Potentio Temperature Control (PTC)
There are two PTCs (passenger and driver) built into the front air
control. They can be set at an interval of 0.5
°C (1.0 °F) in the 16 °C
(60 °F) to 32 °C (90 °F) temperature range by rotating the temperature
dial. The set temperature is displayed.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR A/C SYSTEM
SYMPTOM: A/C system does not come on.
1.CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR FRONT AIR CONTROL
1. Disconnect front air control connector.
2. Check voltage between front air control harness connector M49 terminals 14 and 22, and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check 10A fuses [Nos. 8 and 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]. Refer to PG-73
.
• If fuses are OK, check harness for open circuit. Repair or replace as necessary.
• If fuses are NG, replace fuse and check harness fo r short circuit. Repair or replace as neces-
sary.
2.CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT FOR FRONT AIR CONTROL

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Intake door control system components are:• Front air control
• Intake door motor
• In-vehicle sensor
• Ambient sensor
• Optical sensor
• Intake sensor
System Operation
The intake door control determines the intake door posit ion based on the position of the recirculation switch.
When the recirculation switch is depressed the intake door motor rotates closing off the fresh air inlet and
recirculating the cabin air. If the recirculation switch is depressed again, the intake door motor rotates in the
opposite direction, again allowing fresh air into the cabin.

OK or NG
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 frost-
ed 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 wa-
ter freezes causing a block-
age. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
• If due to foreign particles, re-
move 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.
