FUNCTION CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1. SET IN SELF-DIAGNOSTIC MODE
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Set in self-diagnostic mode as follows. Within 10 seconds after starting engine (ignition switch is turned
ON.), press OFF switch for at least 5 seconds.
CAUTION:

If battery voltage drops below 12V during diagnosis STEP-3, actuator speed becomes slower and
as a result, the system may generate an error even when operation is usual. To avoid this, start
engine before performing this diagnosis.

Former STEP-1 (LEDs and display screen are checked) does not exist in this self-diagnosis func-
tion.
>> GO TO 2.
2. STEP-2: SENSOR CIRCUITS ARE CHECKED FOR OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT
Does code No. 20 appear on the display?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 13.
3. CHECK TO ADVANCE SELF-DIAGNOSIS STEP-3
Press temperature (UP) switch (driver side).
Advance to self
-diagnosis STEP-3?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Malfunctioning OFF switch or unified meter and A/C amp. Refer to ATC-102, "
Self-diagnosis" .
4. CHECK TO RETURN SELF-DIAGNOSIS STEP-2
Press temperature (DOWN) switch (driver side).
Return to self
-diagnosis STEP-2?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Replace A/C and AV switch. Temperature switch malfunctions.
5. STEP-3: MODE DOOR AND INTAKE DOOR POSITIONS ARE CHECKED
Press temperature (UP) switch (driver side).
Does code No. 30 appear on the display?
YES >> GO TO 6.

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 driver.
Operating procedures for this trimmer are as follows:
1. Begin Self-diagnosis STEP-5 mode. Refer to AT C - 5 3 , "
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.
4. Press temperature 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, trimmer operation is canceled. Temperature set becomes that of initial
condition, i.e. 0°C (0°F).

Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side sometimes
becomes negative.

Air conditioning system
does not function and does
not cyclically cool the com-
partment air.

The system constantly func-
tions for a certain period of
time after compressor is
stopped and restarted.Refrigerant does not dis-
charge cyclically.
↓
Moisture is frozen at expan-
sion valve outlet and inlet.
↓
Water is mixed with refriger-
ant.

Drain water from refrigerant
or replace refrigerant.

Replace liquid tank.
AC354A
Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive.
Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve′s pipe is
frosted or dewed.High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted.Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.

If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the
water freezes causing a
blockage. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.

If due to foreign particles,
remove expansion valve
and remove the particles
with dry and compressed air
(not shop air).

If either of the above meth-
ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion
valve.

Replace liquid tank.

Check lubricant for contami-
nation.

Removal and InstallationAJS0015D
REMOVAL
1. Set the temperature at 18°C (60°F), and then disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge refrigerant.
3. Remove the mounting bolt, and then remove the low-pressure pipe 2 and high-pressure pipe 3. Refer to
ATC-151, "
Removal and Installation of Low-pressure Pipe 2 and High-pressure Pipe 3" .
CAUTION:
Seal connection opening of piping with a cap or vinyl tape to avoid exposure to atmosphere.
4. Slide the evaporator to passenger side, and then remove the
intake sensor.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings for A/C piping with new ones. Before installing, apply compressor oil to them.

Connection point for female-side piping is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not
to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert in axial direction.

Insert one-touch joint connection point securely until it clicks.

After piping has been connected, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure piping does not
come off.

When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
