Diagnostic procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	INSPECT AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR CONNECTOR •  Switch the ignition off. •  Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) •  Disconnect the front airflow mode actuator connector. (See FRONT AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR REMOVAL.) •  Inspect the connector and terminals (corrosion, damage, pin disconnection). •  Are the connector and terminals normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
		No	Repair/replace the connector or terminal. After repair procedure, go to Step 6.
2	INSPECT AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR •  Inspect the front airflow mode actuator. (See FRONT AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR INSPECTION.) •  Is it normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
		No	Replace the front airflow mode actuator. (See FRONT AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR REMOVAL.) (See FRONT AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR INSTALLATION.) Go to Step 6.
3	VERIFY FRONT CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR CONDITION •  Disconnect the front climate control unit connector. (See FRONT CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) •  Inspect the connector and terminals (corrosion, damage, pin disconnection). •  Are the connector and terminals normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
		No	Repair/replace the connector or terminal. After repair procedure, go to Step 6.
4	INSPECT AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR (POTENTIOMETER) CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT •  Front climate control unit and front airflow mode actuator connectors are disconnected. •  Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side): R.H.D.: ―  Front climate control unit terminal 1C—front airflow mode actuator terminal C ―  Front climate control unit terminal 1B—front airflow mode actuator terminal B ―  Front climate control unit terminal 1Q—front airflow mode actuator terminal A L.H.D.: ―  Front climate control unit terminal 1Q—front airflow mode actuator terminal C ―  Front climate control unit terminal 1B—front airflow mode actuator terminal B ―  Front climate control unit terminal 1C—front airflow mode actuator terminal A •  Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to the next step.
		No	Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between front climate control unit terminal and front airflow mode actuator terminal. 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 an open circuit. •  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: •  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit. Go to Step 6.
5	INSPECT AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR (POTENTIOMETER) CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY •  Front climate control unit and front airflow mode actuator connectors are disconnected. •  Connect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) •  Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on). •  Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side): ―  Front climate control unit terminal 1C ―  Front climate control unit terminal 1B ―  Front climate control unit terminal 1Q •  Is the voltage 0 V?	Yes	Go to the next step.
		No	Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between front climate control unit terminal and front airflow mode actuator terminal. 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 to power supply. •  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: •  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply. Go to the next step.
6	VERIFY THAT SAME DTC IS NOT OUTPUT AGAIN •  Switch the ignition off. •  Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) •  Reconnect the disconnected connectors. •  Connect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) •  Clear the DTC from the front climate control unit memory using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT (FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER)].) •  Perform the DTC inspection for the front climate control unit using the M-MDS. (See DTC DISPLAY [CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT (FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER)].) •  Is the same DTC displayed?	Yes	Repeat the inspection from Step 1. •  If the malfunction recurs, replace the front climate control unit. (See FRONT CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) Go to the next step.
		No	Go to the next step.
7	VERIFY THAT NO OTHER DTCs ARE PRESENT •  Verify other DTCs displayed. •  Are any other DTCs displayed?	Yes	Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT (FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER)].)
		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
