INSPECTION
|
RESULTS
|
ACTION
|
---|---|---|---|
1
|
Inspect the following:
• Engine coolant level
• Coolant leakage
• Water and anti-freeze mixture
• Radiator condition
• Collapsed or restricted radiator hoses
• Radiator pressure cap
• Overflow system
• Fan rotational direction
• Fuses
Are all items normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Service if necessary.
Repeat Step 1.
|
||
2
|
Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
Retrieve any continuous memory, KOEO and KOER DTCs.
(See KOEO/KOER SELF-TEST.)
Are there any DTCs displayed?
|
Yes
|
DTC is displayed:
Go to the appropriate DTC test.
|
No
|
No DTC is displayed:
Go to the next step.
|
||
3
|
Start the engine and idle it.
Turn the A/C switch on.
Does the A/C compressor engage?
|
Yes
|
Go to Step 5.
|
No
|
Inspect for the following and repair or replace if necessary:
• Refrigerant charging amount
• Open circuit between A/C relay and PCM terminal 1AL
• Seized A/C magnetic clutch
• A/C magnetic clutch malfunction
If all items are normal, go to the next step.
|
||
4
|
Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
Access the ACSW PID.
Start the engine and idle it.
Turn the A/C switch on.
Does the ACSW PID read "on"?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Inspect the following:
• Refrigerant pressure switch operation
• A/C switch is stuck open.
• Open or short circuit between the refrigerant pressure switch and PCM terminal 1Q
• Open circuit of blower motor fan switch and the resistor (if blower motor does not operate)
• Evaporator temperature sensor and the A/C amplifier
|
||
5
|
Inspect the cooling fan control system operation.
Does the cooling fan control system function properly?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair or replace the malfunctioning parts.
|
||
6
|
Is the drive belt normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Replace the drive belt.
|
||
7
|
Is there any leakage around the heater unit in passenger compartment?
|
Yes
|
Inspect the service heater for leakage.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
8
|
Is there any leakage at the coolant hoses and/or radiator?
|
Yes
|
Replace the malfunctioning part.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
9
|
Cool down the engine.
Remove the thermostat and inspect the operation.
Is the thermostat normal?
|
Yes
|
If the engine coolant temperature and the thermostat are normal, inspect the engine block for leakage or blockage.
|
No
|
Access the ECT PID.
Inspect both the ECT PID and temperature gauge readings.
• If the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster indicates a normal range but the ECT PID is not the same as the temperature gauge reading, inspect the ECT sensor.
• If the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster indicates overheating but the ECT PID is normal, inspect the temperature gauge and the heat gauge units.
|
||
10
|
Verify the test results.
• If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
• If the malfunction remains, inspect related Service information and perform repair or diagnosis.
