DTC Confirmation ProcedureBCS0013E
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
If performing this “DTC Confirmation Procedure” again, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait
at least 10 seconds before continuing.
TESTING CONDITION:
Always drive vehicle on a level road to improve the accuracy of test.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Start engine and select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with
CONSULT-II.
2. Make sure that output voltage of A/T fluid temperature sensor is
within the range below.
FLUID TEMP SE: 0.4 - 1.5 V
If out of range, drive vehicle to decrease the voltage (warm up
the fluid) or stop engine to increase the voltage (cool down the
fluid).
3. Select “3RD GR FNCTN P0733” of “DTC WORK SUPPORT”
mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II and touch “START”.
4. Accelerate vehicle to 60 to 75 km/h (37 to 47 MPH) under the following condition and release accelerator
pedal completely.
THROTTLE POSI: Less than 1.0/8 (at all times during step 4)
SLCT LVR POSI: “D” position
–Make sure that “GEAR” shows “4” after releasing pedal.
5. Depress accelerator pedal steadily with 3.5/8 - 4.5/8 of “THROTTLE POSI” from a speed of 60 to 75 km/h
(37 to 47 MPH) until “TESTING” changes to “STOP VEHICLE” or “COMPLETED”. (It will take approxi-
mately 3 seconds.)
If the check result NG appears on CONSULT-II screen, go to AT- 1 4 5 , "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
If “STOP VEHICLE” appears on CONSULT-II screen, go to following step.
–Make sure that “GEAR” shows “3” when depressing accelerator pedal with 3.5/8 - 4.5/8 of
“THROTTLE POSI”.
–If “TESTING” does not appear on CONSULT-II for a long time, select “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” for
“A/T”. In case a 1st trip DTC other than “A/T 3RD GR FNCTN” is shown, refer to applicable “TROU-
BLE DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC”.
6. Stop vehicle.
7. Follow the instruction displayed. (Check for normal shifting referring to the table below.)
8. Make sure that “OK” is displayed. (If “NG” is displayed, refer to AT- 1 4 5 , "
Diagnostic Procedure" .)

Adjustment of A/T PositionBCS0014X
Move selector lever from “P” position to “1” position. You should be
able to feel the detents in each position. If the detents cannot be felt
or if the pointer indicating the position is improperly aligned, the con-
trol cable needs adjustment.
1. Place selector lever in “P” position.
2. Loosen control cable lock nut and place manual shaft in “P”
position.
CAUTION:
Turn wheels more than 1/4 rotations and apply the park
lock.
3. After pushing the control cable with the specified force, move
your hands off the control cable.
4. Connect control cable on manual shaft.
CAUTION:
No application of a force to the manual lever.
5. Tighten control cable lock nut.
6. Move selector lever from “P” to “1” position again. Make sure that selector lever moves smoothly.
7. Apply grease to contacting areas of selector lever and control cable. Install any part removed.
Checking of A/T PositionBCS0014Y
1. Place selector lever in “P” position, and turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
2. Make sure selector lever can be shifted to other than “P” position when brake pedal is depressed. Also
make sure selector lever can be shifted from “P” position only when brake pedal is depressed.
3. Move selector lever and check for excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
4. Confirm selector lever stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all the
positions. Check whether or not the actual position selector lever is in matches the position shown by the
shift position indicator and transaxle body.
5. The method of operating selector lever to individual positions
correctly should be as shown in the figure.
6. Confirm back-up lamps illuminate only when lever is placed in
“R” position. Confirm back-up lamps do not illuminate when
selector lever is in “P” or “N” position with selector lever pushed
against “R” position.
7. Confirm engine can only be started with selector lever in “P” and
“N” positions.
8. Make sure transaxle is locked completely in “P” position.Specified force: 9.8 N (1.0 kg, 2.2 lb)

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorBJS000FI
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?
A/C system works properly.
There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, never perform the lubricant return operation.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 3.
2. PERFORM LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS
1. Start the engine, and set to the following conditions:
–Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
–A/C switch: ON
–Blower speed: Max. position
–Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25 to 30°C (77 to 86°F).]
–Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop the engine.
>> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK REPLACEMENT PART
Should the compressor be replaced?
YES >> GO TO AT C - 2 2 , "LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACE-

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Stop Signal:
At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal malfunction message is delivered to
the unified meter and A/C amp. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.
AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL (AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
The air mix doors are automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.
FAN SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tempera-
ture, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With pressing AUTO switch, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake doors are automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON/OFF operation of the compressor.
MODE DOOR CONTROL
The mode door is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temper-
ature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
