Water Valve CircuitEJS003Y1
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Water Valve
The water valve (1) cuts the flow of engine coolant to the front and
rear heater cores to allow for maximum cooling during A/C opera-
tion. It is controlled by the front air control.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR WATER VALVE
1. CHECK WATER VALVE POWER AND GROUND CIRCUITS
1. Disconnect water valve connector F68.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Rotate temperature control dial (driver) to 32 °C (90 °F).
4. Check voltage between water valve harness connector F68 ter- minal 1 and terminal 2 while rotating temperature control dial
(driver) to 16 °C (60 °F).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK WATER VALVE CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect front air control connector M50.
3. Check continuity between water valve harness connector F68 (A) terminal 1 and front air control harness connector M50 (B)
terminal 29.
4. Check continuity between water valve harness connector F68 (A) terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace front air control. Refer to ATC-144, "FRONT AIR CONTROL" .
NG >> Repair harness or connector.

Ambient Sensor CircuitEJS003Y2
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor is attached on the radiator core support (left
side). It detects ambient temperature and converts it into a value
which is then input into the front air control.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The front air control includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the tempera-
ture detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the front air control func-
tion. It only allows the front air control to recognize an ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6 °F) per 100
seconds.
This prevents constant adjustments due to momentary conditions, such as stopping after high speed driving.
Although the actual ambient temperature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor
will increase. This is because the heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area, loca-
tion of the ambient sensor.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AMBIENT SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Ambient sensor circuit is open or shorted. Using the
CONSULT-II, DTC B257B or B257C is displayed. Without a CON-
SULT-II, code 40 or 41 is indicated on front air control as a result of
conducting the front air control self-diagnosis.
1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN AMBIENT SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect ambient sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between ambient sensor harness connector E1 terminal 1 and ground.

OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 4.
