G SYSTEM : Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000006275892
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the operational check is to che ck that the individual system operates normally.
OPERATION INSPECTION
1.CHECK MEMORY FUNCTION
1. Set temperature control dial (driver side) to 32.0 °C (90 °F).
2. Press OFF switch.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
5. Press AUTO switch.
6. Check that set temperature is maintained.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 12.
2.CHECK FRONT BLOWER MOTOR
1. Start engine.
2. Operate fan switch.
3. Check that fan speed changes. C heck operation for all fan speeds.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 12.
3.CHECK DISCHARGE AIR (MOD E SWITCH AND DEF SWITCH)
1. Operate fan switch to set the fan speed to maximum speed.
2. Operate MODE switch and DEF switch.
3. Check that air outlets change according to each indica ted air outlet by placing a hand in front of the out-
lets. Refer to VTL-6, "
VENTILATION SYSTEM (FRONT AIR CO NDITIONING) : System Description".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> GO TO 12.
4.CHECK DISCHRGE AIR (UPPER VENTILATOR SWITCH)
1. Press MODE switch to set the air outlet to other than D/F or DEF.
2. Press upper ventilator switch. The upper ventilator switch indicator is turns ON.
3. Check that air flow blows from upper ventilator.
4. Press upper ventilator switch again. The upper ventilator switch indicator is turns OFF.
5. Check that air flow from upper ventilator stops.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES-1 >> With ACCS (advanced climate control system): GO TO 5.
YES-2 >> Without ACCS (advanced clim ate control system): GO TO 6.
NO >> GO TO 12.
5.CHECK INTAKE AIR [WITH ACCS (A DVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM)]
1. Press intake switch to set the air inlet to recirculation. The intake switch indicator turns ON.
2. Listen to intake sound and confirm air inlets change.
3. Press intake switch again to set the air inlet to fresh air intake. The intake switch indicator turns OFF.
4. Listen to intake sound and confirm air inlets change.
Is the inspection result normal?
Check condition : Engine running at normal operating temperature.

INFOID:0000000006275898
DESCRIPTION
 If the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position while t he intake switch is set to OFF (fresh air intake), “Per-
form the memory” or “Do not perform the memory” of in take switch OFF (fresh air intake) condition can be
selected.
 If “Perform the memory” was set, the intake switch will be OFF (fresh air intake) when turning the ignition
switch to the ON position again.
 If “Do not perform the memory” was set, the air inlets will be controlled automatically when turning the igni-
tion switch to the ON position again.
HOW TO SET
With CONSULT-III
Perform the “FRE MEMORY SET” of HVAC work support item.
NOTE:
When the battery cable is disconnect ed from the negative terminal or when the battery voltage becomes 10 V
or less, the setting of the FRE memory function may be cancelled.

selected.
 If “Perform the memory” was set, the intake switch will be ON (recirculation) when turning the ignition switch
to the ON position again.
 If “Do not perform the memory” was set, the air inlets will be controlled automatically when turning the igni-
tion switch to the ON position again.
HOW TO SET
With CONSULT-III
Perform the “REC MEMORY SET” of HVAC work support item.
NOTE:

DTC/CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS
U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006275903
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication
system for real time application. It is an on-vehicle
multiplex communication system with high data comm unication speed and excellent error detection ability.
Many electronic control units are equipped onto vehicl es, and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independent ). In CAN communication, control units are con-
nected with two communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/recei ves data but selectively reads required data only.

CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM : CAN Communica-
tion Signal Chart".
