If NG, listen for sound of air mix door motor operat ion. If OK, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for HAC-109,
"Component Function Check". If air mix door motor appears to be malfunctioning, go to HAC-31, "Air Mix Door
Motor Component Function Check".
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1. Rotate temperature control dial clockwise (drive or passenger) until 32 °C (90° F) is displayed.
2. Check for hot air at appropriate discharge air outlets.
If NG, listen for sound of air mix door motor operat ion. If OK, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for HAC-117,
"Component Function Check". If air mix door motor appears to be malfunctioning, go to HAC-31, "Air Mix Door
Motor Component Function Check".
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECK A/C SWITCH
1. Press A/C switch when AUTO switch is ON, or in manual mode.
2. A/C switch indicator will turn ON. • Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual inspection).
NOTE:
If current mode setting is DEF or D/F, compre ssor clutch will already be engaged and cannot be turned off.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for HAC-72, "
Magnet Clutch Diagnosis Procedure".
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECKING AUTO MODE
1. Press AUTO switch.
2. Display should indicate AUTO.
• If ambient temperature is warm, and selected temperat ure is cool, confirm that the compressor clutch
engages (sound or visual inspection). (Discharge air and blower speed will depend on ambient, in-vehi-
cle, and set temperatures.)
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for HAC-89, "
A/C Auto Amp Power and Ground Diagnosis Proce-
dure", then if necessary, trouble diagnosis procedure for HAC-72, "Magnet Clutch Diagnosis Procedure".
If all operational checks are OK (symptom cannot be duplicated), go to malfunction Simulation Tests in HAC-
3, "How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis For Quick And Accurate Repair" and perform tests as outlined to simu-
late driving conditions environment. If symptom appears. Refer to HAC-108, "
SymptomMatrixChart", and
perform applicable troubl e diagnosis procedures.
Operational Check (Rear)INFOID:0000000001679765
The purpose of the operational check is to confirm that the system operates properly.
CHECKING REAR BLOWER MOTOR
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Rotate rear air control (front) blower control dial to low speed.
3. Rotate the blower control dial clockwise and continue checking blower speed until all speeds are checked.
4. Leave blower on maximum speed.
5. Press the REAR CTRL switch from the rear air control (front).
6. Rotate rear air control (rear) blower control dial to low speed.
7. Rotate the blower control dial clockwise and continue checking blower speed until all speeds are checked.
8. Leave blower on maximum speed.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for HAC-56, "
Rear Blower Motor Component Function Check".
If OK, continue with next check.

• Press the “BACK” switch and the “UP” switch within 10 seconds after turning the ignition switch from OFF to ACC and hold them for
3 seconds or more. Then the buzzer sounds, all indicators of the
preset switch illuminate, and the self-diagnosis mode starts.
• The continuity of each switch and control dials (A/C and AV switch assembly only) at the ON position can be checked by pressing
each switch and turning each control dial. The buzzer sounds and
LED’s will illuminate if the switch is normal.
Finishing self-diagnosis mode
Self-diagnosis mode is canceled when turning the ignition switch OFF.
