Starting Fan Speed Control
Start up from COLD SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 56°C (133°F), the blower will not
operate for a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay time varies depending on the
ambient and engine coolant temperature.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower starting delay will be 150 seconds as described
above. After this delay, the blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant temperature rises above
56°C (133°F), and then the blower speed will increase to the objective speed.
Start up from usual or HOT SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO switch is pressed. The blower speed will gradu-
ally rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).
Blower Speed Compensation
Sunload
When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature are very close, the blower will be operating at low
speed. The low speed will vary depending on the sunload. During conditions of low or no sunload, the blower
speed is at duty ratio 25%. During high sunload conditions, the unified meter and A/C amp. raise the blower
speed (duty ratio 49%).
Fan Speed Control Specification
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Brush-less Motor
The blower motor utilizes a brush-less motor with a rotating magnet.
Quietness is improved over previous motors where the brush was
the point of contact and the coil rotated.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR BLOWER MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Blower motor operation is malfunctioning.

CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette
smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind movement) so that the
leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set (SST: J-39183) to the A/C service valves.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi) above 16°C (61°F). If less
than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant.
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C (61°F), leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa
(3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi).
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet h) to the
low-pressure side [evaporator drain hose i to shaft seal m(VQ35DE) or n(VK45DE)]. Refer to ATC-152,
"Components" . Perform a leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be
checked and move the leak detected probe completely around the connection/component.
Compressor
Check the fitting of high- and low-pressure flexible hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.
Condenser
Check the fitting of high-pressure flexible hose and pipe.
Liquid tank
Check the fitting of refrigerant pressure sensor.
Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to pre-
vent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any
false readings by leak detector.
Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the
cooling unit. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the manufacturer’s recommended
procedure for actual wait time) before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose.
Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with water
or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of suspected
leak, then repeat check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7 - 10.
7. Start the engine.
8. Set the A/C control as follows;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. MODE door position: VENT (Ventilation)
c. Intake door position: Recirculation
d. Temperature setting: Max. cold
e. Fan speed: High
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Stop the engine and perform leak check again following steps 4
through 6 above.
Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after stopping
the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the compressor. The
pressure on the high-pressure side will gradually drop after
refrigerant circulation stops and pressure on the low-pressure
side will gradually rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks are
more easily detected when pressure is high.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEMPFP:00000
Multifunction Switch Self-Diagnosis FunctionNKS0048T
It can check each switch ON/OFF (continuity) operation of centralized switches.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
Turn the ignition switch from OFF position to ACC position.
Within 10 seconds, press and hold BACK switch and switch
for 3 seconds or more. Then, when these switches are released,
the buzzer sounds, all indicators of multifunction switch turned
on, and self-diagnosis mode is started.
When each switch is pressed, the switch continuity can be
checked by sounding the buzzer.
CAUTION:
The hazard switch cannot be checked.
FINISHING SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
When the ignition switch is turned ON, self-diagnosis mode is canceled.
Multi AV System Diagnosis FunctionsNKS0048U
There are 2 diagnosis functions (On board diagnosis and diagnosis using CONSULT-II). It is necessary to
use them properly according to the condition. If the on board diagnosis starts, perform diagnosis with on
board diagnosis. If the on board diagnosis does not start (because the display is not displayed, the multi-
function switch operation is not activated, etc.), perform diagnosis using CONSULT-II.
At on board diagnosis, the AV (NAVI) control unit diagnosis function starts when multifunction switch oper-
ation and the AV (NAVI) control unit performs the diagnosis for each unit of system. Then, it displays the
results on the display.
At diagnosis using CONSULT-II, the AV (NAVI) control unit diagnosis function starts when the CAN com-
munication and the AV (NAVI) control unit perform the diagnosis for each unit of system.
On Board DiagnosisNKS0048V
DESCRIPTION
It has Self-Diagnosis mode for conducting trouble diagnosis automatically and a Confirmation/Adjustment
mode for operating manually.
Self-diagnosis mode diagnoses AV (NAVI) control unit and communication of each unit composing sys-
tem, and displays self-diagnosis results. NAVI control unit diagnoses communication with GPS antenna
simultaneously.
Confirmation/Adjustment mode is used to monitor the vehicle signals requiring operation and judgement
by a technician (malfunctions that cannot be automatically judged by the system), the confirmation/
change/adjustment of setting value, the error history of system, and the communication condition of sys-
tem.

Steering Angle Adjustment
The steering angle output value detected with the gyroscope can be
adjusted.
Speed Calibration
Usually the automatic distance correction function adjusts the mal-
function in distance caused by the tires wearing down or the tire
pressure change. If prompt adjustment is necessary when the tire
chains are installed etc., perform this procedure.
ERROR HISTORY
The diagnostic results of “Self-diagnosis” determine if any malfunction occurred between selecting “Self-diag-
nosis” and displaying “Self-diagnostic Results”.
If an error occurred before the ignition switch was turned ON and does not occur again until “Self-diagnosis” is
completed, the trouble diagnosis result will be judged normal. Therefore, errors in the past which cannot be
found by “Self-diagnosis”, must be found by checking the “Error record”.
The error history shows the error occurrence frequency in past. The frequency of occurrence is displayed by 2
types: the count down type and the count up type. Select either type according to the error item.
In “Error History” of models with NAVI, time and place that the selected error last occurred are displayed. Be
careful about the following.
If there is a malfunction with the GPS antenna circuit board in the NAVI control unit, the correct date of
occurrence may not be able to be displayed.
Place of the error occurrence is represented by the position of the current location mark at the time an
error occurred. If current location mark has deviated from the correct position, then the place of the error
occurrence cannot be located correctly.
