SELF-DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
The self-diagnosis system is built into the front air control to quickly locate the cause of malfunctions.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The self-diagnosis system diagnosis sensors, door motors, blower motor, etc. by system line. Refer to applicable items for details. Shifting from normal control to the self-diagnosis system is accomplished by starting the engine (pressing the ignition switch to the ON position) and pressing OFF switch for at least 5 seconds. The OFF switch must be pressed within 10 seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is pressed to the ON position). This system will be canceled by either pressing AUTO switch or pressing the ignition switch OFF. Shifting from one step is accomplished by means of turning temperature control dial (LH side), as required.
Shifting from STEP-5 to AUXILIARY MECHANISM is accomplished by turning the LH temperature control dial clockwise or counterclockwise.
CONFIRMATION METHOD 1.SET IN SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
Press ignition switch ON.
Set in self-diagnosis mode as follows. Within 10 seconds after starting engine (ignition switch is pressed ON.), press OFF switch for at least 5 seconds.
NOTE:
If battery voltage drops below 12 V during diagnosis STEP-3, door motor speed becomes slower and as a result, the system may generate an error even when operation is normal. To avoid this, start engine before performing this diagnosis.
Former STEP-1 (LEDs and display screen are checked) does not exist in this self-diagnosis function. >> GO TO 2
2.STEP-2: SENSOR CIRCUITS ARE CHECKED FOR OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT
Does code No. 20 appear on the display?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> GO TO 12 3.CHECK TO ADVANCE SELF-DIAGNOSIS STEP-3
Turn temperature control dial (LH) clockwise.
Advance to self-diagnosis STEP-3?
YES >> GO TO 4
NO >> Replace front air control. (Temperature control dial is malfunctioning.) Refer to See: Control Module HVAC\Service and Repair. 4.CHECK TO RETURN SELF-DIAGNOSIS STEP-2
Turn temperature control dial (LH) counterclockwise.
Return to self-diagnosis STEP-2?
YES >> GO TO 5
NO >> Malfunctioning front air control. Refer to See: Control Module HVAC\Service and Repair. 5.STEP-3: MODE DOOR AND INTAKE DOOR POSITIONS ARE CHECKED
Turn temperature control dial (LH) clockwise.
Does code No. 30 appear on the display?
YES >> GO TO 6
NO >> GO TO 13 6.STEP-4: OPERATION OF EACH DOOR MOTOR IS CHECKED
Turn temperature control dial (LH side) clockwise.
Press (DEF) switch. Code No. of each door motor test is indicated on the display. >> GO TO 7
7.CHECK ACTUATORS
Refer to the following chart and check discharge air flow, air temperature, blower motor duty ratio and compressor operation.
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 8
NO >>
Press (DEF) switch one time. Temperature detected by ambient sensor is indicated on the display.
NOTE:
If the temperature indicated on the display greatly differs from the actual temperature, check sensor circuit first, and then check sensor.
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 10
NO >> Go to Ambient Sensor Circuit. Refer to See: Component Tests and General Diagnostics\Ambient Sensor\Diagnosis Procedure. 10.CHECK IN-VEHICLE SENSOR
Press (DEF) switch for the second time. Temperature detected by in-vehicle sensor is indicated on the display.
NOTE:
If the temperature indicated on the display greatly differs from the actual temperature, check sensor circuit first, and then check sensor.
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 11
NO >> Go to In-vehicle Sensor Circuit. Refer to See: Component Tests and General Diagnostics\In-Vehicle Sensor\Diagnosis Procedure. 11.CHECK INTAKE SENSOR
Press (DEF) switch for the third time. Temperature detected by intake sensor is indicated on the display.
NOTE:
If the temperature indicated on the display greatly differs from the actual temperature, check sensor circuit first, and then check sensor.
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 12
NO >> Go to Intake Sensor Circuit. Refer to See: Component Tests and General Diagnostics\Intake Sensor\Diagnosis Procedure. 12.CHECK MALFUNCTIONING SENSOR AND DOOR MOTOR
Refer to the following chart for malfunctioning code No.
(If two or more sensors and door motors malfunction, corresponding code Nos. indicates 1 second each.)
(If two door motors malfunction, corresponding code Nos. indicates 0.5 second each.)
*1: Perform self-diagnosis STEP-2 under sunshine.
When performing indoors, aim a light (more than 60W) at sunload sensor, otherwise code No. 25 will indicate despite that sunload sensor is functioning properly.
NOTE:
Code 20 will be displayed if all sensor s and PBR(s) are OK.
>> Inspection End 13.CHECK MALFUNCTIONING DOOR MOTOR POSITION SWITCH
Mode and/or intake door motor PBR(s) is/are malfunctioning.
NOTE:
Code 30 will be displayed if all doors are OK.
