AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING

55B-133

STEP 2. Check the wiring harness between A/C-ECU
connector D-23 (terminal 9), D-24 (terminal 29) and A/C
compressor connector B-30 (terminal 1, 2).

NOTE: Also check intermediate connector E-111. If intermedi-
ate connector E-111 is damaged, repair or replace the connec-
tor as described in GROUP 00E, Harness Connector
Inspection

P.00E-2

.

Q: Is the wiring harness between A/C-ECU connector D-23

(terminal 9), D-24 (terminal 29) and A/C compressor
connector B-30 (terminal 1, 2) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair the wiring harness. Check that the air

conditioning works normally.

STEP 3. Replace the lock sensor.
Q: Does the air conditioning work normally?

YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : Replace the A/C-ECU (Refer to

P.55B-142

). Check

that the air conditioning works normally.
