relay system may be defective. TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Improper amount of refrigerant Malfunction of the air thermo sensor Malfunction of the ambient air temperature sensor Malfunction of the A/C pressure sensor Malfunction of the A/C compressor clutch relay Malfunction of the A/C refrigerant temperature switch Malfunction of the air conditioning compressor clutch Malfunction of the A/C-ECU Malfunction of the PCM Damaged harness wires or connectors
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. Check the defogger and outside/inside air selection damper
control motor operation.
Q: Do the defogger and outside/inside air selection damper control motor
work normally?
YES:
Go to Step 2.
NO:
Refer to

Q: Is the A/C pressure sensor operating properly?
YES:
Go to Step 23.
NO:
Replace the A/C pressure sensor. Check that the air conditioning
works normally.
NOTE: The allowance shall be defined as +/-5%

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
