Operational CheckEJS0057J
The purpose of the operational check is to confirm that the system operates properly.
CHECKING BLOWER
1. Turn blower control dial clockwise to "1" position. Blower should operate on low speed.
2. Turn blower control dial clockwise to "2" position, and continue checking blower speed until all speeds are
checked.
3. Leave blower on Maximum speed.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-37, "
Blower Motor Circuit" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING DISCHARGE AIR
1. Turn mode door control dial to each position.
2. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distribution table. Refer to MTC-22, "
Discharge
Air Flow" .
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-34, "
Mode Door" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING RECIRCULATION
1. Set intake door lever to REC position.
2. Operate intake door lever to FRE position.
3. Listen for intake door position change (you should hear blower sound change slightly).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-36, "
Intake Door" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING TEMPERATURE DECREASE
1. Turn temperature control dial counterclockwise to full cold position.
2. Check for cold air at discharge air outlets.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-50, "
Insufficient Cooling" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1. Turn temperature control dial clockwise to full hot position.
2. Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-58, "
Insufficient Heating" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING A/C SWITCH (IF EQUIPPED)
1. Turn fan control dial to the desired (1 to 4 speed) position.
2. Press A/C switch.
3. A/C switch indicator will turn ON.
Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual inspection).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-41, "
Magnet Clutch Circuit (If Equipped)" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING DEFROST A/C SWITCH (IF EQUIPPED)
1. Turn fan control dial to the desired (1 to 4 speed) position.
2. Turn mode dial to ( ) DEF.
3. Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual inspection).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-41, "
Magnet Clutch Circuit (If Equipped)" .
If all operational checks are OK (symptom cannot be duplicated), go to MTC-24, "
How to Perform Trouble
Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair" and perform tests as outlined. If symptom appears, refer to MTC-
24, "SYMPTOM TABLE" and perform applicable trouble diagnosis procedures. Conditions : Engine running at normal operating temperature

Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive.
Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve’s pipe is
frosted or dewed.High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted.Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.
If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the
water freezes causing a
blockage. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
If due to foreign particles,
remove expansion valve
and remove the particles
with dry and compressed air
(not shop air).
If either of the above meth-
ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion
valve.
Replace liquid tank.
Check oil for contamination.
