INEFFECTIVE OPERATION OF A/C DURING ENGINE STOP (i-stop SYSTEM)

DESCRIPTION
•  A/C airflow temperature gradually increases or decreases while i-stop function is operating.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
A/C system malfunction
•  Climate control unit falsely recognizes MAX HOT or MAX COLD of air mix door on driver-side
―  Driver-side air mix actuator malfunction
―  Driver-side air mix actuator position sensor malfunction
―  Driver-side air mix door link stuck
•  Cabin temperature of target vehicle cannot be calculated.
―  Cabin temperature sensor malfunction
―  Solar radiation sensor malfunction
―  Ambient temperature sensor malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

RESULTS

ACTION

1
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS i-stop SYSTEM OR A/C SYSTEM
•  Verify the malfunction symptom.
•  Does the malfunction occur only while the i-stop function is operating (engine stopped)?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the applicable A/C malfunction diagnostic procedure.
2
VERIFY DTC
•  Retrieve the PCM, instrument cluster and climate control unit DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Go to the next step.
3
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL OR OTHER
•  Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).
•  Compare the ambient temperature sensor on the LCD with the actual ambient temperature.
•  Does the ambient temperature on the LCD correspond to the actual ambient temperature?
Yes
With manual air conditioner:
•  Go to Step 11.
With full-auto air conditioner:
•  Go to Step 5.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
•  Inspect the ambient temperature sensor.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the ambient temperature sensor.
No
Inspect the wiring harness between the following terminals:
•  Ambient temperature sensor terminal A—PCM terminal 2I
•  Ambient temperature sensor terminal B—PCM terminal 2AJ
―  If there is any malfunction:
•  Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness.
5
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS CABIN TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL OR OTHER
•  Access the climate control unit PID INC_TMP_SEN using the M-MDS.
•  Does the INC_TMP_SEN PID value indicate the actual cabin temperature of the vehicle?
Yes
Go to Step 7.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT CABIN TEMPERATURE SENSOR
•  Inspect the cabin temperature sensor.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the cabin temperature sensor.
No
Inspect the wiring harness between the following terminals for a short or open circuit:
•  Cabin temperature sensor terminal A—Climate control unit terminal 1H
•  Cabin temperature sensor terminal B—Climate control unit terminal 1J
If there is any malfunction:
―  Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
•  Cabin temperature sensor terminal A—Climate control unit terminal 1H
•  Cabin temperature sensor terminal B—Climate control unit terminal 1J
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 for a short or open circuit.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short or open circuit.
7
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR SIGNAL OR OTHER
•  Access the climate control unit PID SLR_R_SEN_L and SLR_R_SEN_R using the M-MDS.
•  Does the SLR_R_SEN_L and SLR_R_SEN_R PID value display according to the solar radiation condition?
Yes
Go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
8
INSPECT SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR
•  Inspect the solar radiation sensor.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the solar radiation sensor.
No
Inspect the wiring harness between the following terminals:
•  Solar radiation sensor terminal B—Climate control unit terminal 1O
•  Solar radiation sensor terminal C—Climate control unit terminal 1M
―  If there is any malfunction:
•  Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness.
9
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS DRIVER-SIDE AIR MIX ACTUATOR SIGNAL OR OTHER
•  Measure the voltage at the following terminal (wiring harness-side) when the driver-side temperature setting is MAX HOT and MAX COLD.
―  Climate control unit terminal 2G (L.H.D.)
―  Climate control unit terminal 2E (R.H.D.)
Yes
The system is normal.
•  Effect is due to a possible change in the vehicle environment while the engine is stopped (change in solar radiation).
No
Go to the next step.
10
INSPECT DRIVER-SIDE AIR MIX ACTUATOR
•  Inspect the driver-side air mix actuator.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the driver-side air mix actuator.
No
Inspect the air mix actuator and linkage for sticking.
•  If there is any malfunction:
―  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
11
Verify the test results.
•  If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
•  If a malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Information and perform the repair or diagnosis.
―  If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting is completed.
―  If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, replace the PCM.
