|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Go to Step 9.
|
||
5

• Access climate control unit PID AC_PRES.
• Monitor the AC_PRES PID while turning on and off the air conditioner by switching the control panel.
• Is the PID normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to Step 7.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
6
|
INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
• Inspect the refrigerant pressure sensor.
• Is the refrigerant pressure sensor normal?
|
Yes
|
Inspect the following and repair or replace if necessary.
• Refrigerant charging amount
• A/C compressor for seizure
Then go to Step 15.
|
No
|
Repair or replace malfunctioning part according to inspection result, then go to Step 15.
|
||
7
|
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR OPERATIONAL SIGNAL OR ELSEWHERE
• Access climate control unit PID EVA_TMP_SEN.
• Monitor the EVA_TMP_SEN PID while turning on and off the air conditioner by switching the control panel.
• Is the PID normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to Step 9.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
8
|
INSPECT EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
• Inspect the evaporator temperature sensor.
• Is the evaporator temperature sensor normal?
|
Yes
|
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between evaporator temperature sensor terminal and climate control unit 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.
• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
• Repair or replace the wiring harness.
Go to Step 15.
|
No
|
Replace the evaporator temperature sensor, then go to Step 15.
|
||
9*
|
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION (LACK OF CONTINUITY) IS IN A/C CONTROL SIGNAL CIRCUIT (BETWEEN A/C RELAY AND PCM) OR ELSEWHERE
• Does cool air blow out when terminal E of A/C relay connector (A/C control signal) is grounded?
|
Yes
|
Release short, then go to the next step.
|
No
|
Go to Step 11.
|
||
10*
|
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION (LACK OF CONTINUITY) IS IN PCM OR WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN A/C RELAY AND PCM)
• Test voltage at the A/C relay control signal terminal of PCM.
• Is voltage approx. 12 V?
|
Yes
|
Inspect the PCM, then go to Step 15.
|
No
|
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between A/C relay terminal and PCM 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.
• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
• Repair or replace the wiring harness.
Go to Step 14.
|
||
11
|
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN MAGNETIC CLUTCH OR ELSEWHERE
• Inspect the magnetic clutch.
(See MAGNETIC CLUTCH INSPECTION.)
• Is the magnetic clutch normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Replace the magnetic clutch, then go to Step 15.
|
||
12
|
INSPECT FUSE
• Remove the A/C MAG 7.5 A fuse.
• Is the fuse normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Replace the A/C MAG 7.5 A fuse, then go to Step 15.
If fuse burns out immediately, go to the next step.
|
||
13
|
INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN FUSE BLOCK AND A/C RELAY FOR LACK OF CONTINUITY
• Test voltages at following terminals of A/C relay.
• Are voltages approx. 12 V?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between fuse block terminal and A/C relay 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.
• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
• Repair or replace the wiring harness.
Go to Step 15.
|
||
14
|
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN A/C RELAY OR WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN A/C RELAY AND MAGNETIC CLUTCH)
• Test voltage at the following terminal of A/C relay.
• Is voltage approx. 12 V?
|
Yes
|
Inspect wiring harness between A/C relay and magnetic clutch.
• If above wiring harness is normal, go to the next step.
• If above wiring harness malfunctions, repair wiring harness, then go to the next step.
|
No
|
Replace the A/C relay, then go to the next step.
(See RELAY LOCATION.)

15
|
VERIFY THAT MALFUNCTION SYMPTOMS DO NOT RECUR AFTER REPAIR
• Does cool air discharge from the vents? (Are the results of refrigerant system performance test normal?)
|
Yes
|
Troubleshooting completed. Explain repairs to customer.
|
No
|
Recheck malfunction symptoms, then repeat from Step 1 if malfunction recurs.
