TESTING FOR “SHORTS” IN THE CIRCUIT
To simplify the discussion of shorts in the system, please refer to the following schematic.
Resistance Check Method
• Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
• Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through the fuse.
• Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a known
good ground.
• With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point A).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
• Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity.
continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
• Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wir e. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a
known good ground. Then, check for continuity.
continuity; short is between relay and solenoid (point C).
no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.
Voltage Check Method
• Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i .e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid discon-
nected) powered through the fuse.
• Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Veri fy battery voltage at the battery + side of the fuse ter-
minal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a known good ground).
• With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage.
voltage; short is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
• With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and t he DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for
voltage.
voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no voltage; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
• With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C).
no voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
GROUND INSPECTION
• Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits. Ground
connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and ot her corrosive elements. The corrosion (rust) can
become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted re sistance can change the way a circuit works.
• Electronically controlled circuits are very sens itive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground can
drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect the circuit.
Even when the ground connection looks clean, there c an be a thin film of rust on the surface.

Note in the illustration that there is an excessi ve 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
Measuring Voltage Drop — Step-by-Step
• The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such as those
in “Computer Controlled Systems”).
• Circuits in the “Computer Controll ed System” operate on very low amperage.
• The (Computer Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation, improper wire
gauge or corrosion.
• The step by step voltage drop test can identify a component or wire with too much resistance.
CONTROL UNIT CIRCUIT TEST

ALIIA0599ZZ
Component Description
A/C auto amp. A/C auto amp. controls front automatic air conditioning system by inputting and calculating signals
from each sensor and each switch.
A/C Compressor Vaporized refrigerant is drawn into the A/C compressor from the evaporator, where it is compressed
to a high pressure, high temperature vapor. The hot, compressed vapor is then discharged to the con-
denser.
A/C switch assembly The A/C switch assembly controls the operation of the A/C and heating system based on inputs from
the temperature control knob, the mode switches, the blower control dial, the ambient temperature
sensor, the intake sensor, and inputs received from the ECM across the CAN. Diagnosis of the A/C
switch assembly can be performed using the CONSULT. There is no self-diagnostic feature available.
Air mix door motor LH The air mix door controls the mix of hot or cold air that enters the ventilation system. It is controlled
by the A/C auto amp. based on the position of the temperature dial. The air mix door motor LH re-
ceives position commands from the A/C auto amp. and reports actual door position back via an LCU
(Local Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands and responses are sent across the LIN (Lo-
cal Interconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously, with each motor having its own unique ad-
dress, thereby only responding to requests sent to its specific address. The LCU reads the door
position from a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of the motor, and returns that information
to the A/C auto amp. The LCU switches the polarity of the circuits connected to the DC motor to drive
the motor forward or backward as requested by the A/C auto amp. If the air mix door moves to a po-
sition less than 5% or more than 95% of its expected or allowed positions, the A/C auto amp. will set
a DTC.

