Valve E
Shift solenoid valve E controls the hydraulic pressure to switch the lock-up shift valve and lock-up ON and OFF. When
the PCM actuates shift solenoid valve E and A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A to start lock-up. A/T clutch
pressure control solenoid valve A regulates and applies hydraulic pressure to the lock-up control valve to control the
amount of lock-up. The lock-up mechanism operates in D and S (2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears).

Displaying Sensor Inputs at the Climate Control Unit
Check these items before using the sensor input display mode
To run the sensor input display mode, follow these steps
21-13
The climate control unit has a mode that displays the sensor inputs it receives. This mode shows you what data the
climate control unit is receiving from each of the sensors, one at a time, and it can help you determine if a sensor is
faulty.1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and check the recirculation door function; press the recirculation button to switch from FRESH to RECIRC. The air volume and sound should change slightly.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the desired test temperature. When selecting the test temperature, note these items:
 ‘‘Lo’’ temperature setting will default to MAX COOL, VENT, and RECIRC.
 ‘‘Hi’’ temperature setting will default to MAX HOT, FLOOR, and FRESH.
 19 through 31 °C settings will use the automatic climate control logic.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Press and hold both the AUTO and MODE buttons, then start the engine.
3. After the engine starts, release both buttons. The display panel will flash the sensor number and then the value for that sensor. Record the value displayed.
4. To advance to the next sensor, press the A/C button. Sensor Item Displayed Value1 Mode Positioning BIT
2 In-car Temperature °C
3 Outside Air Temperature °C
4 Solar Radiation Sensor Value: Dark = 00, Flashlight = 04, Cloudy = 10, Sunny = 65 10 kcal/m ·h
5 Evaporator Outlet Air Temperature °C
6 Air Mix Opening (Low value indicates cooler air distribution, higher value indicates warmer air distribution) % of opening
7 Recirculation Opening % of opening
8 Vehicle Speed (Vehicle must be driven to display speed) km/h
9 Engine Coolant Temperature °C
A Vent Temperature Air Out (TAO) °C
NOTE:  The sensor values will be displayed in degrees Celsius (°C) or an alphanumeric code. Use the chart to convert the value to degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
 If the sensor value displays ‘‘Er’’ this indicates there is an open or short in the circuit or sensor. Check for DTCs using the HDS, or use the climate control self-diagnostic function.
 If necessary, compare the sensor input display to a known-good vehicle under the same test conditions.
 If the sensor is out of the normal range, refer to the sensor test or substitute a known-good sensor, and recheck.
5. To cancel the sensor input display mode, press the AUTO button or turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). (cont’d)

A/C Compressor Clutch Circuit Troubleshooting
A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH RELAY 4P SOCKET
NOTE:
 It is normal for the A/C compressor to turn off under certain conditions, such as low idle, high engine
coolant temperature, or hard acceleration.
 Do not use this troubleshooting procedure if the fans are also inoperative with the A/C on. Refer to the
symptom troubleshooting index.
 Before doing any symptom troubleshooting, check for powertrain DTCs (see page 11-3).
1. Check the No. 20 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and the No. 36 (10 A) fuse in the
under-dash fuse/relay box.
Go to step 2.
Replace the fuses and recheck. If the fuses
blow again, check for a short in the No. 20 (7.5 A)
and No. 36 (10 A) fuses circuit.
2. Connect the HDS to the DLC.
3. Start the engine.
4. Turn on the A/C.
5. Using the HDS, confirm the following values in the PGM-FI Data List at idle.
ECT Sensor 2 80 100 °C (176 212 °F)
TP Sensor About 0.5 V at idle
RPM More than 670
A/C Switch ON
A/C Clutch ON
A/C Pressure
Sensor 196 455 kPa (28 455 psi)
Go to step 6.
Troubleshoot the value that is not within the
specifications. 6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
7. Remove the A/C compressor clutch relay from the
under-hood fuse/relay box, and test it (see page
22-70).
Go to step 8.
Replace the A/C compressor clutch relay.
8. Measure the voltage between the A/C compressor clutch relay 4P socket terminal No. 1 and body
ground.
Go to step 9.
Replace the under-hood fuse/relay box
(see page 22-65).
Ar e t he f uses OK ?
Are all the values within specif ications? Is the relay OK ?
Is there battery voltage?
