Diagnostic Procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

RESULTS

ACTION

1
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS i-stop SYSTEM OR A/C SYSTEM
•  Verify the malfunction symptom.
•  Does the malfunction occur only while the i-stop function is operating (engine stopped)?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the applicable A/C malfunction diagnostic procedure.
2
VERIFY DTC
•  Retrieve the PCM, instrument cluster and climate control unit DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Go to the next step.
3
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL OR OTHER
•  Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
•  Compare the ambient temperature sensor on the LCD with the actual ambient temperature.
•  Does the ambient temperature on the LCD correspond to the actual ambient temperature?
Yes
With manual air conditioner:
•  Go to Step 13.
With full-auto air conditioner:
•  Go to Step 5.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the ambient temperature sensor.
No
Inspect the wiring harness between the following terminals:
•  Ambient temperature sensor terminal A—PCM terminal 2AX
•  Ambient temperature sensor terminal B—PCM terminal 2AY
―  If there is any malfunction:
•  Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness.
5
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS CABIN TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL OR OTHER
•  Access the climate control unit PID INC_TMP_SEN using the M-MDS.
•  Does the INC_TMP_SEN PID value indicate the actual cabin temperature of the vehicle?
Yes
Go to Step 7.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT CABIN TEMPERATURE SENSOR
•  Inspect the cabin temperature sensor.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the cabin temperature sensor.
No
Inspect the wiring harness between the following terminals for a short or open circuit:
•  Cabin temperature sensor terminal A—Climate control unit terminal 1J
•  Cabin temperature sensor terminal B—Climate control unit terminal 1X
―  If there is any malfunction:
•  Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness.
7
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR SIGNAL OR OTHER
•  Access the climate control unit PID SLR_R_SEN_L and SLR_R_SEN_R using the M-MDS.
•  Does the SLR_R_SEN_L and SLR_R_SEN_R PID value display according to the solar radiation condition?
Yes
Go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
8
INSPECT SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR
•  Inspect the solar radiation sensor.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the solar radiation sensor.
No
Inspect the wiring harness between the following terminals:
•  Solar radiation sensor terminal B—Climate control unit terminal 1T
•  Solar radiation sensor terminal C—Climate control unit terminal 1V
―  If there is any malfunction:
•  Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness.
9
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS DRIVER-SIDE AIR MIX ACTUATOR SIGNAL OR OTHER
•  Measure the voltage at the following terminal (wiring harness-side) when the driver-side temperature setting is MAX HOT and MAX COLD.
―  Climate control unit terminal 1N (L.H.D.)
―  Climate control unit terminal 1P (R.H.D.)
Yes
Go to Step 11.
No
Go to the next step.
10
INSPECT DRIVER-SIDE AIR MIX ACTUATOR
•  Inspect the driver-side air mix actuator.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the driver-side air mix actuator.
No
Inspect the air mix actuator and linkage for sticking.
•  If there is any malfunction:
―  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
11
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS HEATER CORE TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL OR OTHER
•  Measure the voltage at the climate control unit terminal 1L (wiring harness-side) while the engine is stopped via i-stop control.
•  Do the elapsed time and voltage values change?
Yes
Go to Step 13.
No
Go to the next step.
12
INSPECT HEATER CORE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
•  Inspect the heater core temperature sensor.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the heater core temperature sensor.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness between heater core temperature sensor terminal B and climate control unit terminal 1L.
13
INSPECT A/C RELAY
•  Switch the ignition off.
•  Remove the A/C relay.
•  Inspect the A/C relay.
•  Is the A/C relay normal?
Yes
Install the A/C relay, then go to the next step.
No
Replace the A/C relay, then go to Step 15.
14
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
•  Is the refrigerant pressure sensor normal?
Yes
The system is normal.
•  Effect is due to a possible change in the vehicle environment while the engine is stopped (change in solar radiation).
No
Replace the refrigerant pressure sensor, then go to the next step.
15
Verify the test results.
•  If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
•  If a malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Information and perform the repair or diagnosis.
―  If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting is completed.
―  If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, replace the PCM.
