FUNCTION CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1. SET IN SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Set in self-diagnosis mode as follows. Within 10 seconds after starting engine (ignition switch is turned ON.), press OFF switch for at least 5 seconds.
CAUTION:

If battery voltage drops below 12 V during diagnosis STEP-3, door motor speed becomes slower
and as a result, the system may generate an error even when operation is normal. To avoid this,
start engine before performing this diagnosis.

Former STEP-1 (LEDs and display screen are checked) does not exist in this self-diagnosis func-
tion.
>> GO TO 2.
2. STEP-2: SENSOR CIRCUITS ARE CHECKED FOR OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT

3. CHECK TO ADVANCE SELF-DIAGNOSIS STEP-3
Press temperature control (UP) switch (driver side).
Advance to self
-diagnosis STEP-3?
YES >> GO TO 4.

13. CHECK MALFUNCTIONING SENSOR
Refer to the following chart for malfunctioning code No.
(If two or more sensors malfunction, corresponding code Nos. blink respectively twice.)
*1: Perform self-diagnosis STEP-2 under sunshine.
When performing indoors, aim a light (more than 60 W) at sunload sensor, otherwise code No. 25 will indicate
despite that sunload sensor is functioning properly.

bution ratio set becomes that of initial condition.
AUXILIARY MECHANISM: INLET PORT MEMORY FUNCTION
When ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON, inlet port memory function at manual mode can be set.
Operating procedures for this trimmer are as follows:
1. Begin self-diagnosis STEP-5 mode. Refer to AT C - 5 2 , "
Self-diagnosis Function" .
2. Press (fan) UP switch to set system in auxiliary mode.
3. Display shows 61 in auxiliary mechanism. It takes approximately 3 seconds to enable setting operation.
