STEP 6. Check the mode selection damper control motor
and potentiometer.
Do not apply battery voltage when the damper is in the
FACE or DEF position.
(1) Operate the mode selection damper control motor as
described in the table below.
(2) Measure the resistances between connector terminals 3
and 5, and between 3 and 7, while the mode selection
damper control motor is running. The resistances should
change gradually within the standard value.
Standard value: 0.8 (DEF)
4.8 (FACE) k
Q: Are the mode selection damper control motor and
potentiometer in good condition?
YES : Replace the A/C-ECU. Then go to Step 7.
NO : Replace the mode selection damper control motor
and potentiometer. Then go to Step 7. LEVER POSITION BATTERY

STEP 2. Check outside/inside air selection damper control
motor connector C-106 for loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is outside/inside air selection damper control motor
connector C-106 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP
00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2. Check
that the outside/inside air selection damper control
motor works normally.
STEP 3. Measure the voltage at outside/inside air selection
damper control motor connector C-106.
(1) Disconnect outside/inside air selection damper control
motor connector C-106, and measure the voltage at the
harness side.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground.
The measured value should be approximately 12 volts
(battery positive voltage).
Q: Does the measured voltage correspond with this range?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between outside/inside
air selection damper control motor connector C-106
(terminal 1) and the ignition switch (IG2).

STEP 5. Check the outside/inside air selection damper
control motor.
Cut off the battery voltage when the damper is in the
inside/outside air position.
Check the outside/inside air selection damper control motor by
the following procedures.
Q: Does outside/inside air selection damper control motor
work normally?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Replace the outside/inside air selection damper
control motor. Check that the outside/inside air
selection damper control motor works normally.
STEP 6. Check A/C-ECU connector C-15 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is A/C-ECU connector C-15 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP
00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2. Check
that the outside/inside air selection damper control
motor works normally. LEVER POSITION BATTERY

STEP 5. Check A/C compressor clutch relay connector
B-18X for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or
terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is A/C compressor clutch relay connector B-18X in
good condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP
00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2. Check
that the air conditioning works normally.
STEP 6. Check the A/C compressor clutch relay continuity.
Follow the table below to check the A/C compressor clutch
relay for continuity.
Q: Is the A/C compressor clutch relay in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Replace the A/C compressor clutch relay. Check that
the air conditioning works normally.
