MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-267

Inspection Procedure 28: A/C Load Signal System

OPERATION

œ

The A/C load signal is inputted to the engine-
ECU (terminal No. 24) from the A/C-ECU (termi-
nal No. 5). <Manual A/C> or (terminal No. 32)
<Auto A/C>

FUNCTION

œ

The magnitude of the A/C compressor load is
detected and input to the engine-ECU. The
engine-ECU provides A/C idle up control accord-
ing to the A/C compressor load condition.

PROBABLE CAUSE

œ

Failed A/C-ECU

œ

Open/short circuit in A/C load signal circuit or
loose connector contact

œ

Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Measure voltage at C-134 engine-ECU
connector.

œ

Measure engine-ECU terminal voltage.

œ

Engine: Idling

œ

A/C switch: ON (A/C compressor in driven state)

œ

Voltage between terminal No. 24 and earth

OK:

1 V or less (when the temperate around the

atmospheric air temperature sensor is 18

•

C

or more, and the A/C is set to the lowest tem-
perature and the maximum air flow rate)

System voltage (when the A/C is set to the

temperature in the cabin and the minimum
air flow rate)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2 .

NO :

Go to Step 4 .

STEP 2. Connector check: C-134 engine-ECU
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3 .

NO :

Repair.

STEP 3. Check the trouble symptoms.

Q: Does trouble symptom persist?

YES :

Replace engine-ECU.

NO :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP
00

-

How to Use

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

3

00

).

STEP 4. Connector check: C-134 engine-ECU
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5 .

NO :

Repair.

STEP 5. Measure voltage at C-06 A/C-ECU
connector <Manual A/C> or C-26 A/C-ECU
connector <Auto A/C>.

œ

Measure A/C-ECU terminal voltage.

œ

Engine: Idling

œ

A/C set temperature:
Maximum Cool when temperature in cabin is

25

•

C or more

Maximum Hot when temperature in cabin is 25

•

C

or less

œ

Voltage between terminal No. 5 and earth <Man-
ual A/C>

œ

Voltage between terminal No. 32 and earth <Auto
A/C>

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 8 .

NO :

Go to Step 6 .

STEP 6. Connector Check: C-06 A/C-ECU
connector <Manual A/C> or C-26 A/C-ECU
connector <Auto A/C>

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 7 .

NO :

Repair.

STEP 7. Check harness between C-06 (terminal
No. 5) or C-26 (terminal No. 32) A/C-ECU
connector and C-134 (terminal No. 24) engine-
ECU connector.

NOTE: Before checking harness, check intermediate
connector C-104, and repair if necessary.

œ

Check output line for short circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Check A/C system (Refer to GROUP 55A

-

Troubleshooting

55A

).

NO :

Repair.

STEP 8. Check connector: C-06 A/C-ECU
connector <Manual A/C> or C-26 A/C-ECU
connector <Auto A/C>

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Check intermediate connector C-104, and

repair if necessary. If intermediate
connector is normal, check and repair
harness between C-06 (terminal No. 5) or
C-26 (terminal No. 32) A/C-ECU connector
and C-134 (terminal No. 24) engine-ECU
connector.

œ

Check output line for open circuit.

NO :

Repair.
