Self-diagnosis FunctionEJS004GT
DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnostic system diagnoses sensors, door motors, blower motor, etc. by system line.
Self-diagnosis is step-1 to 7. There are two ways of changing method during self-diagnosis.

Switching to self-diagnosis step-1 to 4.
Shifting from usual control to the self-diagnostic system is accomplished by starting the engine (turning
the ignition switch from OFF to ON) and pressing A/C switch for at least 5 seconds. The A/C switch must
be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned ON). This system will be
canceled by either pressing intake switch or turning the ignition switch OFF. Shifting from one step to
another is accomplished be means of turning fan control dial, as required.

Switching to self-diagnosis step-5 to 7 (Auxiliary mechanism).
Shifting from usual control to the self-diagnostic system is accomplished by starting the engine (turning
the ignition switch from OFF to ON) and pressing intake switch for at least 5 seconds. The intake switch
must be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned ON). This system
will be canceled by either pressing A/C switch or turning the ignition switch OFF. Shifting from one step to
another is accomplished by means of turning fan control dial, as required.

9. CHECK MALFUNCTIONING SENSOR
Refer to the following chart.
*1: Perform self-diagnosis STEP-2 under sunshine.
When performing indoors, aim a light (more than 60W) at sunload
sensor, otherwise LED of A/C switch will not indicate despite that
sunload sensor is functioning properly.
CAUTION:
When switched to STEP-2, LED of REC position blinks for
approximately 25 seconds.

Power Supply and Ground Circuit for Auto Amp.EJS004GV
SYMPTOM: A/C system does not come on.
INSPECTION FLOW
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Auto Amp. (Automatic Amplifier)
The auto amp. has a built-in microcomputer which processes infor-
mation sent from various sensors needed for air conditioner opera-
tion. The air mix door motor, mode door motor, intake door motor,
blower motor and compressor are then controlled.
The auto amp. is unitized with control mechanisms. Signals from
various switches and Potentio Temperature Control (PTC) are
directly entered into auto amp.
Self-diagnostic functions are also built into auto amp. to provide
quick check of malfunctions in the auto air conditioner system.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Mode door control system components are:

Auto amp.

Mode door motor (LCU)

A/C LAN system (PBR built-in air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor)

In-vehicle sensor

Ambient sensor

Sunload sensor

Intake sensor
System Operation
The auto amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The auto amp. sends air mix door, mode door and
intake door opening angle data to the air mix door motor LCU, mode door motor LCU and intake door motor
LCU.
The air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amp. and each of the motor position
sensors are compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subse-
quently, HOT/COLD or DEFROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The new selec-
tion data is returned to the auto amp.
