3. INDICATOR CHECK
(a) Within 5 sec. after turning the ignition switch on, press the
A/C switch 3 times and turn the blower switch from OFF
to AUTO.
(b) Check that all the indicators light up and go off at 1 second
intervals 4 times in succession.
HINT:
After the indicator check is ended, the system enters the
DTC begins automatically.
Operate the blower switch from AUTO to except AUTO
position when desiring to cancel the check mode.
4. DTC CHECK (SENSOR CHECK)
(a) Perform an indicator check. After the indicator check is
completed, the system enters the DTC check mode auto-
matically.
(b) Read the DTC as indicated by the number of blinks of the
A/C indicator.
HINT:
The illustration shows the blinking pattern associated with the
DTC 12 and 23. If 2 or more DTCs (abnormalities) are indicated,
the lowest number (code) is output first.
(c) Identify the problem using the chart of the DTC.

*1: If the room temp. is approx. ±18.6°C (±3.7°F) or lower, trouble code 11 may be output even though
the system is normal.
*2: If the ambient temp. is approx. ±52.9°C (±61.4°F) or lower, a malfunction code may be output even
though the system is normal.
*3: If the check is being performed in a dark place, DTC 21 (solar sensor circuit abnormal) could be
displayed.
*4: To confirm DTC 22, perform the following steps.
(1) With the engine is running, enter the DTC check mode.
(2) Enter actuator check mode and set the operation to step NO. 1.
(3) Check that the DTC 22 is output.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check voltage between terminals TR and SGTR of A/C amplifier connector.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove center cluster module control with connectors
still connected.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Check voltage between terminals TR and SGTR of A/C amplifi-
er connector at each temperature.
OK:
at 25 °C (77 °F) : 1.8 ± 2.2 V
at 40 °C (104 °F) : 1.2 ± 1.6 V
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the voltage decreases.
NG Go to step 2.
OK
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on problem symptoms table (See page DI±874). Howev-
er, if DTC 11 is output, check and replace A/C amplifier.
2 Check room temperature sensor.
PREPARATION:
Remove room temperature sensor (See page AC±60).
CHECK:
Check resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of room tempera-
ture sensor connector at each temperature.
OK:
at 25 °C (77 °F) : 1.6 ± 1.8 kW
at 40 °C (104 °F) : 0.5 ± 1.7 kW
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
NG Replace room temperature sensor.
OK
