NOTE: Refer to GROUP 14, Troubleshooting P.14-5
for the condenser fan.
SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1: When the Ignition Switch is "ON" the A/C does not Operate.
COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
The blower system or the compressor system may
be defective if there is no cool air coming from the
spit hole.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of blower motor
•Malfunction of A/C compressor
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 switch to the "HI" position.
Q: Does the blower motor operate when the blower
switch is moved to the "HI" position?
YES :
Refer to Inspection procedure 3
"When the A/C is operating, temperature
inside the passenger compartment does not
decrease (cool air is not emitted).
P.55-11."
YES : Refer to Inspection procedure 4
"When the A/C is operating, temperature
inside the passenger compartment does not
decrease (cool air is not emitted).
P.55-20."
