COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
If cool air is not distributed when the A/C switch is on,
the air thermo sensor or the A/C compressor relay
system may be defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

•Malfunction of the air thermo sensor
•Malfunction of the dual pressure switch
•Malfunction of the A/C compressor relay
•Malfunction of the A/C refrigerant temperature
switch
•Malfunction of the magnetic clutch
•Malfunction of the manual air conditioner control
panel (A/C-ECU)
•Damaged the wiring harness or connectors
•Malfunction of the engine-ECU or the
engine-A/T-ECU
