SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Thermo control amp. controls A/C compressor operation by intake air temperature and signal from ECM.
The defrost A/C switch controls A/C compressor operati on by the BCM when the mode switch is turned to the
(DEF) position.
Low Temperature Protection Control
When intake air temperatures are higher than 4 °C (39° F), the com-
pressor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when intake air tem-
peratures are lower than 2 °C (36° F).

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR ABNORMAL PRESSURE
Whenever system’s high and/or low side pressure(s) is/are abnormal, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The
marker above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (usual) pressure range. Since the
standard (usual) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to above table (Ambient air tempera-
ture-to-operating pressure table).

1. Condenser fins are clogged.
2. Improper fan rotation of cooling
fan. • Clean condenser.
• Check and repair cooling
fan if necessary.
• Low-pressure pipe is not cold.
• When compressor is
stopped high-pressure val-
ue quickly drops by approx-
imately 196 kPa (1.96 bar, 2
kg/cm
2 , 28 psi). It then de-
creases gradually thereaf-
ter. Poor heat exchange in condenser
(After compressor operation stops,
high-pressure decreases too slowly.).

1. Improper expansion valve
adjustment.
2. Malfunctioning expansion valve.
3. Outlet and inlet may be clogged. • Remove foreign particles by
using compressed air.
• Replace expansion valve.

An area of the low-pressure pipe
is colder than areas near the
evaporator outlet. Low-pressure pipe is clogged or
crushed.• Check and repair malfunc-
tioning parts.

SYMPTOM: Insufficient heating
INSPECTION FLOW
1.CONFIRM SYMPTOM BY PERFORMING OPERAT IONAL CHECK - TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1. Turn temperature control dial clockwise to maximum heat position.
2. Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.
Can the symptom be duplicated?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK FOR ANY SYMPTOMS
Perform a complete operational check for any symptoms. Refer to MTC-31, "
Operational Check" .
Does another symptom exist?
YES >> Refer to MTC-23, "How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair" .
NO >> System OK.
3.CHECK FOR SERVICE BULLETINS
Check for any service bulletins.
>> GO TO 4.
4.CHECK COOLANT SYSTEM
1. Check engine coolant level. Refer to CO-11, "
Inspection" (HR16DE) or CO-36, "Inspection" (MR18DE).
2. Check hoses for leaks or kinks.
3. Check Radiator cap. Refer to CO-14, "
Checking Radiator Cap" HR16DE or CO-39, "Checking Radiator
Cap" (MR18DE).

Gauge indication Refrigerant cycleProbable causeCorrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive. Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve’s pipe is frost-
ed or dewed.High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted.Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.
• If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the wa-
ter freezes causing a block-
age. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
• If due to foreign particles, re-
move expansion valve and
remove the particles with dry
and compressed air (not
shop air).
• If either of the above meth- ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion
valve.
• Replace liquid tank.
• Check oil for contamination.
