A/C System Test
A
B
 Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
 Be careful when connecting service equipment.
 Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
The performance test will help determine if the A/C
system is operating within specifications.
NOTE:  If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service.
 Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
1. Do the A/C system inspection (see page 21-6), and correct any problems found.
2. Connect an R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/ charging station to the high-pressure service port
and the low-pressure service port, following the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Determine the relative humidity and air temperature.
4. Open the glove box. Remove the glove box stop on each side, then let the glove box hang down
(see page 20-104).
5. Insert a thermometer (A) in the center vent. 6. Place a thermometer (B) near the blower unit’s
recirculation inlet duct.
7. Test conditions:  Move the vehicle out of direct sunlight and let itcool down to the surrounding (ambient)
temperature. If necessary, wash the vehicle to
cool it down more quickly.
 The ambient temperature must be at least 16 °C (60 °F).
 Open the hood.
 Open the front doors.
 Set the temperature control dial to Max Cool, the mode control switch to Vent, and the
recirculation control switch to Recirculate.
 Turn the A/C switch ON and the fan switch to Max.
 Hold the engine speed at 1,500 rpm.
 No driver or passengers in the vehicle.
8. Inspect the A/C components for the following conditions:
 A/C compressor clutch not engaged.
 Abnormal frost areas.
 Unusual noises.
If you observe any of these conditions, refer to the
Symptom Troubleshooting Index.
9. After running the air conditioning for 10 minutes under the above test conditions, read the delivery
temperature from the thermometer in the center
vent, the intake temperature near the blower unit,
and the discharge (high) and suction (low)
pressures on the A/C gauges.

related to the failure.

Sleep and Wake-up Mode Test
1. Shift to the sleep mode:Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and remove the key. If the MICU receives no signals from the inputs listed
below, it will go into sleep mode in less than 40 seconds.
Driver’s door lock switch (LOCK or UNLOCK)
Driver’s door key cylinder switch (LOCK or UNLOCK)
Front passenger’s door lock switch (LOCK or UNLOCK)
Trunk lid latch switch (Trunk lid closed)
Hazard warning switch (OFF)
2. Confirm the sleep mode: Measure the frequency on the B-CAN communication line (PNK wire); there should be 0 Hz when the system is in
the sleep mode. Check the parasitic draw at the battery while shifting into the sleep mode; the amperage should
change from about 200 mA to less than 35 mA.
3. Shift to the wake up mode: When the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), the MICU, gauge control module, immob ilizer-keyless control unit,
and ECM/PCM wake up at the same time without ‘‘talking’’ to each other through the communication lines. When
any switch in the multiplex integrated control system is turned on, it wakes up its related control unit which, in
turn, wakes up the other units. After confirming the sleep mode, look in the following table for the switch most
related to the problem. Operate that switch and see if its control unit wakes up.
NOTE: If any control unit is faulty and will not wake up, several circuits in the system will malfunction at the same
time. In the table below, the control unit is followed by a list of the switches and input signals that can wake it up.

Security Alarm System
22-114Keyless/Power Door Locks/Security System
System Description
The security alarm system is armed automatically after the doors, hood, and trunk are closed and locked. For the
system to arm, the ignition switch must be to LOCK (0), the key must be removed from the ignition switch, and the
MICU must receive signals that the doors, hood, and trunk are closed and locked. The alarm can be disarmed at any
time by unlocking the driver’s door with the key or pressing the UNLOCK button on the transmitter.
When everything is closed and locked, the only i
nputs that are grounded, and have 0 V, are the driver’s door lock knob
switch (LOCK position), and the audio unit or navigation unit (if equipped). In other words, all of the other switches are
open, and have about 10 to 12 V, including the key cylinder switches. The security indicator in the gauge control
module (speedo) begins to flash immediately after the vehicle is completely closed and locked, and 15 seconds later,
the security system arms. If the security indicator does not flash, the system is not arming. A beep sounds and parking
lights flash to confirm the security alarm system is armed if the LOCK button is pressed a second time within
5 seconds.
If one of the switches is misadjusted or shorted internally, or there is a short in the circuit, the security system will not
arm. As long as the control unit continues to receive a ground signal (0 V), it senses that the vehicle is not closed and
locked, and the system will not arm. A switch that is slightly misadjusted can cause the alarm to sound for no apparent
reason. In this case, a significant change in outside air temperature, the vibration of a passing truck, or someone
bumping into the vehicle could cause the alarm to sound. There is no glass breakage or motion detector feature.
If anything is opened or improperly unlocked after the system is armed, the control unit receives a ground signal from
that switch, and the 10 to 12 V reference drops to 0 V. If the audio unit or navigation unit (if equipped) is disconnected,
the input loses its ground, and the input voltage goes to 10 to 12 V. The system sounds the alarm when any of these
occur:
 A door or the trunk is forced open.
 A door is unlocked without using the key or the transmitter.
 The hood is opened.
 The audio unit or navigation unit (if equipped) is disconnected.
 The transmitter PANIC button is pressed.
When the system sounds the alarm, the horn sounds and the exterior lights flash for 2 minutes. The alarm can be
stopped at any time by unlocking the driver’s door with the key or by pressing any button on the transmitter.

NOTE:
 Before troubleshooting, check the B-CAN DTCs. If any DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the indicated DTC first.
 Before troubleshooting, do the keyless transmitter test (see page 22-142).
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Try to start the engine.

Go to the immobilizer symptom
troubleshooting (see page 22- 323).
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Connect the HDS to the data link connector.
5. Close all doors, then turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Enter the BODY ELECTRICAL menu, and check the door switch parameters.
Go to step 7.
Faulty door switch, or shorted door switch
wire. Repair as necessary.
7. Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch.
8. Disconnect the immobilizer-keyless control unit 7P connector. 9. Measure the voltage between immobilizer-keyless
control unit 7P connector terminal No. 1 and body

Check the fuse No. 23 (10 A) in the under-
hood fuse/relay box. If the fuse is blown, replace
the fuse and repair a short to ground in the wire. If
the fuse is OK, repair an open in the wire.
10. Disconnect the ignition key switch 6P connector.
11. At the ignition key switch side, check for continuity between ignition key switch 6P connector terminals
No. 1 and No. 2.
Faulty ignition key switch or short to ground,

Trunk Lid Release Actuator Test Hood Switch Test
1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Disconnect the 3P connector from the trunk lid latch switch/trunk lid release actuator.
3. Check actuator operation by connecting power to terminal No. 1 and ground to terminal No. 2
momentarily. The actuator should work.
4. If the actuator does not work, replace the trunk lid latch switch/trunk lid release actuator assembly
(see page 20-185). 1. Open the hood.
2. Disconnect the 2P connector from the hood switch.
3. Check for continuity between the terminals.
 There should be continuity between terminalsNo. 1 and No. 2 when the hood is opened (latch
released).
 There should be no continuity between terminals No. 1 and No. 2 when the hood is closed (latch
pushed down).
4. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the hood latch assembly (see page 20- 181).
