HEATER AND VENTILATION 1A-3
BODY VENTILATION
The body ventilation system of this vehicle has a fresh air intake located at the cowl top panel. When fresh air intake
control lever is at FRESH AIR position, ventilating air is drawn into the interior from the cowl center garnish and
drawn out from the ventilator outlet provided at each side body outer panel (both right and left side).

AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-9
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

A large rattling noise is heard at
idle or sudden acceleration.
Loosen pulley mounting bolt.

Worn or broken bearings.
Retighten bolt.

Replace bearings.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM TENSION PULLEY
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

Clattering noise is heard from
pulley.

Pulley cranks upon contact.
Worn or damaged bearings.

Cracked or loose bracket.
Replace bearings.

Replace or retighten bracket.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM EVAPORATOR
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

Whistling sound is heard from
evaporator.
Depending on the combination of
the interior / exterior
temperatures, engine rpm and
refrigerant pressure, the
refrigerant flowing out of the
expansion valve may, under
certain conditions, make a
whistling sound.
At times, slightly decreasing
refrigerant volume may stop this
noise.

Inspect expansion valve and
replace if faulty.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM BLOWER MOTOR
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection

Blower motor emits a chirping
sound in proportion to its speed of
rotation.

Fluttering noise or large droning
noise is heard from blower motor.
Worn or damaged motor brushes
or commutator.

Leaves or other debris
introduced from fresh air inlet to
blower motor.
Repair or replace blower motor.

Remove debris and make sure
that the screen at fresh air inlet is
intact.

TABLE ± A ªABSº WARNING LAMP CIRCUIT CHECK ± LAMP DOES NOT
COME ªONº AT IGNITION SWITCH ON
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Operation (ON / OFF) of the ªABSº warning lamp is controlled by the ABS control module and ABS lamp driver mod-
ule.
If the Antilock brake system is in good condition, the ABS control module turns the ªABSº warning lamp ON at the
ignition switch ON, keeps it ON for 2 seconds only and then turns it OFF. If an abnormality in the system is detected,
the lamp is turned ON by ABS control module. Also, it is turned ON by ABS lamp driver module when the connector
of the ABS control module was disconnected.

DTC 57 (DTC C1057) ± SOLENOID AND PUMP MOTOR POWER SOURCE
CIRCUIT
DESCRIPTION
The ABS control module monitors the voltage at terminal ( ªA11º and ªA27º) of the fail-safe and pump motor relays
circuit constantly with the ignition switch turned ON. When all solenoid circuit voltages are below the specified value
or the voltage at the terminal ªA27º became below the specified value while the pump motor is operating, this DTC
will be set. As soon as the voltage rises to the specified level, the set DTC will be cleared.
INSPECTION
STEPACTIONYESNO

of these prohibited services will affect original performance
of ABS hydraulic unit / control module assembly.
HYDRAULIC UNIT INSPECTION

Check hydraulic unit for fluid leakage.
If any, repair or replace.
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Using special tool, disconnect brake pipes from ABS hydraulic
unit / control module assembly and loosen flare nuts as shown
figure.
