Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK FUSE 

    Check 10A fuse [No. 3, located in the fuse block (J/B)].

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 2.

    NO: Replace the fuse after repairing the applicable circuit.

  2. CHECK ECV POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect the ECV connector.
    3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    4. Check voltage between the ECV harness connector and ground.
      (+) (-) Voltage
      ECV -
      Connector Terminal
      F44 2 Ground Battery voltage

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO 3.

      NO: Repair the harnesses or connectors.

  3. CHECK ECV CONTROL SIGNAL 
    1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
    2. Connect the ECV connector.
    3. Perform the self-diagnosis STEP-4 (Code No. 45). Refer to "WITHOUT ACCS: DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION " (WITHOUT ACCS) or "WITH ACCS: DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION " (WITH ACCS).
    4. Check output waveform between the unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector and ground with the oscilloscope.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: Replace the compressor.

      NO: GO TO 4.

  4. CHECK CONTINUITY BETWEEN ECV AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. 
    1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect the ECV connector.
    3. Disconnect the unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
    4. Check continuity between the ECV harness connector and unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector.
