6.CHECK TEMPERATURE DECREASE
1. Operate the A/C compressor.
2. Operate the temperature control switch (drive r side) and lower the temperature setting to 18°C (60 °F).
3. Check that the cool air blows from the outlets.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Check for insufficient cooling. Refer to HAC-96, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
7.CHECK TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1. Operate the temperature control switch (drive r side) and raise the temperature setting to 32°C (90 °F) after
warming up the engine.
2. Check that the warm air blows from the outlets.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 8.
NO >> Check for insufficient heating. Refer to HAC-98, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
8.CHECK DUAL MODE FUNCTION
1. Press the DUAL mode switch, and then check that “DUAL” is shown on the display.
2. Operate the temperature control switch (driver si de). Check that the discharge air temperature (driver
side) changes.
3. Operate the temperature control switch (passenger side). Check that the discharge air temperature (pas-
senger side) changes.
4. Press the DUAL mode switch, and then check that the temperature setting (driver/passenger) is unified to
the driver side temperature setting.

YES >> GO TO 9.
NO >> Refer to HAC-94, "Diagnosis Chart By Symptom"
and perform the appropriate diagnosis.
9.CHECK AUTO MODE
1. Press the AUTO switch, and then check t hat “AUTO” is shown on the display.
2. Operate the temperature control switch (driver side) . Check that the fan speed, outlet air or intake air
changes. The discharge air temperature or fan speed varies depending on the ambient temperature, in-
vehicle temperature, and temperature setting.
