TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
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 for Refrigerant LeaksNJS000HY
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant
leakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow
extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electrical leak detector or fluorescent dye leak
detector (SST: J-42220).
If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electrical leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was repaired and
not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electrical leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electrical leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improve the
chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak DetectorNJS000HZ
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles (SST: J-42220) in a low sunlight area
(area without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a
bright green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain open-
ing indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner (SST: J-43872) to prevent future
misdiagnosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electrical leak detector.
NOTE:
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be
checked are clean.
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This can also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.
Dye InjectionNJS000I0
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and was
replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi).
2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refrigerant dye into the injector tool (SST: J-41459).
3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C low-pressure side service valve.
4. Start engine and switch A/C ON.
5. When the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye
through the low-pressure service valve using dye injector tool (SST: J-41459) (refer to the manufacture’s
operating instructions).
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from the service valve.
CAUTION:
Be careful the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the dye directly into the open system
connection and proceed with the service procedures.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the dye with the system oil. Depending on the
leak size, operating conditions and location of the leak, it may take from minutes to days for the dye to
penetrate a leak and become visible.
8. Attach a blue label as necessary.

CHECKING BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

Make sure that a brake fluid level in reservoir tank is within the
standard (between MAX and MIN lines).

Visually check around reservoir tank for fluid leakage.

If the level is excessively low, check brake system for leakage.

Release parking brake pedal and see if brake warning lamp
goes off. If not, check brake system for fluid leakage.
Checking Brake LineNFS000RW
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary, replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake line (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Drain and RefillNFS000RX
CAUTION:

Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3”.

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.

Before working, disconnect connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery
cable from the negative terminal.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
2. Depress brake pedal, loosen bleed valve, and gradually remove
brake fluid.
