•

Malfunction of the magnetic clutch

•

Malfunction of the manual air conditioner control
panel (A/C-ECU)

•

Damaged the wiring harness or connectors

•

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check the defogger and outside/inside
air selection damper control motor operation.

Q: Do the defogger and outside/inside air selection

damper control motor work normally?
YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Refer to Inspection procedure 9
"Malfunction of the A/C-ECU power supply
system

P.55A-47

."

STEP 2. Check the blower motor operation.

Q: Does the blower motor work normally?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Refer to Inspection procedure 4 "Blower fan
and motor do not turn

P.55A-29

."

STEP 3. Check the A/C compressor.
Check the A/C compressor for compressor oil leaks.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Replace the A/C compressor or the
expansion valve.

STEP 4. Measure the voltage at the B-27 A/C
compressor connector.

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

wiring harness side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Disconnect engine-ECU connector C-134, and

earth terminal 8. <2000>

(4) Disconnect engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU

connector C-139, and earth terminal 8. <2400>

(5) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and

body earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 18.

NO :

Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the A/C compressor relay
continuity.

Refer to

P.55A-57

.

Q: Is the A/C compressor relay in good condition?

YES :

Go to Step 6.

NO :

Replace the A/C compressor relay.

STEP 6. Measure the voltage at B-18X A/C
compressor relay connector.

(1) Remove the relay, and measure at the relay box

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 3 and

body earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 9.

NO :

Go to Step 7.

NOTE:

Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check interme-
diate connector C-106, junction block connectors
C-203 and C-205, and repair if necessary.

•

Check the A/C compressor relay power supply
line for open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00, How to
Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

P.00-6

).

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 9. Measure the voltage at B-18X A/C
compressor relay connector.

(1) Remove the relay, and measure at the junction

block side.

(2) Measure the voltage between terminal 4 and

body earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 12.

NO :

Go to Step 10.
