21-621-6 Climate Control
A/C Service Tips and Precautions A/C System Inspection
A
Compressed air mixed with the R-134a forms a
combustible vapor.
The vapor can burn or explode causing serious injury.
Never use compressed air to pressure test R-134a service equipment or vehicle air
conditioning systems.
Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
Be careful when connecting service equipment.
Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
The air conditioning system uses HFC- 134a (R-134a)
refrigerant and polyalkyleneglycol (PAG) refrigerant oil,
which are not compatible with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant
or mineral oil. Do not use R-12 refrigerant or mineral oil
in this system, and do not attempt to use R-12 servicing
equipment; damage to the air conditioning system or
your servicing equipment will result.
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is
certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to
remove R-134a from the air conditioning system.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the
work area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air c onditioning
systems should not be pressure tested or leak tested
with compressed air.
Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
Always disconnect the negative cable from the battery whenever replacing air conditioning parts.
Keep moisture and dirt out of the system. When disconnecting any lines, plug or cap the fittings
immediately; don’t remove the caps or plugs until
just before you reconnect each line.
Before connecting any hose or line, apply a few drops of refrigerant oil to the O-ring.
When tightening or loosening a fitting, use a second wrench to support the matching fitting.
When discharging the system, use an R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station; don’t
release refrigerant into the atmosphere. Before troubleshooting any problem with the air
conditioning system, do the following:
1. With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), inspect the A/C components, the pressure lines, and the hoses for
stains that may indicate a refrigerant or a
compressor oil leak.
2. Check the A/C condenser (A) for material clogging the fins or for damage to the fins:
Carefully clean any material from the A/C condenser fins with water and detergent. If
deeper cleaning is required, clean the fins with
Honda brite cleaner (P/N 08732-0020B).
Be sure to dry the A/C condenser completely.
Refer to the Refrigerant Leak Check (see page 21-93) to confirm leaks if there is visible damage
to the A/C condenser.
Check for stains.

How to Check for DTCs with the HDS
21-9
General Troubleshooting Information
A
1. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0).
2. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
4. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the climate control unit. If it doesn’t, troubleshoot the DLCcircuit (see page 11-204).
5. Select HVAC/CLIMATE CONTROL in the BODY ELECTRICAL menu.
6. Select DTCs in the HVAC/CLIMATE CONTROL menu.
7. Check for DTCs. If any DTCs are indicated, write down the DTCs, then go to the indicated DTC troubleshooting. If no DTCs are indicated, refer to symptom troubleshooting.
NOTE: After troubleshooting, clear the DTCs with the HDS.
For specific operations, refer to the user’s manual that came with the HDS.

The climate control unit has a self-diagnostic function. To run the self-diagnostic function, do the following:
1. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0).
2. Press and hold the AUTO and RECIRCULATION buttons, turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then release the AUTO and RECIRCULATION buttons.
3. All LCD segments come on for 2 seconds, then self-diagnostic function begins.
NOTE: The blower motor will run at various speeds when in the self-diagnostic mode, regardless of what the
panel is displaying. If there is any problem in the system, the temperature indicator will light up the segment (A through P) and AUTO indicator corresponding to the error. The temperature indicator will then alternate every second between
displaying ‘‘88’’ (all segments lit) and the error code segment (A through P) and AUTO indicator. To determine
the meaning of the DTC, refer to checking for DTCs.
If there are no problems detected, the segments will not illuminate, and the system will appear to be turned off.
4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to cancel the self-diagnostic function. After completing repair work, run the self-diagnostic function again to make sure that there are no other DTCs.

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)
