Operating procedures for this trimmer are as follows:
1. Set temperature at 25ÉC.
2. Set fan control dial to OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Set in self-diagnostic mode as follows. Within 10 seconds after starting engine (ignition switch is turned
ON.), press intake switch for at least 5 seconds.

Operational Check
The purpose of the operational check is to con®rm that the system
is as it should be. The systems which will be checked are the
blower, mode (discharge air), intake air, temperature decrease,
temperature increase and A/C switch.
CONDITIONS:
+Engine running and at normal operating temperature.
PROCEDURE:
1. Check blower
1) Turn fan control dial to 1st speed. Blower should operate at low
speed.
2) Turn fan control dial to 2nd speed, and continue checking
blower speed until all speeds are checked.
3) Leave blower on MAX speed.
2. Check discharge air
1) Turn mode control dial to each position.
2) Con®rm that discharge air comes out according to the air dis-
tribution table at left.
Refer to ªDischarge Air Flowº, ªDESCRIPTIONº (HA-14) in Y61
SERVICE MANUAL, Publication No. SM7E-2Y61G1.
NOTE:
Con®rm that the compressor clutch is engaged (sound or
visual inspection) and intake door position is at FRESH when
the DEF position is selected.
Intake door position is checked in the next step.

2) Press intake switch again. Fresh indicator should illuminate.
3) Listen for intake door position change (you should hear blower
sound change slightly).
4. Check temperature decrease
1) Turn temperature control dial until 18ÉC.
2) Check for cold air at discharge air outlets.
5. Check temperature increase
1) Turn temperature control dial until 32ÉC.
2) Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.
6. Check A/C switch
1) Turn fan control dial to AUTO position.
2) Press A/C switch. (LED will turn ON.)
Con®rm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual
inspection).
(Discharge air and suction air will depend on ambient, in-ve-
hicle and set temperatures.)
