HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION55-130
STEP 3. Using scan tool , check data list item 67: Photo
sensor.
(1) Connect scan tool to the data link connector.
(2) Start the engine.
(3) Set scan tool to the data reading mode for item 67: Photo
sensor.
Check that the display on the scan tool changes when
the photo sensor is covered with hands.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor within the specified range?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 4.

AUTO A/C DIAGNOSIS
HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION55-131
STEP 4. Check A/C-ECU connectors C-15, C-16 and photo
sensor connector C-04 for loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are A/C-ECU connectors C-15, C-16 and photo sensor
connector C-04 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP
00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2. Check
that the air conditioning works normally.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between photo sensor
connector C-04 (terminals 3, 4) and A/C-ECU connector
C-15 (terminal 19), C-16 (terminal 25).
Q: Is the wiring harness between photo sensor connector
C-04 (terminals 3, 4) and A/C-ECU connector C-15
(terminal 19), C-16 (terminal 25) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair the wiring harness. Check that the air
conditioning works normally.
STEP 6. Replace the photo sensor.
Q: Does the A/C operate normally?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : Replace the A/C-ECU. Check that the air conditioning
works normally.
STEP 7. Check the refrigerant level.
Use the refrigerant recovery station to remove all of the refrig-
erant, and then calculate the amount of the refrigerant and
charge it.
Q: Is the refrigerant level correct?
YES : Refer to GROUP 55A, Symptom Chart P.55-68.
NO : Correct the refrigerant level. Check that the air
conditioning works normally. (Refer to GROUP 55A
On-vehicle Service P.55-141).
