TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
Rear Blower Motor
Check that there are no foreign particles inside the intake unit.
Apply 12 volts to terminal 2 and ground to terminal 1 and ensure that
the blower motor rotates freely and quietly.
Rear Blower Motor Resistor
Check continuity between terminals. There will be resistance, but
there should not be an open or short between any two terminals.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Rear air control system components are:
Front air control
Rear air control
Air mix door motor (rear)
Rear blower motor relay
Rear blower motor resistor
Rear blower motor
System Operation
Rear Air Control
When the rear fan switch (front) (integral to the front air control) is in the rear (R) position the rear blower motor
speeds and the rear temperature/mode are controlled by the rear fan switch (rear) and the rear temperature/
mode dial (rear) (both integral to the rear air control).
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR REAR AIR CONTROL
SYMPTOM:
Blower motor operation is malfunctioning. Refer to ATC-90, "Rear Blower Motor Circuit" .
Temperature/mode operation is malfunctioning.
1. CHECK OPERATION FROM FRONT AIR CONTROL
Does rear temperature/mode operate normally from front air control?
YES or NO
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Refer to AT C - 7 3 , "
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR (REAR)" .

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The front air control controls compressor operation based on ambient and intake temperature and a signal
from ECM.
Low Temperature Protection Control
The front air control will turn the compressor ON or OFF as determined by a signal detected by the intake sen-
sor and the ambient sensor.
When intake air temperature is higher than the preset value, the compressor turns ON. The compressor turns
OFF when intake air temperature is lower than the preset value. That preset value is dependent on the ambi-
ent temperature, refer to the following table.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR MAGNET CLUTCH
SYMPTOM: Magnet clutch does not engage when A/C switch is ON.
1. CHECK INTAKE AND AMBIENT SENSOR CIRCUITS
Check intake and ambient sensors. Refer to ATC-53, "
A/C System Self-diagnosis Function" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >>
Malfunctioning intake sensor. Refer to ATC-133, "Intake Sensor Circuit" .
Malfunctioning ambient sensor. Refer to ATC-125, "Ambient Sensor Circuit" .
