.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

If the blower motor speed cannot be changed, the
power transistor 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-120 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is power transistor connector C-120 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-120.
(1) Disconnect power transistor connector C-120, 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
transistor connector C-120 (terminal 1) and ground.

• Check the power transistor ground line for open circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between power transistor

connector C-120 (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-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 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-109 (terminals 1,2 and 14) and power
transistor connector C-120 (terminals 2 and 4).

• Check the AC-ECU signal line for open and short circuit.

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

C-109 (terminals 1 and 2) and power transistor
connector C-120 (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 control motor system may be
defective.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the outside/inside air selection

damper control 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.

HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION

55A-86

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.55A-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 : Go to Step 2.
NO : Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART

P.55A-11

.

STEP 2. Check outside/inside air selection damper control
motor connector C-106 and A/C-ECU connector C-108 for
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are outside/inside air selection damper control motor

connector C-106 and A/C-ECU connector C-108 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.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between A/C-ECU
connector C-108 (terminals 26, 25, 27, 24 and 29) and
outside/inside air selection damper control motor
connector C-106 (terminals 2, 5, 4. 1 and 3).

• Check the AC-ECU signal line for open and short circuit.

Q: Are the wiring harness between A/C-ECU connector

C-108 (terminals 26, 25, 27, 24 and 29) and
outside/inside air selection damper control motor
connector C-106 (terminals 2, 5, 4. 1 and 3) in good
condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
