General Troubleshooting Information
How to Retrieve a DTC
The heater control panel has a self-diagnosis function. To run the self-diagnosis function, do the following:
1. Turn the fan switch OFF.
2. Pressand holdthe recirculation control switch andthe rear window defoooer switch down.
3. Turn the ignition switch oN {lli.
4. Release both switches. The recirculation indicator and the rear window defogger indicator come on. The
recirculation indicator goes off 3 seconds later and the Ay'C indicator comes on. then the self-diagnosis will begin.
About 10 seconds later, the self-diagnosis will finish and the A,/C indicator goes off.

This vehicle uses HFC-134a (R-'134a) refrigerant which does not contain ch lorofluorocarbons. Pay attention to the
following service items:
. Do not mix refrigerants CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). They are notcompatible.. Use onlythe recommended polyalkyleneglycol (PAG ) refrigera nt oil (KElHlN SP '!0) designedfortheR-134a
compressor. Intermixing the recommended (PAG) refrigerant oil with any other retrigerant oil will result in
compressor failu re.. AllAy'C system parts (compressor, discharge line, suction line, evaporator, condenser, receiver/dryer. expansion
valve, O-rings for joints) have to be designed for refrigerant R 134a. Do not exchange with R-'12 parts.
. Use a halogen gas leak detector designed for refrigerant R-134a.. R-12 and R-134a refrigerant servicing equipment are not interchangeable. Use only a recovery/recycling/charging
station that is U.L.-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to service R-134a air conditioning
system.. Always recover the refrigerant R-134a with an approved recovery/recycling/charging station before disconnecting
any Ay'C fifting.
