*2: Voltage immediately after switching FACE ⇔ DEF or maximum COOL ⇔ maximum HOT (when the damper door is operat-
ing.) for mode door and air mix door
*3: Voltage immediately after the operation for the seat heater (Always measure the voltage immediately after turning the seat
heater to ON because once reached to the target value, it switches to ON/OFF action.)

4. SENSOR CHECK TABLE
NOTE:
When the sunload sensor check is performed indoors or in the shade, it could be diagnosed as having an
open circuit. Always check the sunload sensor with the sun shining on it.
*1: “AUTO” display does not blink when past malfunction occurred. Past malfunction means that abnormal signals were contin-
uously input for a certain time in the past.
*2: Present malfunction only is displayed for sunload sensor open circuit.

Is the voltage 8 V (at normal
temperature)?
Go to step 2.Check for open or
short circuit in the
harness between
intake door actua-
tor and fuse.
2CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN AUTO A/C
CONTROL MODULE AND INTAKE DOOR
ACTUATOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

Go to step 3.Repair the har-
ness between auto
A/C control mod-
ule and intake
door actuator.
3CHECK OPERATION OF INTAKE DOOR AC-
TUATOR.
1) Connect the intake door actuator connec-
tor.
2) Ground the auto A/C control module con-
nector with a suitable wire.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and check
the operation of intake door actuator.
Connector & terminal
(B283) No. 10 — Chassis ground:
Does the actuator move to the
FRESH side?
Go to step 4.Replace the intake
door actuator.

4CHECK OPERATION OF INTAKE DOOR AC-
TUATOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Ground the auto A/C control module con-
nector with a suitable wire.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and check
the operation of intake door actuator.
Connector & terminal:
(B283) No. 23 — Chassis ground:
Does the actuator move to the
RECIRC side?
