Scheme 19: OPERATION CHECK
  1. OPERATION CHECK OF REMOTE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM HINT: The remote air conditioning system does not operate unless the required operating conditions are met. Therefore, confirm that the operating conditions are met before performing the inspection. Refer to «SYSTEM DESCRIPTION»(ref-551393-S09072683782013051500000) . Activation Control Check Press and hold the remote A/C switch on the key (electrical transmitter) once for 1 seconds or more to start the air conditioning system. HINT: The wireless door lock system locks all doors before the remote air conditioning system is activated. Operation Check Check that the remote air conditioning system operates for a maximum of 3 minutes. HINT: The operating time differs depending on the HV battery state of charge. Stop Control Check Press the remote A/C switch on the key (electrical transmitter) twice briefly within 3 seconds to stop the remote air conditioning system. HINT: When any of the operating conditions are not met during remote air conditioning system operation, the remote air conditioning system will stop. When 3 minutes have elapsed after the remote air conditioning system was started, the remote air conditioning system will stop. Some operating conditions may result in the remote air conditioning system being stopped before 3 minutes elapses. Operation Check of the Remote A/C Switch on the Key (Electrical Transmitter) NOTE: Use 2 keys (electrical transmitters). Confirm that the wireless door lock functions operate normally. Prepare 2 registered keys (electrical transmitters), and label one of them key (electrical transmitter) A, and the other key (electrical transmitter) B. Operate the remote A/C switch on key (electrical transmitter) A and check that the remote air conditioning system can be operated. Operate the remote A/C switch on key (electrical transmitter) B and check that the remote air conditioning system can be operated. HINT: If the remote air conditioning system is not operated for both keys (electrical transmitters) A and B, the remote air conditioning system may have a malfunction. Refer to «PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE»(ref-551393-S01699272352013051500000) . If the remote air conditioning system is not operated for one of the keys (electrical transmitter) A or B, the key (electrical transmitter) needs to be replaced because a malfunction of the remote A/C switch on the key (electrical transmitter) is suspected.

  1. DESCRIPTION Air conditioning system data and the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can be read through the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. When the system seems to be malfunctioning, use the Techstream to check for malfunctions and perform troubleshooting.
  2. CHECK DLC3 Check the DLC3. Refer to «GENERAL INFORMATION»(ref-551389-S40560400582013051500000) .
  3. LIST OF OPERATION METHODS By operating each of the air conditioning control switches as shown in the diagram below, it is possible to enter diagnostic check mode.
  4. INDICATOR CHECK Turn the power switch off. Turn the power switch on (ACC) and wait for at least 5 seconds. Turn the power switch on (IG) while pressing the A/C control assembly "AUTO" switch and "Recirculation/Fresh" switch simultaneously. Hold both switches until the indicator check screen appears. TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *1 A/C Control Assembly The indicator check is automatically performed when panel diagnosis is activated. Check that the indicators light up and go off 4 times at 1-second intervals continuously. HINT: The sensor check automatically starts when the indicator check is completed. Press the "OFF" switch to cancel the check mode. TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *1 A/C Control Assembly
  5. SENSOR CHECK (DTC CHECK) Start the hybrid system and warm it up. Perform the indicator check. HINT: After the indicator check is completed, the system enters DTC check mode automatically. Read the DTC displayed on the A/C control assembly. NOTE: In sensor check mode, which is automatically entered after indicator check mode, troubleshooting may be partially performed. Be sure to perform the sensor check again. HINT: Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart for details of the codes. Refer to «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART»(ref-551393-S41659840572013051500000) . When there are no problems, DTC 00 is output. As an example, the illustration shows that display DTC 12 is output. TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *1 A/C Control Assembly *2 Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) If the DTCs are difficult to read because they change automatically, press the "MODE" switch to display the DTCs one at a time so that they can be read easily. The DTCs are displayed step by step each time the "MODE" switch is pressed. HINT: Press the "OFF" switch to finish panel diagnosis. TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *1 A/C Control Assembly Clear the DTC During the sensor check, press the "FRONT DEF" switch and "MODE" switch simultaneously. TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *1 A/C Control Assembly

DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  1. DTC CHECK USING TECHSTREAM Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the power switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Trouble Codes. Check for DTCs.
  2. DTC CLEAR USING TECHSTREAM Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the power switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Trouble Codes. Clear the DTCs by pressing the YES button on the Techstream display.

DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST

  1. DATA LIST Using the Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. NOTE: In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the power switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Data List. Check the value(s) by referring to the table below.

  2. ACTIVE TEST Using the Techstream to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the power switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Active Test. Check the operation by referring to the table below.
