DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, read the 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.42C-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 check result satisfactory?

YES : Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart

P.55A-11

.

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check that the blower motor operation when the
blower knob is moved to the "Maximum air volume"
position.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Turn the blower knob to the "Maximum air volume" position
Q: Does the blower motor operate when the blower knob is

moved to the "Maximum air volume" position?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Refer to Inspection procedure 4 "Blower fan and

motor do not turn

P.55A-77

."

STEP 3. Check the rear window defogger and
outside/inside air selection damper control motor
operation.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Check the operations of rear window defogger and

outside/inside air selection damper control motor.

Q: Do the defogger and outside/inside air selection damper

control motor work normally?
YES : Refer to Inspection procedure 3 "The A/C compressor

does not Work

P.55A-69

."

NO : Refer to Inspection procedure 2, "Malfunction of the

A/C-ECU power supply system

P.55A-65

."

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

The A/C-ECU power system may be defective if the
air conditioning, defogger, and outside/inside air
selection damper motor all do not operate normally.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the A/C-ECU

• Damaged harness wires or connectors

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991223: Test Harness Set

STEP 1. Check A/C-ECU connector C-109 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is A/C-ECU connector C-109 in good condition?

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

00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Check

that the A/C works normally.

STEP 2. Measure the voltage at A/C-ECU connector C-109.
(1) Disconnect A/C-ECU connector C-109 and measure the

voltage at the harness side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 15 and ground.

• The measured value should be approximately 12 volts

(battery positive voltage).

Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-317 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is ETACS-ECU connector C-317 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP

00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Check

that the A/C works normally.
