Inspection procedure 2
Air conditioner does not operate.
Probable cause
If the A/C does not operate when the A/C switch is on and the temperature
setting is at 17C, the cause is probably insufficient refrigerant, or a
malfunction of the blower or of the magnet clutch power supply.

operation of the air mix damper. The MUT-II can be used to check the
diagnosis codes in order to check the cause of the problem for each separate
system.
