SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
A/C Auto Amp. Self-DiagnosisINFOID:0000000005147684
A/C SYSTEM SELF-DI AGNOSIS FUNCTION
The self-diagnosis function is built into the A/C auto amp. to quickly locate the cause of malfunctions.
DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnostic system diagnoses sensors, CAN system, and battery voltage on A/C auto amp. Refer to
applicable sections (items) for details. Fault codes (if any are present) will be displayed in the ambient temper-
ature display area. Refer to HAC-24, "
A/C System Self-Diagnosis Code Chart".
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC MODE
NOTE:
Radio must be off.
1. On the A/C and AV switch assembly, press the "SETTING" but- ton and twist the volume knob clockwise and counterclockwise
until the Self-Diagnosis screen shows on the display.
2. Scroll down to "Confirmation/Adjustment" and press the "ENTER" button.
3. Scroll down to "Climate Control" and press the "ENTER" button.
4. The fan bars will flash on the display during the self-test, and then the fault codes will display in the ambient temperature area.
They will continue scrolling until diagnostic mode is exited.
5. Exit by pressing the "BACK" button on A/C and AV switch assembly until display returns to its normal operation screen.
HVAC system will be OFF.
The self-diagnostic system diagnoses sensors, CAN system, and battery voltage on A/C auto amp. Refer to
applicable sections (items) for details. Fault codes (if any are present) will be displayed in the ambient temper-
ature display area. Refer to HAC-24, "

MODE DOOR MOTOR
The mode door motor (front) is attached to the heater & cooling unit
assembly. It rotates so that air is discharged from the outlet as indi-
cated by the A/C auto amp. Motor rotation is conveyed to a link
which activates the mode door.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Air Mix Door Motors (front)
The driver (1) and passenger (2) air mix door motors are attached to
the front heater & cooling unit assembly. These motors rotate so that
the air mix door is opened or closed to a position set by the A/C auto
amp. Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft and the air mix
door position is then fed back to t
he A/C auto amp. by the PBR built
into the air mix door motors.
Air Mix Door Motor (rear)
The air mix door motor (rear) (1) is attached to the rear heater &
cooling unit assembly. These motors rotate so that the air mix door is
opened or closed to a position set by the front (or rear) air control.
Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft and the air mix door
position is then fed back to the A/C auto amp. by the PBR built into
the air mix door motors.

System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005147713
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The A/C auto amp. controls compressor operation
based on ambient and intake temperature and a signal
from ECM.
Low Temperature Protection Control
The A/C auto amp. will turn the compressor ON or O FF as determined by a signal detected by the intake sen-
sor and the ambient sensor.
When intake air temperature is higher than the preset va lue, the compressor turns ON. The compressor turns
OFF when intake air temperature is lower than the pres et value. That preset value is dependent on the ambi-
ent temperature, refer to the following table.

IN-VEHICLE SENSOR
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000005147721
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
In-vehicle Sensor
The in-vehicle sensor (1) is located on the lower instrument panel
LH. It converts variations in
temperature of passenger compartment
air (drawn in through the integrated fan) into a resistance value. It is
then input into the A/C auto amp.
In-Vehicle Sensor Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005147722
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to HAC-91, "Wiring Diagram".
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR IN-VEHICLE SENSOR
SYMPTOM: In-vehicle sensor circuit is open or shorted. Using the
CONSULT-III, DTC B2578 or B2579 is displayed. Without a CON-
SULT-III, code 30, 31, 44 or 46 is indicated on A/C auto amp. as a
result of conducting self-diagnosis.
1.CHECK IN-VEHICLE SENSOR CIRCUIT
Is self-diagnosis DTC B2578 or B2579 (with CONSULT-III) or code 30, 31 44 or 46 (without CONSULT-III)
present?
YES or NO?
YES >> GO TO 6.
NO >> GO TO 2.
