AUXILIARY MECHANISM: TEMPERATURE SETTING TRIMMER
The trimmer compensates for differences in range of ±3 °C ( ±6°F) between temperature setting (displayed dig-
itally) and temperature felt by customer.
Operating procedures for this trimmer are as follows:
1. Begin self-diagnosis STEP-5 mode. Refer to AT C - 5 2 , "
Self-diagnosis Function" .
2. Press (fan) UP switch to set system in auxiliary mode.
3. Display shows 61 in auxiliary mechanism. It takes approximately 3 seconds to enable setting operation.
4. Press temperature control switch (driver side) as desired. Temperature will change at a rate of 0.5 °C
(1.0 °F) each time a switch is pressed.
CAUTION:
A decimal point is not indicated when the display shows “ °C”.
When battery cable is disconnected or battery voltage is 10 V or less, trimmer operation is canceled. Temper-
ature set becomes that of initial condition, i.e. 0 °C (0 °F).

Power Supply and Ground Circuit for Auto Amp.NJS000E2
SYMPTOM: A/C system does not come on.
INSPECTION FLOW
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Unified Meter and A/C Amp. (Automatic Amplifier)
The unified meter and A/C amp. has a built-in microcomputer which
processes information sent from various sensors needed for air con-
ditioner operation. The air mix door motor, mode door motor, intake
door motor, blower motor and compressor are then controlled.
When the various switches and temperature control switch are oper-
ated, data is input to the unified meter and A/C amp. from the display
control unit using CAN communication.
Self-diagnosis functions are also built into unified meter and A/C
amp. to provide quick check of malfunctions in the auto air condi-
tioner system.

Potentio Temperature Control (PTC)
The PTC is built into the A/C and AV switch. It can be set at an inter-
val of 0.5 °C (1.0 °F) in the 18 °C (60 °F) to 32 °C (90 °F) temperature
range by pressing temperature control switch. The set temperature
is displayed.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR A/C SYSTEM
SYMPTOM: A/C system does not come on.
1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
1. Disconnect unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
2. Check voltage between unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector M56 terminals 21, 22 and 35, unified meter and A/C
amp. harness connector M57 terminal 46 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check 10A and 15A fuses [Nos. 6, 10, 11, 12 and 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]. Refer to PG-
81, "FUSE BLOCK - JUNCTION BOX (J/B)" .

If fuses are OK, check harness for open circuit. Repair or replace if necessary.

If fuses are NG, check harness for short circuit and replace fuse.
