•  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, then go to Step 15.
No
Inspect the wiring harness between the following terminals for a short or open circuit:
•  Cabin temperature sensor terminal A—Climate control unit terminal 1A
•  Cabin temperature sensor terminal B—Climate control unit terminal 1Q
If there is any malfunction:
―  Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
•  Cabin temperature sensor terminal A—Climate control unit terminal 1A
•  Cabin temperature sensor terminal B—Climate control unit terminal 1Q
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short or open circuit.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short or open circuit.
Go to Step 15.
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, then go to Step 15.
No
Inspect the wiring harness between the following terminals:
•  Solar radiation sensor terminal B—Climate control unit terminal 1F
•  Solar radiation sensor terminal C—Climate control unit terminal 1H
―  If there is any malfunction:
•  Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness.
Go to Step 15.
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 2K (L.H.D.)
―  Climate control unit terminal 2I (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, then go to Step 15.
No
Inspect the air mix actuator and linkage for sticking.

Yes
Install the A/C relay, then go to the next step.
No
Replace the A/C relay, then go to Step 15.
12
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS A/C RELAY CONTROL SIGNAL OR MAGNETIC CLUTCH
•  Start the engine and idle it.
•  Access the PCM sumulation item ACCS using the M-MDS.
•  Turn the ACCS PID to ON from OFF using the M-MDS simulation function.

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.
