.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

If the blower motor speed cannot be changed, the power tran-
sistor circuit is suspected.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the power transistor

• Malfunction of the A/C-ECU

• Damaged harness wires or connectors

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

STEP 1. Check power transistor connector C-119 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is power transistor connector C-119 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP

00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

.The

blower motor should operate normally.

STEP 2. Measure the resistance at power transistor
connector C-119.
(1) Disconnect power transistor connector C-119, and measure

the resistance at the wiring harness side.

(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 1 and

ground.

OK: The measured value should be 2 ohms or less

Q: Does the measured resistance value correspond with

this range?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between power transitor
connector C-119 (terminal 1) and ground.
Q: Is the wiring harness between power transitor

connector C-119 (terminal 1) and ground in good
condition?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-15

.

NO : Repair the wiring harness. The blower motor should

operate normally.

STEP 4. Check A/C-ECU connector C-22 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is A/C-ECU connector C-22 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP

00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

.The

blower motor should operate normally.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between A/C-ECU
connector C-22 (terminals 1 and 2) and power transitor
connector C-119 (terminals 2 and 4).
Q: Is the wiring harness between A/C-ECU connector C-22

(terminals 1 and 2) and power transitor connector C-119
(terminals 2 and 4) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair the wiring harness. The blower motor should

operate normally.

STEP 6. Replace the power transistor and check the
trouble symptom again
Check the trouble symptom again.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : The procedure is complete.
NO : Replace the A/C-ECU.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 6: Outside/Inside Air Changeover is not possible.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

If the outside/inside air selection damper control motor does not
operate normally, the outside/inside air selection damper con-
trol motor system may be defective.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the outside/inside air selection damper con-

trol motor

• Malfunction of the A/C-ECU

• Damaged harness wires or connectors

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check for diagnostic
trouble code.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
Check if an A/C-ECU DTC is set.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the

Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III)

P.55-7

."

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check if the DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART

P.55-9

.

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check outside/inside air selection damper control
motor connector C-111 and A/C-ECU connector C-20 for
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are outside/inside air selection damper control motor

connector C-111 and A/C-ECU connector C-20 in good
condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP

00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Check

that the A/C works normally.
