AUTO A/C DIAGNOSIS
HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION55-69
SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1: When the Ignition Switch is "ON", the A/C does not Operate.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The blower system or the compressor system may
be defective if there is no cool air coming from the
vents.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Malfunction of blower motor
Malfunction of A/C compressor
Refer to component locations GROUP-70
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
DIAGNOSIS
Check that the blower motor operation when the blower
switch is moved to the "HI" position.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Turn the blower speed selection dial to the blower operating
position.
Q: Does the blower motor operate when the speed
selection dial is turned to the blower operating
position?
YES : Refer to Inspection procedure 4 "When the A/C is
operating, temperature inside the passenger
compartment does not decrease (cool air not emitted)
P.55-75."
NO : Refer to Inspection procedure 5 "Blower fan and
motor do not turn P.55-89."
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2: When the Air Outlet Changeover Control Knob is Moved to
DEFROSTER or DEFROSTER/FOOT Position, the A/C or the Inside/outside Air Changeover Damper
Motor does not operate.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the outside/inside air selection damper control
motor does not operate normally, the inside/outside
air changeover damper motor system may be defec-
tive.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Malfunction of the A/C-ECU
Malfunction of the outside/inside air selection
damper control motor
Damaged harness wires or connectors
Refer to component locations GROUP-70
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90

AUTO A/C DIAGNOSIS
HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION55-100
STEP 17. Replace the power transistor.
Q: Does the blower motor operate normally?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : Replace the A/C-ECU. Check that the air conditioning
works normally.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 6: Front Blower Air Amount cannot be Changed.
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
If the blower motor speed cannot be changed, the
power transistor circuit is suspected.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Malfunction of the power transistor
Malfunction of the front A/C-ECU
Damaged harness wires or connectors
Refer to component locations GROUP-70
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tool:
MB991223: Test Harness Set
STEP 1. Check blower power transistor connector C-104
for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is power transistor connector C-104 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP
00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2.The
blower motor should operate normally.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION55-143
PERFORMANCE TEST M1552001400526
The vehicles to be tested should be parked out of direct sun-
light.
1. Close the high and low-pressure valve of the gauge
manifold.
2. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the low-pressure valve
and connect the charging hose (red) to the high-pressure
valve of the gauge manifold.
3. Install the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the charging hose
(blue), and connect the quick joint (for high-pressure) to the
charging hose (red).
To connect the quick joint, press section A firmly
against the service valve until a click is heard.
When connecting, run your hand along the hose while
pressing to ensure that there are no bends in the hose.
4. Connect the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the
low-pressure service valve and connect the quick joint (for
high-pressure) to the high-pressure service valve.
NOTE: The high-pressure service valve is on the A/C pipe
and the low-pressure service valve is on the suction hose.
5. Start the engine.
6. Set the A/C controls as follows:
A/C switch: A/C ON position
Mode selection: FACE position
Temperature control: MAXIMUM COOLING position
Air selection: RECIRCULATION position
Blower switch: Maximum air volume
7. Adjust engine speed to 1,500 r/min with A/C clutch engaged.
8. Engine should be warmed up with doors and windows
closed.
9. Insert a thermometer in the center air outlet and operate the
engine for 20 minutes.
NOTE: If the A/C clutch cycles, take the reading before the
clutch disengages.
10.Note the discharge air temperature.
