NO.4 AIR INTAKE MODE DOES NOT CHANGE

id070300800700


Full-auto Air Conditioner, Manual Air Conditioner (Wtih air intake actuator)

4
Air intake mode does not change.
DESCRIPTION
•  Air intake mode does not change when switching REC/FRESH mode.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Air intake actuator malfunction (Steps 1—6)
•  Air intake door malfunction (Step 7)

•  When performing an asterisked (*) troubleshooting inspection, shake the wiring harness and connectors while performing the inspection to discover whether poor contact points are the cause of any intermittent malfunctions. If there is a problem, inspect to make sure connectors, terminals and wiring harnesses are connected correctly and undamaged.

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION
1*
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION (LACK OF CONTINUITY) IS IN AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR, WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT AND AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR) OR ELSEWHERE
•  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
•  Measure the voltages at the following climate control unit terminals.
―  Terminal O (24-pin, FRESH motor drive signal)
―  Terminal Q (24-pin, RECIRCULATE motor drive signal)
•  Are voltages normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 3.
2*
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION (LACK OF CONTINUITY) IS IN AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR OR WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT AND AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR)
•  Measure the voltages at the following air intake actuator terminals.
―  Terminal E (FRESH motor drive signal)
―  Terminal C (RECIRCULATE motor drive signal)
•  Are voltages as shown below?
―  Terminal E: approx. 0.5 V during RECIRCULATE and approx. 10 V during FRESH
―  Terminal C: approx. 10 V during RECIRCULATE and approx. 0.5 V during FRESH
Yes
Replace the air intake actuator, then go to Step 8.
No
Repair the wiring harness between the climate control unit and air intake actuator, then go to Step 8.
3
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR OR ELSEWHERE
•  Disconnect the air intake actuator connector.
•  Measure the voltages at the following climate control unit terminals.
―  Terminal O (FRESH motor drive signal)
―  Terminal Q (RECIRCULATE motor drive signal)
•  Are voltages normal?
Yes
Inspect the air intake actuator, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (SHORT TO B+ BETWEEN CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT AND AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR) OR ELSEWHERE
•  Disconnect the climate control unit connector.
•  Measure the voltages at the following climate control unit terminals.
―  Terminal O (FRESH motor drive signal)
―  Terminal Q (RECIRCULATE motor drive signal)
•  Are voltages approx. 0 V?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair the wiring harness between the climate control unit and air intake actuator, then go to Step 8.
5
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (SHORT TO GROUND BETWEEN CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT AND AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR) OR ELSEWHERE
•  Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
•  Inspect for continuity at the following terminals between the climate control unit and ground.
―  Terminal O (FRESH motor drive signal)
―  Terminal Q (RECIRCULATE motor drive signal)
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair the wiring harness between the climate control unit and air intake actuator, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT AIR INTAKE LINK
•  Inspect the air intake links.
―  Is there grease on link?
―  Are the links securely and properly installed?
―  Are the links free of obstructions and hindrances?
•  Are the above items normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Apply grease to the links. If any the links are damaged, replace the air intake actuator, then go to Step 8.
7
INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT OR AIR INTAKE DOOR
•  Inspect the A/C unit air intake door.
―  Is the door free of obstructions, cracks, and damage?
―  Are the doors securely and properly installed?
•  Are the above items normal?
Yes
Replace the climate control unit, then go to the next step.
No
Remove obstruction, or install the doors in the proper position. If any doors are cracked or damaged, replace them, then go to the next step.
8
CONFIRM THAT MALFUNCTION SYMPTOMS DO NOT RECUR AFTER REPAIR
•  Does the air intake mode change smoothly?
Yes
Troubleshooting completed. Explain repairs to customer.
No
Recheck malfunction symptoms, then repeat from Step 1 if the malfunction recurs.

Air intake mode does not change.
DESCRIPTION
•  Air intake mode does not change when switching REC/FRESH mode.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Air intake wire, clamp malfunction (Step 1)
•  Climate control unit air intake control lever malfunction (Step 2)
•  A/C unit air intake door malfunction (Steps 3, 4)

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION
1
VERIFY AIR INTAKE WIRE FROM A/C UNIT IS POSITIONED SECURELY AND CORRECTLY
•  Is the air intake wire securely installed in the correct position in relation to the A/C unit air intake links?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Adjust the air intake wire or install securely in the correct position, then go to Step 5.
2
INSPECT CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT
•  Remove the air intake wire from A/C unit.
•  Inspect climate control unit air intake control lever operation.
•  Does the air intake lever move smoothly?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the climate control unit, then go to Step 5.
3
INSPECT A/C UNIT
•  Is there any foreign material or obstruction in the A/C unit air intake door?
Yes
Remove obstruction, then go to Step 5.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT A/C UNIT AIR INTAKE DOOR
•  Is the A/C unit air intake door securely and properly installed?
Yes
Inspect the air intake door for cracks or damage, then go to the next step.
No
Install the air intake door securely in the proper position, then go to the next step.
5
CONFIRM THAT MALFUNCTION SYMPTOMS DO NOT RECUR AFTER REPAIR
•  Does the air intake mode change smoothly?
