speed varies depending on the ambient temperature, in-v ehicle temperature (rear side), set temperature,
and etc.).

ACCS (ADVANCED CLIMATE CONT ROL SYSTEM) : Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000006275894
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the operational check is to che ck that the individual system operates normally.
NOTE:
Check that front automatic air conditi oning system operates normally. Refer to HAC-62, "
FRONT AUTOMATIC
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM : Work Procedure".
OPERATION INSPECTION
1.CHECK PLASMACLUSTER™ CONTROL
Check the ionizer operation sound (whirring sound) in the duc t by putting an ear to the center ventilator grille
(driver side) outlet while pressing fan switch and OFF switch alternately.
NOTE:
 Plasmacluster
™ ion technology developed by Sharp Corporation is installed in this item.
 Plasmacluster
™ is a trademark of Sharp Corporation.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 4.
2.CHECK PLASMACLUSTER™ CONTROL OPERATION STATUS
Check condition : Engine running

HAC-70
< BASIC INSPECTION >[AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING]
SYSTEM SETTING
If the temperature felt by the customer is different from
the rear air flow temperature controlled by the temper-
ature setting, the A/C auto amp. control temperature can be adjusted to compensate for the temperature set-
ting.
HOW TO SET
With CONSULT-III
Perform “REAR TEMP SET CORRECT” of HVAC work support item.
NOTE:
 When −3.0 °C ( −6 °F) is corrected on the temperature setting set as 25.0 °C (77 °F) the temperature controlled
by A/C auto amp. is 25.0 °C (77 °F) −3.0 °C ( −6 °F) = 22.0 °C (72 °F) and the temperature becomes lower than
the temperature setting.
 When the battery cable is disconnected from the negativ e terminal or when the battery voltage becomes 10
V or less, the setting of the difference between t he set temperature and control temperature may be can-
celled.

Detecting Sensor Sensitiv ity Adjustment Function
INFOID:0000000006275901
DESCRIPTION
According to customer’s sense of smell, exhaust gas / outside odor detecting sensor sensitivity can be
changed.
HOW TO SET
With CONSULT-III
Perform the “GAS SENSOR ADJUSTME NT” of HVAC work support item.
NOTE:
When the battery cable is disconnected from the negativ e terminal or when the battery voltage becomes 10 V
or less, the setting of WORK SUPPORT may be cancelled.

DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Check harness and connectors based on the information obtained by interview. Refer to
GI-40,
"Intermittent Incident".
7.FINAL CHECK
With CONSULT-III
1. Check the reference value for “E-SUS”.
2. Recheck the symptom and check that the symp tom is not reproduced on the same conditions.
Is the symptom reproduced?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> INSPECTION END
Diagnostic Work SheetINFOID:0000000006256059
Description
 In general, customers have their own criteria for a pr oblem. Therefore, it is important to understand the
symptom and status well enough by asking the customer about his/her concerns carefully. To systemize all
the information for the diagnosis, prepare the inte rview sheet referring to the interview points.
 In some cases, multiple conditions that appear simultaneously may cause a DTC to be detected.
