AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
Stop Signal:
At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal malfunction message is delivered to
the unified meter and A/C amp. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.
AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL (AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
The air mix door is automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.
FAN SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tempera-
ture, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With pressing AUTO switch, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake doors are automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON-OFF operation of the compressor.
OUTLET DOOR CONTROL
The outlet door is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temper-
ature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.

Refer to AV- 6 0 , "SETTING SCREEN" . (without navigation system)
Refer to AV- 9 4 , "
Vehicle Electronic Systems" . (with navigation system)
Panic Alarm Operation
When key switch is OFF (when ignition key is not inserted in key cylinder), BCM turns on and off horn and
headlamp intermittently with input of PANIC ALARM signal from key fob.
The alarm automatically turns off after 25 seconds or when BCM receives any signal from key fob.
Panic alarm operation mode can be changed using “PANIC ALARM SET” mode in “WORK SUPPORT”.
Refer to BL-68, "
Work Support" .
For detailed description, refer to BL-186, "
VEHICLE SECURITY (THEFT WARNING) SYSTEM" .
Keyless Power Window Down (Open) Operation
When key fob unlock switch is turned ON with ignition switch OFF, and key fob unlock switch is detected to be
on continuously for 3 seconds, the driver's door and passenger's door power windows are simultaneously
opened.
Power window is operated to open and the operation continues as long as the key fob unlock switch is
pressed.
Keyless power window down operation mode can be changed using “PW DOWN SET” mode in “WORK SUP-
PORT”. Refer to BL-68, "
Work Support"
Room Lamp and Ignition Key Ring Illumination Operation
When the following conditions come:
condition of interior lamp switch is DOOR position;
door switch OFF (when all the doors are closed);
Remote keyless entry system turns on interior lamp (for 30 seconds) with input of UNLOCK signal from key
fob. For detailed description, refer to LT- 1 5 9 , "
INTERIOR ROOM LAMP" .
CAN Communication System DescriptionAIS004MC
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitAIS004RM
Refer to LAN-30, "CAN COMMUNICATION" .

PREPARATION
1. Make sure that the following parts are in good order.
Battery
Ignition system
Engine oil and coolant levels
Fuses
ECM harness connector
Va c u u m h o s e s
Air intake system
(Oil filler cap, oil level gauge, etc.)
Fuel pressure

Evaporative emission system
2. On air conditioner equipped models, checks should be carried out while the air conditioner is OFF.
3. On automatic transmission equipped models, when checking idle rpm, ignition timing and mixture ratio, checks should be carried out while selector lever is in P or N position.
4. When measuring CO percentage, insert probe more than 40 cm (15.7 in) into tail pipe.
5. Turn OFF headlamp, heater blower, rear window defogger.
6. Keep front wheels pointed straight ahead.

DTC P1574 ASCD VEHICLE SPEED SENSORPFP:31036
Component DescriptionABS006WQ
The ECM receives two vehicle speed signals via CAN communication line. One is sent from “unified meter and
A/C amp.”, and the other is from TCM (Transmission control module). The ECM uses these signals for ASCD
control. Refer to EC-36, "
AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL DEVICE (ASCD)" for ASCD functions.
On Board Diagnosis LogicABS006WR
This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic.
The MIL will not light up for this diagnosis.
NOTE:
If DTC P1574 is displayed with DTC U1000, U1001, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC
U1000, U1001. Refer to EC-171
.
If DTC P1574 is displayed with DTC P0500, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0500.
Refer to EC-391
If DTC P1574 is displayed with DTC P0605, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0605.
Refer to EC-402
DTC Confirmation ProcedureABS006WS
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Step 3 may be conducted with the drive wheels lifted in the shop or by driving the vehicle. If a road test
is expected to be easier, it is unnecessary to lift the vehicle.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Drive the vehicle at more than 40 km/h (25 MPH).
4. If DTC is detected, go to EC-608, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-II” above.
