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
Low-pressure Side Some times Becomes Negative
Low-pressure Side Becomes Negative Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
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-
tioning parts.
• Check oil for contamination.
Expansion valve and liquid tank
are warm or only cool when
touched. Low refrigerant charge.
↓
Leaking fittings or components Check refrigerant for leaks.
Refer to MTC-86, " Checking of
Refrigerant Leaks " .
There is a big temperature dif-
ference between expansion
valve inlet and outlet while the
valve itself is frosted. Expansion valve closes a little
compared with the specification.
↓
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.
• Check oil for contamination.
An area of the low-pressure pipe
is colder than areas near the
evaporator outlet. Low-pressure pipe is clogged or
crushed. • Check and repair malfunc-
tioning parts.
• Check oil for contamination.
Air flow volume is not enough or
is too low. Evaporator is frozen.• Check thermo control amp.
Refer to MTC-37, " Magnet
Clutch Circuit (If Equipped) "
.
• Replace compressor.
• Repair evaporator fins.
• Replace evaporator.
• Refer to MTC-33, " Front
Blower Motor Circuit " .
