TOTAL DIAGNOSTIC
COMMUNICATION LINK (TDCL)
The TDCL is provided inside the cabin (located under the left side
instrument panel) as a connector exclusively for diagnosis of data
from the engine, ECT, ABS, A/C, Airbag and Cruise Control Sys-
tem to improve serviceability. The check connector inside the en-
gine compartment is used for engine adjustment.
Connecting the following terminals of the TDCL to terminal E1 se-
lects the diagnosis mode shown.
NOTICE: Never make a mistake with the terminal connection
position as this will cause a malfunction.

Refer to the respective system for the inspection method.
HINT: By connecting the TDCL up to a monitor specifically de-
signed for use with the TDCL, the diagnosis result for each system
can be read easily.

Check voltage between terminals TR and SG of air conditioner control
assembly connector.
(1) Remove console upper panel. (See page BO-111 )
(2) Remove A/C Control Assembly with connectors
still connected.
(3) Turn ignition switch ON.
Check voltage between terminals TAM and SG of air
conditioner control assembly connector at each tem-
perature.
Voltage
at 25°C (77°F) : 1.8~2.2 V
at 40°C (104°F) : 1.2~1.6 V
In addition, as the temperature increases, the
voltage decreases gradually.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
matrix chart (See page AC-36).However,
when Diag. code 11 is displayed, check and
replace air conditioner control assembly.
Check room temperature sensor.
(1) Remove instrument finish lower No. 1 panel.
(See page Be-103).
Resistance
at 25°C (77°F) : 1.6~1.8k

at 50°C (122°F) : 0.5~0.7k

In addition, as the temperature increases, the
voltage decreases gradually.
Replace room temperature sensor.
Check for open and short in harness and connector between air conditioner
control assembly and room temperature sensor (See page IN-27).
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Check and repair air conditioner control
assembly.
(2) Disconnect room0 temperature sensor
connector.
Check voltage between terminals 1 and 2 of
room temperature sensor connector at each tem±
perature.
