Basic Diagnostic Procedure
HVAC SYSTEM (AUTO A/C) (DIAGNOSTICS)
1. Basic Diagnostic Procedure
A: PROCEDURE
Step Check Yes No
1START INSPECTIONS.
1) Perform the pre-inspection.
AC(diag)-3, INSPECTION, General Descrip-
tion.>
2) Perform the self-diagnosis.
AC(diag)-10, OPERATION, Diagnostic Char t
for Self-diagnosis.>
Does the self-diagnosis oper-
ate?
Go to step 2.
15, A/C OR SELF-
DIAGNOSIS SYS-
TEMS DOES NOT
OPERATE, Diag-
nostics for A/C
System Malfunc-
tion.>
2IDENTIFY MALFUNCTION PART.
Identify the malfunction part with self-diagno-
sis.
Can the malfunction part be
confirmed?
Repair the mal-
function part in
accordance with
each diagnostic
chart.
Go to step 3.
3CHECK COMPARTMENT TEMPERATURE.
1) Turn on the A/C switch.
2) Turn the temperature control dial at maxi-
mum cool position.
3) Check the compartment temperature
change.
Does the compartment tem-
perature change?
Go to step 4.
20, COMPART-
MENT TEMPERA-
TURE DOES NOT
CHANGE, OR A/C

Diagnostics for A/
C System Mal-
function.>
4CHECK A/C SYSTEM RESPONSE.
Change the temperature setting, and check the
response of A/C system.
Does the A/C system respond
quickly?
A/C system is nor-
mal.
20, COMPART-
MENT TEMPERA-
TURE DOES NOT
CHANGE, OR A/C

HVAC SYSTEM (AUTO A/C) (DIAGNOSTICS)
2. General Description
A: CAUTION
1) Never connect the battery in reverse polarity.
•Auto A/C control module may be destroyed in-
stantly.
2) Do not disconnect the battery terminals while the
engine is running.
•A large counter electromotive force will be gener-
ated in the generator, and this voltage may damage
electronic parts such as auto A/C control module
etc.
3) Before disconnecting the connectors of each
sensor and the auto A/C control module, be sure to
turn the ignition switch to OFF.
•Auto A/C control module may be damaged.
4) Every A/C-related part is a precision part. Do not
drop them.
5) Airbag system wiring harness is routed near the
A/C control panel and junction box.
CAUTION:
•For airbag system, yellow-colored wiring har-
ness and connectors are all used. Do not use
the electrical test equipment on these circuits.
•Be careful not to damage the airbag system
wiring harness when servicing the A/C control
panel and junction box.
B: INSPECTION
Before performing the diagnosis, check the follow-
ing items which might affect A/C system problems.
1. BATTERY
1) Measure the battery voltage and specific gravity
of electrolyte.
Standard voltage: 12 V
Specific gravity: 1.260 or more
2) Check the condition of the fuses for A/C system
power supply and other fuses.
3) Check the condition of harness and harness
connector connections.
2. ASPIRATOR HOSE
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and press the A/
C switch.
2) Turn the temperature control dial to maximum
hot position.
3) Turn the air flow control dial to “DEF” position.
4) Turn the fan speed control dial to 4th position.
5) Put a strip of paper close to the front side of in-
vehicle sensor suction port (A) located in the driv-
er’s side console side panel, and check that air is
being sucked into the port by seeing the paper
moving towards the port.
NOTE:
Be careful not to let the paper get sucked into the
port.
6) If the paper does not move at all, remove the
driver’s side console side panel
MOVAL, Center Console.> and check for improper
connection of the aspirator hose, in-vehicle sensor
and heater unit, and repair them if necessary.
3. A/C LINE
Check the connection for A/C line (A) and lower
side high-pressure pipe.
