Check " . If other symptoms exist, refer to
MTC-22, " How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis for Quick

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Thermo control amp. controls A/C compressor operat ion by intake air temperature and signal from ECM.
The defrost A/C switch controls A/ C compressor operation by the BCM when the mode switch is turned to the
(DEF) position.
Low Temperature Protection Control
When intake air temperatures are higher than 4 °C (39 °F), the com-
pressor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when intake air tem-
peratures are lower than 2 °C (36 °F).
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR MAGNET CLUTCH
SYMPTOM: Magnet clutch does not engage in A/C, defrost/foot, or defrost mode.Auto Active Test " .
Does the magnet clutch operate? YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Check 10A fuse (No. 42, located in the IPDM E/R). Refer to PG-23, " IPDM E/R Terminal
Arrangement - Type B " .
• If fuse is OK, GO TO 2.
• If fuse is NG, replace fuse and check harness for short circuit. Repair or replace if necessary.

Both high- and low-pressure
sides are too low. • There is a big temperature dif-
ference between liquid tank
outlet and inlet. Outlet tem-
perature is extremely low.
• Liquid tank inlet and expan- sion valve are frosted. Liquid tank inside is slightly
clogged. • Replace liquid tank.
• Check oil for contamination.
• Temperature of expansion valve inlet is extremely low as
compared with areas near liq-
uid tank.
• Expansion valve inlet may be
frosted.
• Temperature difference oc- curs somewhere in high-pres-
sure side. High-pressure pipe located be-
tween liquid tank and expansion
valve is clogged. • Check and repair malfunc-

1. Improper expansion valve
adjustment.
2. Malfunctioning expansion valve.
3. Outlet and inlet may be clogged. • Remove foreign particles by
using compressed air.
• Replace expansion valve.

An area of the low-pressure pipe
is colder than areas near the

2. Disconnect the low-pressure flexible hose nut (A) and high-pres- sure flexible hose bolt (B) and remove the hoses from compres-
sor.
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of co mpressor, low-pressure flexible
hose and high-pressure flexible hose with suitable material
such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
3. Disconnect the compressor harness connector (C)
4. Remove the engine undercover, using power tools.
5. Remove the A/C drive belt. Refer to EM-15, " Removal and Installation " .
6. Remove the bolts (A) from the compressor (1), using power tools.
7. Remove the compressor (1) downward from the engine com- partment.
INSPECTION FOR CLUTCH DISC TO PULLEY CLEARANCE 1. Check the clearance around the entire periphery of the clutch disc and pulley using a suitable tool as shown.
2. If specified clearance is not obtained, replace compressor.
INSTALLATION Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Replace O-rings of low-pressure flexible hose and high-pressure flexible hose with new ones, and
apply compressor oil when installing.
• When recharging refrigeran t, check for leaks. Refer to MTC-86, " Checking of Refrigerant Leaks " .

- Front wipers
- Tail, license and parking lamps
- Daytime lamp system (Canada only)
- Front fog lamps
- Headlamps (High, Low)
- A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
- Cooling fan
OPERATION PROCEDURE 1. Close hood and front door RH, and lift wiper arms away from windshield (to prevent glass damage by
wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch ON and, within 20 seconds, pre ss front door switch LH 20 times. Then turn ignition
switch OFF.
4. Turn ignition switch ON within 10 seconds after ignition switch OFF.
5. When auto active test mode is actuated, horn chirps once.
6. After a series of operations is repeated th ree times, auto active test is completed.
