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

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

Brake Booster
BRAKE
Air tightness check
Start the engine, and idle it for 1 to 2 minutes, then
turn it OFF. Depress the brake pedal several times
applying the normal pedal force. The pedal stroke
should be the longest at the 1st depression, and it
should become shorter at each successive depres-
sion. If no change occurs in the pedal height when
pressed, the brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:
•In case of defective operation, inspect the condi-
tion of the check valve and vacuum hose as well.
•Replace them if faulty, and perform the test
again.
•If the defective condition is not improved, check
accurately using a gauge.
Operation check
1) While the engine is OFF, depress the brake ped-
al several times applying the same pedal force, to
check for a change in pedal height.
2) With the brake pedal pressed, start the engine.
3) As the engine starts, the brake pedal should
move slowly toward the floor. If the pedal height
does not change, the brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, perform an accurate check with a gauge.
Loaded air tightness check
Depress the brake pedal while the engine is run-
ning, and turn the engine OFF while the pedal is de-
pressed. Keep the pedal depressed for 30
seconds. If the pedal height does not change, the
function of brake booster is normal. If the pedal
height increases, it is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, perform an accurate check with a gauge.
2. OPERATION CHECK (WITH GAUGE)
CAUTION:
When checking operation, be sure to apply the
parking brake securely.
Check with gauge
Connect the gauge as shown in the figure. After
bleeding air from the pressure gauge, perform the
checks.
