If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for AT C - 9 3 , "
Magnet Clutch Circuit" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING AUTO MODE
1. Press AUTO switch and A/C switch.
2. Display should indicate AUTO.

Confirm that discharge air and blower speed will depend on ambient, in-vehicle, and set temperatures.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for AT C - 6 7 , "
Power Supply and Ground Circuit for Auto Amp." , then
if necessary, trouble diagnosis procedure for AT C - 9 3 , "
Magnet Clutch Circuit" .
If all operational checks are OK (symptom cannot be duplicated), go to Incident Simulation Tests in GI-28,
"How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical Incident" and perform tests as outlined to simulate driv-
ing conditions environment. If symptom appears, refer to AT C - 4 1 , "

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. controls compressor operation by ambient temperature, intake air temperature
and signal from ECM.
Low Temperature Protection Control
Unified meter and A/C amp. will turn compressor ON or OFF as determined by a signal detected by ambient
sensor and intake sensor.
When ambient temperature is higher than −2°C (28°F), the compres-
sor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when ambient temperature
is lower than −5°C (23°F).
When intake air temperature is higher than 1°C (34°F), the compres-
sor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when intake air tempera-
ture is lower than −5°C (23°F).
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR MAGNET CLUTCH
SYMPTOM: Magnet clutch does not engage when A/C switch is ON.
