STEP 8. Replace the power transistor.
Q: Does the blower motor operate normally?
YES:
It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to
HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING/ INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS
.
NO:
Replace the A/C-ECU. Check that the air conditioning works
normally.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 7: THE A/C INDICATOR FLASHES TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT) If the A/C indicator flashes, inadequate refrigerant quantity, the ambient air
temperature sensor circuit or the A/C pressure sensor circuit is suspected. TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Malfunction of the A/C pressure sensor Malfunction of the ambient air temperature sensor Malfunction of the A/C-ECU
DIAGNOSIS Required Special Tools:
MB991223: Test Harness Set MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)
MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.) MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with CAN
communication system)
STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code.
Check if an A/
C-ECU DTC is set.

AUTO A/C DIAGNOSIS INTRODUCTION After air is taken in through the damper, it is fed to the evaporator by the blower fan
and motor and cooled. The air cooled by the air mix damper is mixed appropriately
with the warmed air to achieve a comfortable temperature. If the A/C does not
operate or the cooled air is not discharged, the system components or relay may be
faulty. AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If you follow them carefully, you
will be sure that you have exhausted most of the possible ways to find a heater, air
conditioning and ventilation fault.
1. Gather information from the customer.
2. Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.
3. Find the malfunction by following
SYMPTOM CHART
.
4. Verify malfunction is eliminated.
