      Efficient Ventilation Mode

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Efficient Ventilation Mode is set to "OFF" A
      Efficient Ventilation Mode is set to "ON" B

    Result: 

    CUSTOMIZE SETTING (Efficient Ventilation Mode to "OFF") 

    Result: 

    See step  3

  3. READ VALUE USING GTS 
    1. Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.

      Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Data List 

      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Ambient Temperature Sensor Ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) -327.68 to 327.67°C Actual ambient temperature displayed Ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) circuit malfunction

      Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Ambient Temperature Sensor

      OK

      The value of the display does not change frequently.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    GO TO OTHER DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE (Ambient Temperature Display System). Refer to  Ambient Temperature Display System [11/2021 - ]  

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. READ VALUE USING GTS (COOLANT TEMPERATURE) 
    1. Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.

      Powertrain > Engine > Data List 

      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Coolant Temperature Engine coolant temperature Min.: -40°C (-40°F)
      Max.: 140°C (284°F)
      75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F): After warming up This is the engine coolant temperature.

      HINT: 

      • After warming up the engine, the engine coolant temperature will be 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F).
      • After a long soak, the engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient air temperature will be approximately equal.
      • If the value is -40°C (-40°F), or higher than 135°C (275°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.
      • Check if the engine overheats if the value indicated is higher than 135°C (275°F).

      Powertrain > Engine > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Coolant Temperature

      OK

      The value of the display does not change frequently.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    GO TO COOLING SYSTEM. Refer to  ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE 
    1. Install a manifold gauge set.

      Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [11/2021 - ]

    2. Prepare the vehicle according to the table below.
      MEASUREMENT CONDITION:

      Item Condition
      Doors Fully open
      A/C Switch On
      Recirculation/fresh Control Switch Recirculation
      Set Temperature MAX COLD
      Blower Speed HI
      Air Conditioning Air Inlet Temperature 25 to 35°C (77 to 95°F)
    3. Compare the values displayed in the Data List and on the manifold gauge.

      Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Data List 

      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Regulator Pressure Sensor Air conditioning pressure sensor -32.768 to 32.767 MPaG Actual refrigerant pressure displayed
      • Refrigerant line (gas leak etc.)
      • Air conditioning pressure sensor circuit malfunction

      Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Regulator Pressure Sensor

      OK

      The values displayed in the Data List and on the manifold gauge match.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    INSPECT REFRIGERANT PRESSURE WITH MANIFOLD GAUGE SET. Refer to  ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING PRESSURE SENSOR. Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2021 - ]
