Disassembling STEP 8. Retest the system.
Q: Does a malfunction take place again?
YES:
Replace the A/C-ECU, and check that the outside/inside air
selection damper control motor works normally.
NO:
It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to
HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING/ INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS
.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 4: WHEN THE A/C IS OPERATING, TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE PASSENGER

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.
