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, "

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Unified Meter and A/C Amp. (Automatic Amplifier)
The unified meter and A/C amp. has a built-in microcomputer which
processes information sent from various sensors needed for air con-
ditioner operation. The air mix door motor, mode door motor, intake
door motor, blower motor and compressor are then controlled.
When the various switches and temperature control switch are oper-
ated, data is input to the unified meter and A/C amp. from the display
control unit using CAN communication.
Self-diagnosis functions are also built into unified meter and A/C
amp. to provide quick check of malfunctions in the auto air condi-
tioner system.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
 Intake sensor
System Operation
The intake door control determines intake door position based on the ambient temperature, the intake air tem-
perature and the in-vehicle temperature. When the DEF, or OFF switches are pressed or A/C switch is OFF,
the unified meter and A/C amp. sets the intake door at the FRE position.
Intake Door Control Specification
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Intake Door Motor
The intake door motor is attached to the blower unit. It rotates so that
air is drawn from inlets set by the unified meter and A/C amp. Motor
rotation is conveyed to a lever which activates the intake door.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR INTAKE DOOR MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Intake door motor does not operate normally.
Perform diagnosis procedure. Refer to ATC-54, "
LAN System Circuit".

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
 Intake sensor
System Operation
Automatic Mode
In the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the unified meter and A/C amp. based on the
input from the PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunl oad sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor.
When the air flow is increased, the duty ratio of the blower fan motor’s drive signal is changed at 8%/sec. to
prevent a sudden increase in air flow.
In addition to manual air flow control and the usual automat ic air flow control, starting air flow control, low
water temperature starting control and high passenger co mpartment temperature starting control are avail-
able.
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 lo w 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 AU TO 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. Du ring conditions of low or no sunload, the blower
speed is at duty ratio 25%. During high sunload conditi ons, the unified meter and A/C amp. raise the blower
speed (duty ratio 49%).

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.
1.CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR BLOWER MOTOR
1. Disconnect blower motor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between blower motor harness connector M78 terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check power supply circuit and 15A fuses [Nos. 10 and 11, located in the fuse block (J/B)]. Refer to PG-
77.
 If fuses are OK, check harness for open circuit. Repair or replace if necessary.
 If fuses are NG, check harness fo r short circuit and replace fuse.
2.CHECK BLOWER MOTOR GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check continuity between blower motor harness connector M78 terminal 3 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair harness or connector.
3.CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN BLOWER MOTOR AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
1. Disconnect unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
