Suction and
discharge pressures
are normal
Warm air from the vents. The A/C system
contains too much
refrigerant oil.
The air mix door is
not operating
properly.Recover refrigerant (see page 21-90)
and evacuate the system (see page
21-91). Adjust the amount of oil in
the system, then recharge the
system (see page 21-92).
Check air mix door operation
(see page 21-72), and repair as
needed.
Suction and
discharge pressures
are roughly equal
and steady The suction and
discharge pressures
equalize when the engine
is revved. The A/C compressor
clutch or the drive
belt is slipping, or the
compressor shaft
seal is leaking.Check whether the A/C compressor
clutch or the drive belt is slipping.
If the drive belt is slipping, replace
the drive belt (see page 4-31). Also
inspect the drive belt auto-tensioner
(see page 4-31).
If the A/C compressor clutch is
slipping, replace it (see page 21-86).
Check the A/C compressor shaft seal.
If it’s leaking, replace the A/C
compressor (see page 21-83).
Suction and
discharge pressures
are roughly equal but
fluctuate Suction and discharge
pressures fluctuate while
running. Pressures
equalize as soon as the
A/C compressor
disengages. The compressor
discharge valve or
the compressor
gasket is faulty.
Replace the A/C compressor (see page
21-83).
Suction and
discharge pressures
are roughly equal
and abnormally low The suction and
discharge pressures do
not change during
continued operation. The A/C system is
undercharged.
Recover refrigerant (see page 21-90),
then do the refrigerant leak check
(see page 21-93). Repair any leaks,
then recharge the system (see page
21-92).
Suction and
discharge pressures
are abnormally high,
but normalize when
the condenser is
cooled The suction pressure
decreases when cool
water is sprayed on the
A/C condenser.
The A/C system is
overcharged.
Recover refrigerant (see page 21-90),
evacuate the system (see page 21-91),
and recharge the system to
specifications (see page 21-92).

Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
Handling Connectors
22-3
General Troubleshooting Information
A A A
A
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box.
2. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and clean and tight connections.
 Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been
disconnected, otherwise you will damage
the alternator diodes.
 Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely
connected or you will s everely damage the
wiring.
 Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
 Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight connectors).
 All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).  Some connectors have a clip on their side used to
attach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
 Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove the
connector from its mount bracket (A).
 Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
 Always reinstall plastic covers.
 Before connecting connectors, make sure the terminals (A) are in place and not bent.

NOTE:
 Before troubleshooting, check the B-CAN DTCs. If any DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the indicated DTC first.
 Before troubleshooting, do the keyless transmitter test (see page 22-142).
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Try to start the engine.
ThesystemisOK,gotostep3.
Go to the immobilizer symptom
troubleshooting (see page 22- 323).
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Connect the HDS to the data link connector.
5. Close all doors, then turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Enter the BODY ELECTRICAL menu, and check the door switch parameters.
Go to step 7.
Faulty door switch, or shorted door switch
wire. Repair as necessary.
7. Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch.
8. Disconnect the immobilizer-keyless control unit 7P connector. 9. Measure the voltage between immobilizer-keyless
control unit 7P connector terminal No. 1 and body
ground.
Go to step 10.
Check the fuse No. 23 (10 A) in the under-
hood fuse/relay box. If the fuse is blown, replace
the fuse and repair a short to ground in the wire. If
the fuse is OK, repair an open in the wire.
10. Disconnect the ignition key switch 6P connector.
11. At the ignition key switch side, check for continuity between ignition key switch 6P connector terminals
No. 1 and No. 2.
Faulty ignition key switch or short to ground,
replace the steering lock assembly (see page 17-14).
Go to step 12. (cont’d)

7. Use a different known-good keyless transmitterand repeat steps 3 and 4.
NOTE: The keyless transmitter does not need to be
programmed to the vehicle for this test.
 If (DIFFERENT) KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER CODE IS RECEIVED is indicated, replace the
keyless transmitter and do the immobilizer
system registration (see page 22-329).
 If KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER CODE IS NOT RECEIVED is indicated, the immobilizer-keyless
control unit is faulty, replace it and do the
immobilizer system registration (see page
22-329).
NOTE: As the keyless transmitter is combined with
the immobilizer transponder, when the
transponder is registered by the HDS, the keyless
transmitter programming is completed
automatically. 1. Start the engine.
 If the engine does not start, go to the immobilizersymptom troubleshooting (see page 22-323).
 If the engine starts, go to step 2.
2. Press the lock or unlock button five or six times to reset the transmitter.
 If the locks work, the transmitter is OK.
 If the locks don’t work, go to step 3.
3. Open the transmitter and check for water damage.  If you find any water damage, replace thetransmitter.
 If there is no water damage, go to step 4.

NOTE:
 The MICU turns on the headlights (high beams) in a dimming mode for the Daytime Running Lights under the following conditions:
– With the ignition switch turned to ON (II)
– The headlight switch OFF
– The parking brake is released (parking brake switch OFF)
 The DRL indicator will come on when one of the headlight (high beams) bulbs is blown, or if the high beam wiring has an open circuit with the daytime running lights ON.
 If the vehicle is equipped with an optional remote control engine start system, the daytime running lights will not function when started with the remote start.
1. Before testing the lighting system, troubleshoot the system using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see page 22-93).
2. Check the No. 12 (10 A), No. 13 (10 A), No. 15 (7.5 A), No. 16 (15 A) , (10 A) , No. 17 (15 A) , (10 A) , No. 18 (20 A), No. 19 (15 A), No. 21 (30 A) , (20 A) , and No. 37 (7.5 A) fuses in the under-dash fuse/relay box. If any fuse
is blown, replace it and go to step 3.
1: With HID
2: Without HID
3. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors E, F, G, S, and T. NOTE: All connector views are shown from wire side of female terminals.

NOTE: If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be
sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System
Diagnosis Test Mode A (see page 22-93).
1. Clear the DTCs using the HDS.
2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then back to ON (II).
3. Start and run the engine for at least 5 seconds then turn the engine off.
4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Go to step 5.
Intermittent failure, the F-CAN
communication line is OK at this time. Check for
loose or poor connections. If the connections are
good, check the battery condition (see page 22-67),
and the charging system.
5. Check for DTCs in the ECM/PCM or ABS/VSA.
Troubleshoot the ECM/PCM or ABS/VSA.
Go to step 6. 6. Do the Gauge Control Module (Tach) Input Test
(see page 22-271).
Go to step 7.
Repair the faulty input then recheck for
DTCs.
7. Substitute a known-good gauge control module (tach).
8. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then back to ON (II).
10. Start and run the engine for at least 5 seconds then turn the engine off.
11. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Substitute a known-good ECM/PCM and
retest. If the system/indication goes away, replace
the original ECM/PCM.
The original gauge control module (tach) is
faulty; replace the gauge control module (tach)
(see page 22-277).
