TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR ABNORMAL PRESSURE
Whenever system's high and/or low side pressure is abnormal, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The marker
above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (normal) pressure range. Since the stan-
dard (normal) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to above table (Ambient air temperature-
to-operating pressure table).
Both High and Low-pressure Sides are Too High.

Ambient Sensor CircuitEJS001HB
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor is attached on the hood lock stay. It detects
ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance value which is
then input into the auto amplifier.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The automatic amplifier includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the temper-
ature detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the auto amp. function.
It only allows the auto amp. to recognize an ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C(0.6°F) per 100 seconds.
As an example, consider stopping for a cup of coffee after high speed driving. Although the actual ambient
temperature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor will increase. This is because
the heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area, location of the ambient sensor.

Intake Sensor CircuitEJS001HE
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Intake Sensor
The intake sensor is located on the heater & cooling unit. It converts
temperature of air after it passes through the evaporator into a resis-
tance value which is then input to the auto amp.
After disconnecting intake sensor harness connector, measure resis-
tance between terminals 1 and 2 at sensor harness side, using the
table below.
If NG, replace intake sensor.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
SYMPTOM: Intake sensor circuit is open or shorted. (24 or -24) is
indicated on auto amp. as a result of conducting Self-diagnosis
