TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Intake Sensor Circuit
EJS006BZ
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Intake Sensor
The intake sensor is located on the heater & cooling unit. It converts
temperature of air after it passes through the evaporator into a resis-
tance value which is then input to the front air control.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR INTAKE SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Intake sensor circuit is open or shorted. (56 or 57 is indi-
cated on front air control as a result of conducting Self-diagnosis.)
1.CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect intake sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between intake sensor harness connector M82
terminal 2 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 4.
2.CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND FRONT AIR CONTROL
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect front air control connector.
3. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M82
terminal 1 and front air control harness connector M60 terminal
13.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair harness or connector.

AIR CONDITIONER FILTER
AIR CONDITIONER FILTER
PFP:27277
Removal and InstallationEJS006C7
FUNCTION
The air inside the passenger compartment is filtered by the air condi-
tioner filters when the heater or A/C controls are set on either the
recirculation or fresh mode. The two air conditioner filters are located
in the heater and cooling unit assembly.
REPLACEMENT TIMING
Replacement of the two air conditioner filters is recommended on a regular interval depending on the driving
conditions. Refer toMA-8, "
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE". It may also be necessary to replace the two air con-
ditioner filters as part of a component replacement if the air conditioner filters are damaged.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove the RH lower dash side finisher. Refer toEI-33, "BODY SIDE TRIM".
2. Remove the front pillar lower finisher. Refer toEI-33, "
BODY SIDE TRIM".
3. Remove the lower glove box.
a. Remove the two lower glove box lower screws.
b. Open the lower glove box, then remove the two lower glove box
upper screws.
c. Disconnect the two upper clips and remove the lower glove box
from the instrument panel to access the air conditioner filter
cover.
4. Remove the screw and remove the air conditioner filter cover.
5. Remove the air conditioner filters from the heater and cooling
unit housing.

6. Insert the first new air conditioner filter into the heater and cool-
ing unit housing and slide it over to the right. Insert the second
new air conditioner filter into the heater and cooling unit housing.
NOTE:
The air conditioner filters are marked with air flow arrows. The
end of the microfilter with the arrow should face the rear of the
vehicle. The arrows should point downward.
7. Install the air conditioner filter cover.
8. Install the lower glove box in reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
lUse the two tabs at the bottom of the lower glove box to align the lower glove box for installation.
lThe clips at the top of the lower glove box must be fully seated before installing the lower glove box
upper and lower screws.
