A/C OPERATION CHECK MODE [CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT (FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER)]


id0702k2881500

•  The A/C operation check mode forcibly operates the output devices as shown in the operation check table regardless of the signals input to the climate control unit.
•  During an A/C operation check mode operation, indication in the display panel and the illumination of the indicator light on the switches are automatically controlled.
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by visual inspection, listening to the operation sound, placing a hand on the air vents, or checking that each transition is as indicated in the operation check table.
