AUTO A/C DIAGNOSIS
HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION55-65
STEP 1. Using diagnostic tool , diagnose the CAN bus line.
To prevent damage to diagnostic tool (MUT-III), always turn
the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before
connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool (MUT-III).
(1) Connect diagnostic tool to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C,
Diagnosis P.54C-15).
STEP 2. Using diagnostic tool , read the Electronic control
unit diagnostic trouble code.
Check whether any engine or automatic transmission DTCs are
set or not.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for engine and automatic transmission DTCs.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Refer to GROUP 13A, Diagnostic Trouble Code
13A-17.

STEP 3. Using diagnostic tool , check for any diagnostic
trouble code.
Check if a DTC, which relates to CAN communication-linked
systems below, is set.
Combination meter
DTC indicating a time-out error related to the engine or
automatic transmission control system
ETACS
DTC indicating a time-out error related to the engine or
automatic transmission control system
Multi-center display unit
DTC indicating a time-out error related to the engine or
automatic transmission control system
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check for a DTC related to the relevant system.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check if the DTC is set.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?
YES : Replace the Electronic control unit. On completion,
check that the DTC is not reset.
NO : There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor
engaged connector(s) or open circuit (Refer to
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points

TEST PROCEDURES
1. Select a quiet area for testing.
2. Duplicate problem (customer complaint) as much as
possible.
3. Judge if the noise is abnormal (ie. it is important to
understand the characteristics of the vehicle and its normal
state to judge what is abnormal) - Compare with similar
vehicle if necessary.
4. Detail what and how noise occurs.
5. Find the noise source and verify its transmission by isolating
the subject part from the vehicle.
6. Repair the problem.
7. Explain and report your findings.

Before inspection and adjustment, set vehicle in the following
condition:
Engine coolant temperature: 80 90 C (176.0 194.0 F)
Lights, electric cooling fan and accessories: OFF
Transmission: Neutral ("N" or "P" position)
Steering wheel: Straightforward
1. Check whether or not the idle speed is the standard value.
Standard value: 680
50 r/min
2. Turn on the air conditioning switch and the blower speed
selection dial. Engine idling speed should be within the
standard value:
Standard value: 680
50 r/min
NOTE: The Electronic control unit determines whether the
A/C load is low or high according to the output signal from
the A/C-ECU.
NOTE: It is not necessary to make an adjustment, because
the idling speed is automatically controlled by the ENGINE
ECU. BATTERY

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM35A-2
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM1351000100440
The brake system has been designed to give greater
reliability and durability and to provide excellent brak-
ing performance.
FEATURES
.
Improved braking performance
1. An 8+9 inch tandem brake booster provides suffi-
cient braking force in sudden braking range.
2. 296mm front ventilated disc brakes provide sta-
ble braking force and improved braking feel.
3. 303mm rear ventillated disc brakes are used.
.
Improved stability
1. A 4-wheel anti-lock braking system (4ABS) pre-
vents slipping caused by the vehicle wheels lock-
ing up, in order to maintain a stable vehicle
posture and steering performance.
2. An electronic brake-force distribution (EBD)
makes it possible to maintain the maximum
amount of braking force even when the vehicle's
load is unevenly distributed. 3. Front- and rear-wheel X-type brake line layout
are used.
4. Ventilated discs brakes improve anti-fading per-
formance.
.
Improved serviceability
1. A diagnosis function for the ABS system makes
inspection easier.
2. An outer disc separated hub and rotor make
removal and installation easier.
3. The master cylinder reservoir is utilised for both
brake and clutch fluid on manual transmission
vehicles.
4. The master cylinder filter is coloured black for
improved viewing.
5. The ABS-ECU and hydraulic unit are integrated
to make them more compact and light weight.
