•  Are any DTCs displayed?
Yes
Go to appropriate inspection procedure.
No
Go to the next step.
4
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS A/C REQUEST SIGNAL OR A/C RELAY OPERATIONAL MALFUNCTION
•  Start the engine and idle it.
•  Turn the PID ACCS to ON from OFF using the M-MDS simulation function.
•  Is the magnetic clutch engaged?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 9.
5
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL OR ELSEWHERE
•  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
•  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
•  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
•  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.
•  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.
―  Terminal A (A/C relay control signal)
―  Terminal C (A/C control signal)
•  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.
―  Terminal D (magnetic clutch operation signal)
•  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.
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.
