Self-diagnosis FunctionNJS0000W
DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnosis system diagnoses sensors, door motors, blower motor, etc. by system line.
Self-diagnosis is STEP-1 to 7. There are two ways of changing method during self-diagnosis.

Switching to self-diagnosis STEP-1 to 4.
Shifting from normal control to the self-diagnosis system is accomplished by starting the engine (turning
the ignition switch from OFF to ON) and pressing A/C switch for at least 5 seconds. The A/C switch must
be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned ON). This system will be
canceled by either pressing intake switch or turning the ignition switch OFF. Shifting to the next step is
accomplished by means of turning fan control dial, as required.

Switching to self-diagnosis STEP-5 to 7 (Auxiliary mechanism).
Shifting from normal control to the self-diagnosis system is accomplished by starting the engine (turning
the ignition switch from OFF to ON) and pressing intake switch for at least 5 seconds. The intake switch
must be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned ON). This system
will be canceled by either pressing A/C switch or turning the ignition switch OFF. Shifting to the next step
is accomplished by means of turning fan control dial, as required.

FUNCTION CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1. SET IN SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE (STEP-1 TO 4)
1. Set the fan control dial to OFF position.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Set in self-diagnosis mode as follows. Within 10 seconds after starting engine (ignition switch is turned
ON.), press A/C switch for at least 5 seconds.
NOTE:
If battery voltage drops below 12 V during diagnosis STEP-3, door motor speed becomes slower and as a
result, the system may generate an error even when operation is normal. To avoid this, start engine before
performing this diagnosis.
>> GO TO 2.
2. STEP-1: LEDS ARE CHECKED
Check intake and A/C switch LEDs illumination.
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Refer to AT C - 9 1 , "
Self-diagnosis" .
3. CHECK TO ADVANCE SELF-DIAGNOSIS STEP-2
1. Turn fan control dial to AUTO position.
NOTE:
When switched to STEP-2, LED of REC position blinks for
approximately 25 seconds.
2. Check A/C switch LED illumination.
Advance to self
-diagnosis STEP-2?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Replace A/C controller. (Fan control dial is malfunction-
ing.)
4. CHECK TO RETURN SELF-DIAGNOSIS STEP-1
Turn fan control dial to OFF position.
Return to self
-diagnosis STEP-1?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Replace A/C controller. (Fan control dial is malfunctioning.)

perature, blower motor duty ratio and compressor operation.
Checks must be made visually, by listening the sound, or by touching air outlets with hand, etc. for improper
operation.

AUXILIARY MECHANISM: TEMPERATURE SETTING TRIMMER
The trimmer compensates for differences in range of ±3°C (±6°F) between temperature setting (temperature
control dial position) and temperature felt by customer.
Operating procedures for this trimmer are as follows:
1. Set fan control dial to OFF.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Set in self-diagnosis mode as follows. Within 10 seconds after starting engine (ignition switch is turned
ON.), press intake switch for at least 5 seconds.
4. When intake switch is pressed, temperature shifts in following order: 0°C (0°F)→ 1°C (2°F)→ 2°C (4°F)→
3°C (6°F)→ −3°C (−6°F)→ −2°C (−4°F)→ −1°C (−2°F)→ return to 0°C (0°F).
When battery cable is disconnected or battery voltage is below 9 V, trimmer operation is canceled. Tempera-
ture set becomes that of initial condition, i.e. 0°C (0°F).
