Trouble Diagnoses with CONSULT (Cont'd)
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS RECORD
If a malfunction has occurred but is not recorded on seif-diagnosis,
it may be caused by some past malfunction. In such a case, past
malfunctions can be found
by selecting "TROUBLE DlAG
RECORD" in Diagnosis mode.
The "TROUBLE DlAG RECORD" can be selected for SRS air
bag system only.

Self-diagnosis
The diagnosis modes are User mode and Diagnosis mode.
Switching between the two modes is accomplished by using
ignition switch
and driver door switch.
When lamp is not flashing (indicating no malfunction) in User mode, operating the door switch cannot change
the mode to Diagnosis mode.
When no malfunction is detected in Diagnosis mode, turning the ignition switch from "OFF" to "ON" changes
the mode to User mode. SRB0395D

FULLY AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER
System Description
The fully automatic air conditioner system utilizes sensors to detect the in-vehicle temperature, ambient
temperature, temperature of air passing through the evaporator, and
sunload. The detected values are
compared with the temperature adjustment dial setting, and calculated by the microcomputer within the
automatic amplifier. The air inlet and outlet temperatures and airflow rate are adjusted in order to main-
@ tain the in-vehicle temperature.
When an abnormal pressure occurs within the cooler cycle [gauge pressure: approx.
2.7 MPa (28 kg/
cm2G)
or higher; or approx. 0.18
MPa
(1.8
kg/cm2-G)
or lower] the refrigerant pressure sensor operates,
Ec
and stops the compressor.
The
ECM turns off the air conditioner relay, and stops the compressor during engine high load.
The blower fan motor utilizes
a brushless motor, and controls the airflow with a built-in IC that recognizes AT
the driver signal (pulse) from the automatic amplifier.
Step-motor type actuators are employed for intake door, mode door, and air mix door. They are rotated in
response to the signal (pulse) step quantity transmitted from the automatic amplifier to control the target
BR
door position.

Trouble Diagnosis by Self-diagnosis Function
There are 5 steps in the self-diagnosis: to check for any sensor failure, and to check that a given control sig-
nal is transmitted to each output device.
