Operational Check
The purpose of the operational check is to con®rm that the system
operates properly.
CONDITIONS
+Engine running and at normal operating temperature.
PROCEDURE
1. Check memory function
a. Set the temperature 25ÉC.
b. Press OFF switch.
c. Turn the ignition off.
d. Turn the ignition on.
e. Press the AUTO switch.
f. Con®rm that the set temperature remains at previous tempera-
ture.
g. Press OFF switch.
2. Check blower
a. Press fan switch one time.
Blower should operate on low speed.
The fan symbol should have one blade lit
.
b. Press fan switch one more time, and continue checking blower
speed and fan symbol until all speeds are checked.
c. Leave blower on MAX speed
.
3. Check discharge air
a. Press mode switch four times and DEF button.

b. Con®rm that discharge air comes out according to the air dis-
tribution table at left.
Refer to ``Discharge Air Flow'' (HA-13).
NOTE:
Con®rm that the compressor clutch is engaged (visualinspec-
tion) and intake door position is at FRESH when the DEF
is selected.
Intake door position is checked in the next step.
4. Check recirculation
a. Press RECswitch.
Recirculation indicator should illuminate.
b. Listen for intake door position change (you should hear blower
sound change slightly).
5. Check temperature dial
a. Turn temperature dial counterclockwise until 18ÉC is displayed.
b. Check for cold air at discharge air outlets.
c. Turn temperature dial clockwise until 32ÉC is displayed.
d. Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.

6. Check AUTO mode
a. Press AUTO switch.
b. Display should indicate AUTO.
Con®rm that the compressor clutch engages (audio or visual
inspection).
(Discharge air and blower speed will depend on ambient,
in-vehicle, and set temperatures.)
7. Check FRESH switch
a. Press FRE switch.
FRESH indicator should illuminate.
b. Listen for intake door position change. (You should hear a slight
change in blower sound.)
8. Check A/C switch
a. Press A/C switch.
A/C indicator should illuminate.
b. Con®rm that the compressor clutch is engaged.

*1: HA-74 *2: HA-70
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Automatic ampli®er (Auto amp.)
The auto ampli®er has a built-in microcomputer which processes
information sent from various sensors needed for air conditioner
operation. The air mix door motor, mode door motor, intake door
motor, blower motor and compressor are then controlled.
The auto ampli®er is unitized with control mechanisms. Signals
from various switches and Potentio Temperature Control (PTC) are
directly entered into auto ampli®er.
Self-diagnostic functions are also built into auto ampli®er to provide
quick check of malfunctions in the auto air conditioner system.
Potentio temperature control (PTC)
The PTC is built into the A/C auto amp. It can be set at an interval
of 1ÉC in the 18ÉC to 32ÉC temperature range by turning the tem-
perature dial. The set temperature is digitally displayed.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component parts
Mode door control system components are:
1) Auto amp.
2) Mode door motor (LCU)
3) In-vehicle sensor
4) Ambient sensor
5) Sunload sensor
6) Intake sensor
System operation
The auto ampli®er receives data from each of the sensors. The ampli®er sends air mix door and mode door
opening angle data to the air mix door motor LCU and mode door motor LCU.
The air mix door motor and mode door motor read their respective signals according to the address signal.
Opening angle indication signals received from the auto ampli®er and each of the motor position sensors are
compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently, HOT/
COLD or DEFROST/VENT operation is selected. The new selection data is returned to the auto ampli®er.

Mode door control speci®cation
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The mode door motor is attached to the heater unit. It rotates so
that air is discharged from the outlet set by the auto ampli®er. Motor
rotation is conveyed to a link which activates the mode door.
CONTROL LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
Mode door
1. Install mode door motor on heater unit and connect it to main
harness.
2. Set up code No.
in Self-diagnosis STEP 4. Refer to HA-67.
3. Move side link by hand and hold mode door in DEF mode.
4. Make sure mode door operates properly when changing from
code No.
