Diagnostic procedure

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION

Step INSPECTION ACTION
1 INSPECT AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR CONNECTOR Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair/replace the connector or terminal.
After repair procedure, go to Step 6.
2 INSPECT AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR Yes Go to the next step.
No Replace the airflow mode actuator. (See AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR REMOVAL [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER] .)
(See AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR INSTALLATION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER] .)
Go to Step 6.
3 VERIFY CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR CONDITION Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair/replace the connector or terminal.
After repair procedure, go to Step 6.
4 INSPECT AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR (POTENTIOMETER) CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
  • Climate control unit and airflow mode actuator connectors are disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Climate control unit terminal 1C-airflow mode actuator terminal B
    • Climate control unit terminal 1B-airflow mode actuator terminal C
      • Climate control unit terminal 1Q-airflow mode actuator terminal A
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between climate control unit terminal and airflow mode actuator terminal.
If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:

  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 6.
5 INSPECT AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR (POTENTIOMETER) CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
  • Climate control unit and airflow mode actuator connectors are disconnected.
  • Connect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).
  • Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Climate control unit terminal 1C
    • Climate control unit terminal 1B
      • Climate control unit terminal 1Q
  • Is the voltage 0 V?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between climate control unit terminal and airflow mode actuator terminal.
If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:

  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to the next step.
6 VERIFY THAT SAME DTC IS NOT OUTPUT AGAIN Yes Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
Go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
7 VERIFY THAT NO OTHER DTCs ARE PRESENT
  • Verify other DTCs displayed.
  • Are any other DTCs displayed?
Yes Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
(See DTC TABLE [CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT (FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER)] .)
No DTC troubleshooting completed.
