1. Run engine at 2,000 r/min. Check heater element
with battery at full.
2. Turn "ON" rear window defogger switch. Measure
heater element voltage with circuit tester at rear
window glass centre A. Condition is good if it
indicates about six volts.
3. If 12 volts is indicated at A, there is a break in the
negative terminals from A. Move test bar slowly to
negative terminal to detect where voltage
changes suddenly (0 volts).
4. If 0 volts is indicated at A, there is a break in the
positive terminals from A. Defect where the
voltage changes suddenly (12 volts) in the same
method described above.

STEP 6. Voltage measurement at B-17X A/C
compressor relay connector.
(1) Remove the relay, and measure at the junction
block side.
(2) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and
body earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES :
Go to Step 8.
NO : Go to Step 7.
STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between B-17X
A/C compressor relay connector terminal No.1
and the battery.
NOTE:
Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check
intermediate connector A-13 or C-111
, and repair if necessary.
•Check the A/C compressor relay power supply
line for open circuit.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES :
The trouble can be an intermittent
malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00, How to
Cope with Intermittent Malfunction P.00-5).
NO : Repair the wiring harness.

TEST
M1552008400378
1. Start the engine.
2. Operate the air-conditioner, and then set the
temperature to maximum cooling.
3. Hold the engine speed at 1500 r/min.
4. Check the refrigerant level (bubble state) through
the sight glass.
CAUTION
Use the low-pressure service valve.
NOTE: Use the refrigerant recovery station to
charge the specified refrigerant because you can
not calculate the amount of the refrigerant
properly with the sight glass.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH TESTM1552008500405
1. Disconnect the magnetic clutch connector to the
magnetic clutch.
2. Connect positive battery voltage directly to the
connector for the magnetic clutch.3. If the magnetic clutch is normal, there will be a
"click." If the pulley and armature do not make
contact ("click"), there is a malfunction.

DUAL PRESSURE SWITCH CHECKM1552010400320
1. Remove the dual pressure switch connector and
connect the high/low pressure side terminals
located on the harness side as shown in the
illustration..
2. Install a gauge manifold to the high-pressure side
service valve of the refrigerant line. (Refer to
P.55-98, P.55-99.)
3. When the high/low pressure sides of the dual
pressure switch are at operation pressure (ON)
the resistance should less than two ohms
between the terminals. If open circuit, replace the
switch. Items State

IDLE-UP OPERATION CHECK
M1552001600371
1. Before inspection and adjustment, set vehicle in
the following condition:
•Engine coolant temperature: 80 − 90 °C•Lamps, electric cooling fan and accessories: Set
to OFF
•Transmission: Neutral ("N" or "P" for vehicles with
A/T)
•Steering wheel: Straightforward
2. Check whether or not the idle speed is the
standard value. <1300, 1600> Refer to GROUP
13A, On-vehicle Service − Basic Idle Speed
Adjustment P.13A-387.
<2000> Refer to GROUP 13B, On-vehicle Service
− Basic Idle Speed Adjustment P.13B-324.
Standard value: 750 ± 50 r/min
3. When the A/C is running after turning the A/C
switch to ON, and the blower switch to the 3(MH)
or 4(HI) position, check to be sure that the idle
speed is at the standard value.
Standard value: 850 ± 50 r/min
NOTE: It is not necessary to make an adjustment,
because the idling speed is automatically
adjusted by the ISC system. If, however, a
deviation from the standard value occurs for some
reason, check the ISC system.
