Step

Inspection

Action

1

• When both the A/C switch and airflow volume control dial in the climate control unit are on, does cool air blow out from the vent?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Go to Step 1 of the following troubleshooting.

NO COOL AIR [CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM]

2

• Remove the INTERIOR 15 A fuse and ROOM 25 A fuse.

• Is the fuse normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

If the fuse is melted:

Repair or replace wiring harness for a short to ground and replace the fuse.

If the fuse is deterioration:

Replace the fuse.

Then go to Step 13.

3

• Inspect the air intake actuator link.

  (See A/C UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

• Is there grease on the link?

• Is the link securely and properly positioned?

• Is the link free of obstructions?

• Are the above items normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Apply grease or install the link properly and securely, remove obstruction, then go to Step 13.

(See A/C UNIT DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY.)

4*

• Disconnect the climate control unit connector.

  (See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER].)

  (See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)

• Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).

• Measure voltage at the following terminal of climate control unit.

• Terminal L

• Is the voltage approx. 12 V?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between fuse block terminal and climate control unit terminal.

If there is a common connector:

• Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness.

• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:

• Repair or replace the wiring harness.

Go to Step 13.

5

• Switch the ignition off.

• Connect the climate control unit connector.

• Remove the air intake actuator.

  (See AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER].)

  (See AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)

• Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).

• Set the airflow volume control dial to MAX position.

• Does the air intake mode (RECIRCULATE, FRESH) change smoothly when the air intake link is operated by hand?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Go to Step 11.

6

• Inspect the air intake actuator.

  (See AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR INSPECTION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER].)

  (See AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR INSPECTION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)

• Is it normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the air intake actuator, go to Step 13.

(See AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER].)

(See AIR INTAKE ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)

7

• Measure voltage at the following terminals of climate control unit.

• Terminal U (FRESH signal)

• Terminal S (RECIRCULATE signal)

• Is voltage normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the climate control unit, then go to Step 13.

(See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER].)

(See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)

8*

• Switch the ignition off.

• Is there continuity between the following climate control unit terminals and air intake actuator terminals?

• Terminal U —Terminal A (FRESH signal)

• Terminal S —Terminal B (RECIRCULATE signal)

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between climate control unit terminal and air intake actuator terminal.

If there is a common connector:

• Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.

• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:

• Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 13.

9*

• Is there continuity between the following climate control unit terminals and ground?

• Terminal U (FRESH signal)

• Terminal S (RECIRCULATE signal)

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between climate control unit terminal and air intake actuator terminal.

If there is a common connector:

• Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.

• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:

• Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

Go to Step 13.

No

Go to the next step.

10*

• Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).

• Measure the voltage at the following climate control unit terminals.

• Terminal U (FRESH signal)

• Terminal S (RECIRCULATE signal)

• Is the voltage approx. 12 V?

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between climate control unit terminal and air intake actuator terminal.

If there is a common connector:

• Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.

• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:

• Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to Step 13.

No

Replace the climate control unit, then go to Step 13.

(See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER].)

(See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)

11

• Is there any foreign matter or obstruction in the A/C unit air intake door?

  (See A/C UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

Yes

Remove obstruction, then go to Step 13.

No

Go to the next step.

12

• Is the a/c unit air intake door securely and properly positioned?

  (See A/C UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Install the air intake door securely in the proper position, then go to the next step.

(See A/C UNIT DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY.)

13

• Does the malfunction disappear?

Yes

Troubleshooting completed.

Explain repairs to customer.

No

Recheck malfunction symptoms, then repeat from Step 1 if the malfunction recurs.
