BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE CHART
CAUTION
- Never connect the battery in reverse polarity. Doing so may immediately damage the auto A/C control module.
- Do not disconnect the battery terminals while the engine is running. A large counter electromotive force will be generated in the generator, and this voltage may damage electronic parts such as auto A/C control module etc.
- Before disconnecting the connectors of sensors and the auto A/C control module, be sure to turn off the ignition switch. Otherwise, the auto A/C control module may be damaged.
- Every A/C-related part is a precision part. Do not drop them.
- The airbag system wiring harness is routed near the A/C control panel (auto A/C control module) and junction box.
| CAUTION | The airbag system wiring harnesses and connectors are all yellow in color. Do not use electrical test equipment on these circuits. Be careful not to damage the airbag system wiring harness when servicing the A/C control panel (auto A/C control module) and junction box. |
BATTERY
- Measure the battery voltage and check electrolyte. Standard voltage: 12 V Specific gravity: 1.260 or more
- Check the condition of the fuses for A/C system power supply and other fuses.
- Check the condition of harness and harness connector connections.
Scheme 4
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the temperature control dial at maximum hot position.
- Set the air flow control dial to the DEF position.
- Turn the fan speed control dial to the maximum position.
- Approach a strip of paper in front of the in-vehicle sensor suction port (A) of the auto A/C control module, 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. Hold the paper approx. 5 mm (0.02 in) away from port when the suction force is not very strong.
- If the paper does not move at all, remove the lower cover REMOVAL Control Unit. > and check for improper connection of the aspirator hose, lower cover, and heater unit, and fix them if necessary.
REFRIGERANT LINE
Check the connection for A/C line (A) and high-pressure pipe.
