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

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?

SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations (see page 24-11) and the
precautions and procedures (see page 24-13) before
doing repairs or service.
1. Do the battery terminal disconnection procedure (see page 22-68).
2. Disconnect the A/C line from the evaporator core
(see page 21-78).
3. Remove the air cleaner housing assembly (see page 11-345).
4. When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant from the radiator (see page 10-8).
5. From under the hood, slide the hose clamps (A) back. Disconnect the inlet heater hose (B) and the
outlet heater hose (C) from the heater unit. Note the
orientation of the hoses.
Engine coolant will run out when the hoses are
disconnected; drain it into a clean drip pan. Be sure
not to let coolant spill on the electrical parts or the
painted surfaces. If any coolant spills, rinse it off
immediately. 6. Remove the mounting nut from the heater unit.
Take care not to damage or bend the fuel lines or
brake lines, etc.
7. Remove the dashboard (see page 20- 108).
8. Disconnect the connector (A) from the blower motor. Remove the wire harness clip (B).
