Potentio Temperature Control (PTC)
The PTC is built into the A/C controller. It can be set at an interval of
1°C (2.0°F) in the 18°C (60°F) to 32°C (90°F) temperature range by
turning the temperature control dial.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR A/C SYSTEM
SYMPTOM: A/C system does not come on.
1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
1. Disconnect unified meter connector and A/C amp. connector.
2. Check voltage between unified meter and A/C amp. harness

harness connector M50 terminal 46 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check 10A and 15A fuses [Nos. 10, 11, 12 and 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]. Refer to PG-
85, "FUSE BLOCK - JUNCTION BOX (J/B)" .
If fuses are OK, check harness for open circuit. Repair or replace if necessary.
If fuses are NG, check harness for short circuit and replace fuse.
