Abnormal: The last digit of the display code flashes for a malfunc-
tioning sensor. At this time, if a short-circuit
is detected,
"AUTO is displayed. Furthermore, when there are more
than one malfunctioning sensor, the corresponding dis-
play codes flash twice starting with the smaller code.
The sunload sensor will judge an abnormality when there is
insufficient lighting (less than 5,000 lx) such as while being
placed indoor or during the evening.

When a open-circuit failure is displayed for all four terminals of
each actuator, there is a possibility of a disconnected
connector, or broken harness of the actuator driver power
SOU rce.
The self-diagnosis cannot detect short-circuit between actua-
tor driver signals, but the actuators will vibrate when actuated.
Step 4 - Each output device check
Display shows "41" in the step 4 mode. When the DEF switch is
pushed it switches from
42-343+44+45-+46-,41. As indicated in
the following table, the automatic amplifier forcefully outputs to
each actuator, blower fan motor, and compressor in response
to
the display code. Confirm and check each output operation status
by observing, listening to the operating sound, placing hand at the
air outlet, or using other methods.
The operation status of each actuator, blower fan motor, and
1
compressor cannot be confirmed on the display.

Disconnect the compressor connector. Apply approx. 12V to the compressor to check the magnet clutch
operation.

AIR CONDITIONER RELAY QJg
Remove the air conditioner relay. Apply approx. 12V between the air conditioner relay terminals No. 1 and
2. Check the relay operation sound. Ec Check the continuity between terminals No. 3 and 5.
REFRIGERANT CHARGE AMOUNT AT
Connect the manifold gauge to the vehicle side service valve.
Check that the lower pressure side (gauge pressure) is more than approx. 0.1 8 MPa (1.8 kg/cm2.G). BR
ECM
Start the engine, and short-circuit the ECM terminal No. 14 to the ground. Check the magnet clutch operation.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Start the engine, and short-circuit the intake air temperature sensor terminal No. 1 to the ground. Check the Rs
maanet clutch o~eration.
Blower Fan Motor System Check
BLOWER FAN MOTOR
Disconnect the blower fan motor connector. Short-circuit the blower fan motor terminals No. 2 and 5 to El!, (
the ground. Apply approx. 12V to the terminal No. 6, and check the motor operation.
Connect the blower fan motor connector. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and change the fan sD
switch from 1st to 4th. Check the blower fan motor terminal No. 5 with an oscilloscope. When the termi-
nal No.
5 is normal according to the following table and the fan airflow does not change, this indicates a
faulty blower fan motor.
When the terminal No.
5 results differ from the following table and the fan airflow does not change, this
indicates either a faulty harness between the blower fan motor and automatic amplifier, or a faulty auto-
matic amplifier.