Air mix door motor RH The air mix door controls the mix of hot or cold air that enters the ventilation system. It is controlled
by the A/C auto amp. based on the position of the temperature dial. The air mix door motor RH re-
ceives position commands from the A/C auto amp. and reports actual door position back via an LCU
(Local Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands and responses are sent across the LIN (Lo-
cal Interconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously, with each motor having its own unique ad-
dress, thereby only responding to requests sent to its specific address. The LCU reads the door
position from a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of the motor, and returns that information
to the A/C auto amp. The LCU switches the polarity of the circuits connected to the DC motor to drive
the motor forward or backward as requested by the A/C auto amp. If the air mix door moves to a po-
sition less than 5% or more than 95% of its expected or allowed positions, the A/C auto amp. will set
a DTC.
Ambient sensor The ambient sensor measures the temperature of the air surrounding the vehicle. The sensor uses a
thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor
decreases as temperature increases.
BCM The BCM receives the fan ON and A/C ON signals from the A/C auto amp. and sends a compressor
ON request to the ECM.
Blower motor The blower motor varies the speed at which the air flows through the ventilation system.
ECM The ECM sends a compressor ON request to the IPDM E/R based on the status of engine operation
and load as well as refrigerant pressure information. If all the conditions are met for A/C operation,
the ECM transmits the compressor ON request to the IPDM E/R. The ECM shares the refrigerant
pressure sensor signal, engine RPM, and engine coolant temperature with the A/C auto amp. via
CAN communication line.
Front blower motor relay The front blower motor relay controls the flow of current to fuse 17 and 27 in the Fuse Block (J/B).
The relay is connected directly to ground, and is energized when the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position.
Fuse Block (J/B) Located in the passenger compartment, behind the left lower IP, the Fuse Block (J/B) contains the
front blower motor relay and several fuses required for the air conditioner control system.
Intake door motor The intake door motor controls the position of the intake door. Fresh air is allowed to enter the cabin
in one position, and recirculated inside air is allowed to enter in the other position. At times the A/C
auto amp. may command partial fresh or recirculation based on evaporator or coolant temperatures.
The intake door motor receives position commands from the A/C auto amp. and reports actual door
position back via an LCU (Local Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands and responses
are sent across the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously, with each motor
having its own unique address, thereby only responding to requests sent to its specific address. The
LCU reads the door position from a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of the motor, and re-
turns that information to the A/C auto amp. The LCU switches the polarity of the circuits connected to
the DC motor to drive the motor forward or backward as requested by the A/C auto amp. If the recir-
culation door moves to a position less than 5% or more than 95% of its expected or allowed positions,
the A/C auto amp. will set a DTC.
Intake sensor The intake sensor measures the temperature of the front evaporator fins. The sensor uses a ther-
mistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor de-
creases as temperature increases.
In-vehicle sensor In-vehicle sensor measures temperature of intake air that flows through aspirator to passenger room.
The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resis-
tance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
IPDM E/R Refer to PCS-6, "RELAY CONTROL SYSTEM : System Description"
.
Mode door motor The mode door controls the direction the conditioned air passes through the ventilation system.
Through a series of levers and gears, the mode door controls the defrost door, the foot door, and the
vent door. There are 5 preset positions: VENT, B/L, FOOT, D/F, and DEF. The FOOT position can be
set to allow some airflow through to the defroster vent, or to completely block the defroster vent using
the CONSULT. The mode door motor receives position commands from the A/C auto amp. and re-
ports actual door position back via an LCU (Local Control Unit) installed inside the motor. Commands
and responses are sent across the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) to each motor simultaneously,
with each motor having its own unique address, thereby only responding to requests sent to its spe-
cific address. The LCU reads the door position from a Position Balanced Resistor (PBR), also part of
the motor, and returns that information to the A/C auto amp. The LCU switches the polarity of the cir-
cuits connected to the DC motor to drive the motor forward or backward as requested by the A/C auto
amp. The mode door has 5 expected positions and, therefore, can set up to 5 DTCs if the expected
position is not reported back to the A/C auto amp.

Air Outlet Control
INFOID:0000000009463097
• While air outlet is in automatic control, A/C auto amp. selects the mode door position depending on a target air mix door angle and
outlet air temperature calculated from sunload.
• If ambient temperature is excessively low, D/F is selected to pre- vent windshield fogging when air outlet is set to FOOT.
Compressor ControlINFOID:0000000009463098
DESCRIPTION
• When the compressor activation condition is satisfied whil e blower motor is activated, A/C auto amp. trans-
mits A/C ON signal and blower fan ON signal to ECM via CAN communication.
• ECM judges that the compressor can be activated depending on the state of each sensor (refrigerant pres-
sure sensor signal and others) and transmits A/C comp ressor request signal to IPDM E/R via CAN commu-
nication.
• IPDM E/R turns A/C relay ON and activate s the compressor depending on request from ECM.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION CONTROL AT PRESSURE MALFUNCTION
When high-pressure side value that is detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is as per the following state,
ECM requests IPDM E/R to turn A/C relay OFF and stops the compressor.
• 3.12 MPa (31.82 kg/cm
2, 452.4 psi) or more (When the engine speed is less than 1,500 rpm)
• 2.74 MPa (27.95 kg/cm
2, 397.3 psi) or more (When the engine speed is 1,500 rpm or more)
• 0.14 MPa (1.43 kg/cm
2, 20.3 psi) or less
COMPRESSOR OIL CIRCULATION CONTROL
When the engine starts while the engine coolant temperature is 56 °C (133 °F) or less, ECM activates the com-
pressor for approximately 6 seconds and circulates the compressor lubricant once.
LOW TEMPERATURE PROTECTION CONTROL
• When intake sensor detects that front evaporator fin temperature is 2.5 °C (37 °F) or less, A/C auto amp. requests ECM to turn com-
pressor OFF, and stops the compressor.
• When the front evaporator fin temperature returns to 5.0 °C (41 °F)
or more, the compressor is activated.
OPERATING RATE CONTROL
When set temperature is other than fully cold or air out let is “VENT”, “B/L” or “FOOT” A/C auto amp. controls
the compressor activation depending on ambient temperature.
AIR CONDITIONING CUT CONTROL
When set engine is running is excessively high load conditi on, ECM requests IPDM E/R to turn A/C relay OFF,
and stops the compressor. Refer to EC-56, "AIR CONDITIONING CUT CONT ROL : System Description (with
automatic air conditioner)" (QR25DE) or EC-573, "AIR CONDITIONING CUT CONTROL : System Descrip-
tion" (VQ35DE) for details.
