Diagnostic Procedure

NO WARM AIRFLOW FROM VENT DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Inspection Results Action
1 VERIFY DTCs 
  • Perform the DTC inspection for the following modules. (See DTC INSPECTION .)
    • PCM
    • Dash-electrical supply unit
  • Are any DTCs displayed?

  • Does air flow from the vents after operating the blower motor?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Perform malfunction diagnosis according to [AMOUNT OF AIR BLOWN FROM VENTS DOES NOT CHANGE].
(See AMOUNT OF AIR BLOWN FROM VENTS DOES NOT CHANGE .)
3 VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION IS CAUSED BY ENGINE OVERCOOLING 
  • Access the PCM PID [ECT] using the M-MDS. (See PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION .)
  • Warm up the engine while idling.
  • Is the monitoring value 80°C {176°F} or more?
