smaller than a predetermined value, the A/C amplifier turns the com-
pressor off. And, the indicator flashes at about 1 sec. intervals.

DTC 23 Pressure Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This pressure switch sends the appropriate signals to the A/C amplifier when the A/C refrigerant pressure
drops too low or rises too high. When the A/C amplifier receives these signals, if outputs signals via the A/C
amplifier to switch off the compressor relay and turns the magnetic clutch off.
