CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT INSPECTION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER]


id0740a1802200

1.  Remove the climate control unit. (See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER].)

2.  Install the audio unit. (See AUDIO UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

3.  Connect the climate control unit connector.

4.  Connect the negative (-) lead of the tester to body ground.

5.  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

6.  By inserting the positive (+) lead of the tester into each climate control unit terminal, measure the voltage according to the terminal voltage table.

•  If there is any malfunction, inspect the parts under “Inspection item (s)”.
―  If the parts under “Inspection item (s)” are found to be normal (except for terminal T), replace the climate control unit.
―  For terminal T, first try replacing the power MOS FET. If there is still any malfunction, replace the climate control unit.
