Self-diagnosis FunctionAJS0014P
DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnostic system diagnoses sensors, door motors, blower motor, etc. by system line. Refer to appli-
cable sections (items) for details. Shifting from usual control to the self-diagnostic system is accomplished by
starting the engine (turning the ignition switch ON) and pressing OFF switch for at least 5 seconds. The OFF
switch must be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned ON). This system
will be canceled by either pressing AUTO switch or turning the ignition switch OFF. Shifting from one step to
another is accomplished by means of pressing temperature switch (driver side), as required.
Additionally shifting from STEP-5 to AUXILIARY MECHANISM is accomplished by means of pressing (fan)
UP switch.

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

Press temperature (UP) switch (driver side).
Advance to self
-diagnosis STEP-3?

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).
