ature, blower motor duty ratio and compressor operation.
Checks must be made visually, by listening the sound, or by touching air outlets with hand, etc. for improper
operation.
*1: FOOT position during automatic control. Refer to "AUXILIARY MECHANISM: FOOT POSITION SETTING
TRIMMER".
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 8.
NG >>  Air outlet does not change.
Go to Mode Door Motor Circuit. Refer to ATC-57, "
Mode Door Motor Circuit".
 Intake door does not change. Go to Intake Door Motor Circuit. Refer to ATC-62, "
Intake Door Motor Circuit".
 Discharge air temperature does not change. Go to Air Mix Door Motor Circuit. Refer to ATC-59, "
Air Mix Door Motor Circuit".
 Blower motor operation is malfunctioning.
Go to Blower Motor Circuit. Refer to ATC-64, "
Blower Motor Circuit".
 Magnet clutch does not engage. Go to Magnet Clutch Circuit. Refer to ATC-69, "
Magnet Clutch Circuit".
8.STEP-5: TEMPERATURE OF EACH SENSOR IS CHECKED
1. Press temperature control (UP) switch (driver side).
2. Code No. 51 appears on the display.
>> GO TO 9.
9.CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR
Press (DEF) switch one time. Temperature detected by ambient
sensor is indicated on the display.
NOTE:
If the temperature indicated on the display greatly differs from the
actual temperature, check sensor circuit first, and then check sensor.

OK >> GO TO 10.
NG >> Go to Ambient Sensor Circuit. Refer to ATC-86, "
Ambi-
ent Sensor Circuit".

If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING DISCHARGE AIR
1. Press MODE switch and DEF switch.
2. Each position indicator should change shape.
3. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distri-
bution table. Refer to ATC-29, "
Discharge Air Flow".
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-57, "
Mode Door
Motor Circuit".
If OK, continue the check.
NOTE:
Confirm that the compressor clutch is engaged (sound or visual
inspection) and intake door position is at FRE when the D/F or DEF
is selected.
CHECKING INTAKE AIR
1. Press intake switch. Recirculation indicator should illuminate.
2. Press intake switch again. Fresh indicator should illuminate.
3. Listen for intake door position change. (S light change of blower sound can be heard.)
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-62, "
Intake Door Motor Circuit".
If OK, continue the check.
NOTE:
Confirm that the compressor clutch is engaged (sound or visual inspection) and intake door position is at FRE
when the D/F or DEF is selected.
CHECKING TEMPERATURE DECREASE
1. Press temperature control (DOWN) switch (driver side) until 18 °C (60 °F) is displayed.
2. Check for cold air at discharge air outlets.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-75, "
Insufficient Cooling".
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1. Press temperature control (UP) switch (driver side) until 32 °C (90 °F) is displayed.
2. Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-82, "
Insufficient Heating".
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING A/C SWITCH
1. Press AUTO switch and A/C switch.
2. A/C switch indicator will turn ON.  Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual inspection).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-69, "
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 ATC-52, "
Power Supply and Ground Circuit for Auto Amp", then if
necessary, trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-69, "
Magnet Clutch Circuit".

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
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 the compressor ON or OFF as determined by a signal detected by ambi-
ent 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.
1.CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR AND INTAKE SENSOR CIRCUIT
Check ambient sensor and intake sensor. Refer to ATC-43, "
Self-Diagnosis Function", see No. 9 and 11.
