Self-diagnosis Function
The heater control panel has a self-diagnosis function.
Running the Self-diagnosis Function'97 mod€l:
Turn the ignition switch ON {ll), then set the mode control dial to the Vent position, and the recirculation controt switch toRecirculate {recirculation indicator light comes on). Press and hold the recirculation control switch to Fresh (recirculation indi-cator light goes off). Continue to hold the switch; the recirculation indicator light will come on for two seconds. then it willblink the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to indicate a iaulty component. lf no DTC'S are found, the indicator liqht will notblink atter the initial two second light.
'98 - 00 models:
Set the mode control dial to the Vent position, and turn the ignition switch ON (ll). Within six seconds after turning the igni-tion switch on, press the recirculation control switch the required number of times depending on the recirculation indicatorlight status:
.lftheindicatorlightisON,presstherecirculationcontrol switch five times..lftheindicatorlightisOFF,presstherecirculationcontrol switch six I|mes.The recirculation indicator light will come on for two seconds, then blink the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to indicate afaulty component. lf no DTC'S are found, the indicator light will not blink after the initial two second liqht.

Test
Dip the sensor in ice water, and measure the resistance
with a digital multimeter. Then pour hot water on the
sensor, and check lor change in resistance.
Compare the resistance reading between the No. | 8nd
No. 2 terminals of the evaporator temperature sensor
with the specifications shown in the following graph;
resistance should be within the specifications.

1.Disconnect the 3P connector from the oower tran-
st$or.
Carefully release the lock tab on the No. 2 terminal in
the 3P connector, then remove the terminal and insu-
late it from body ground.
Connect a 1.2 - 3.4 W bulb between the No, 1 and
the No,2 cavity on the 3P connectol
Reconnect the 3P connector to the power transistor.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). and check that the
blower motor runs.
a lf the blower motor runs at half soeed the oower
transistor is OK, replace the heater control panel.
. lf ths blower motor does not run at half soeed,
reDlaca the Dower transistor.

Replacement
Bemove the evaporator (see page 22-48),
Disconnect the connectors from the blower motor,
the blower motor high relay, the power transistor
and the recirculation control motor. Remove the
wire harness clio from the recirculation control
motor, and release the wire harness from the clamp
on the blower unit. Remove the mounting bolts, the
mounting nut and the blower unit.

Overhaul
Note these items when overhauling the blower unit.
. The recirculation contfol motor. the power transistor, the blower motor high relay, and the blower motor can be
replaced without removing the blower unit.
. Betore reassembly, makesurethatthe recirculation control doorand linkage move smoothly without binding.
o After reassembly, make sure the recirculation control motor runs smoothly (se€ page 22-42).
o Make sure that there is no air leakage.
