AUXILIARY MECHANISM: Temperature setting trimmer
The trimmer compensates for differences in range of  3ÉC between
temperature setting (displayed digitally) and temperature felt by
driver.
Operating procedures for this trimmer are as follows:
+Begin Self-diagnosis STEP 4 mode.
+Press
(fan) switch to set system in auxiliary mode.
+Turn temperature dial clockwise or counterclockwise as
desired. Temperature will change at a rate of 1ÉC each time a
switch is pressed.

Operational Check
The purpose of the operational check is to con®rm that the system
operates properly.
CONDITIONS
+Engine running and at normal operating temperature.
PROCEDURE
1. Check memory function
a. Set the temperature 25ÉC.
b. Press OFF switch.
c. Turn the ignition off.
d. Turn the ignition on.
e. Press the AUTO switch.
f. Con®rm that the set temperature remains at previous tempera-
ture.
g. Press OFF switch.
2. Check blower
a. Press fan switch one time.
Blower should operate on low speed.
The fan symbol should have one blade lit
.
b. Press fan switch one more time, and continue checking blower
speed and fan symbol until all speeds are checked.
c. Leave blower on MAX speed
.
3. Check discharge air
a. Press mode switch four times and DEF button.

b. Con®rm that discharge air comes out according to the air dis-
tribution table at left.
Refer to ``Discharge Air Flow'' (HA-13).
NOTE:
Con®rm that the compressor clutch is engaged (visualinspec-
tion) and intake door position is at FRESH when the DEF
is selected.
Intake door position is checked in the next step.
4. Check recirculation
a. Press RECswitch.
Recirculation indicator should illuminate.
b. Listen for intake door position change (you should hear blower
sound change slightly).
5. Check temperature dial
a. Turn temperature dial counterclockwise until 18ÉC is displayed.
b. Check for cold air at discharge air outlets.
c. Turn temperature dial clockwise until 32ÉC is displayed.
d. Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Automatic ampli®er (Auto amp.)
The auto ampli®er has a built-in microcomputer which processes
information sent from various sensors needed for air conditioner
operation. The air mix door motor, mode door motor, intake door
motor, blower motor and compressor are then controlled.
The auto ampli®er is unitized with control mechanisms. Signals
from various switches and Potentio Temperature Control (PTC) are
directly entered into auto ampli®er.
Self-diagnostic functions are also built into auto ampli®er to provide
quick check of malfunctions in the auto air conditioner system.
Potentio temperature control (PTC)
The PTC is built into the A/C auto amp. It can be set at an interval
of 1ÉC in the 18ÉC to 32ÉC temperature range by turning the tem-
perature dial. The set temperature is digitally displayed.
