3. Turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
5. Press the AUTO switch.
6. Confirm that the set temperature remains at previous temperature.
7. Press OFF switch.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-112, "
Memory Function" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING BLOWER
1. Press fan (UP:+) switch. Blower should operate on low speed. The fan symbol should have one blade lit.
2. Press fan (UP:+) switch again, and continue checking blower speed and fan symbol until all speeds are
checked.
3. Leave blower on max. speed.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-89, "
Blower Motor Circuit" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING DISCHARGE AIR (MODE SWITCH AND DEF SWITCH)
1. Press MODE switch and DEF switch.
2. Each position indicator should change shape.
3. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distribution table. Refer to AT C - 3 7 , "

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Unified Meter and A/C Amp. (Automatic Amplifier)
The unified meter and A/C amp. has a built-in microcomputer which
processes information sent from various sensors needed for air con-
ditioner operation. The air mix door motor, mode door motor, upper
ventilator door motor, intake door motor, blower motor and compres-
sor are then controlled.
When the various switches and temperature control switch are oper-
ated, data is input to the unified meter and A/C amp. from the AV
control unit / NAVI control unit using CAN communication.
Self-diagnosis functions are also built into unified meter and A/C
amp. to provide quick check of malfunctions in the auto air condi-
tioner system.
Potentio Temperature Control (PTC)
The PTC is built into the multifunction switch. It can be set at an
interval of 0.5
C (1.0F) in the 18C (60F) to 32C (90F) tempera-
ture range by pressing temperature control switch. The set tempera-
ture is displayed.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR A/C SYSTEM
SYMPTOM: A/C system does not come on.
