SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. controls compressor operation by ambient temperature, intake air temperature
and signal from ECM.
Low Temperature Protection Control
Unified meter and A/C amp. will turn the compressor ON or OFF as determined by a signal detected by ambi-
ent sensor and intake sensor.
When ambient temperature is higher than −2 °C (28 °F), the compres-
sor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when ambient temperature
is lower than −5 °C (23 °F).
When intake air temperature is higher than 1 °C (34 °F), the compres-
sor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when intake air tempera-
ture is lower than −5°C (23 °F).
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR MAGNET CLUTCH
SYMPTOM: Magnet clutch does not engage when A/C switch is ON.

OK >> 1. Replace IPDM E/R. 2. Go to self-diagnosis procedure AT C - 5 4 , "
FUNCTION
CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" and perform self-
daignosis STEP-4. Confirm that magnet clutch opera-
tion usual.
NG >> 1. Replace magnet clutch. Refer to ATC-144, "
Removal
and Installation of Compressor Clutch" .

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data
Monitor" (VQ35DE) or EC-838, "CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor" (VK45DE).
WITHOUT CONSULT-II
1. Start the engine.
2. Check voltage between ECM harness connector F101 terminal 70 (L/R) and ground.
OK or NG
OK >>
WITH CONSULT-II
GO TO 9.

WITHOUT CONSULT-II
GO TO 10.
NG >> Refer to EC-674, "
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR" (VQ35DE) or EC-1364, "REFRIGER-
ANT PRESSURE SENSOR" (VK45DE).
9. CHECK BCM INPUT (FAN ON) SIGNAL
Check FAN ON/OFF signal. Refer to AT C - 4 0 , "
CONSULT-II Function
(BCM)" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 12.
NG >> GO TO 10.
10. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN BCM AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect BCM connector and unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
3. Check continuity between BCM harness connector M3 terminal 28 (BR/Y) and unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector
M57 terminal 57 (BR/Y).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 11.
NG >> Repair harness or connector.

Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
High-pressure side is too low and
low-pressure side is too high. High- and low-pressure sides
become equal soon after com-
pressor operation stops. Compressor pressure opera-
tion is improper.

Both high- and low-pressure sides
are too low.

There is a big temperature
difference between liquid
tank outlet and inlet. Outlet
temperature is extremely
low.

Liquid tank inlet and expan-
sion valve are frosted. Liquid tank inside is slightly
clogged.

Replace liquid tank.

nation.

Temperature of expansion
valve inlet is extremely low
as compared with areas
near liquid tank.

Expansion valve inlet may
be frosted.

occurs somewhere in high-
pressure side. High-pressure pipe located
between liquid tank and
expansion valve is clogged.

Check and repair malfunc-
tioning parts.

Check lubricant for contami-
nation.

nents. Check refrigerant for leaks.
Refer to ATC-158, "

There is a big temperature dif-
ference between expansion
valve inlet and outlet while the
valve itself is frosted. Expansion valve closes a little
compared with the specifica-
tion.

tioning parts.

Check lubricant for contami-
nation.
