SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A/C auto amp. controls A/C compressor operation by ambient temperature and signal from ECM.
Low Temperature Protection Control A/C auto amp. will turn the A/C compressor ON or OFF as determined by a signal detected by ambient sensor.
When ambient temperature is greater than 4C (39F), the A/C compressor turns ON. The A/C compressor turns OFF when ambient temperature is less than 2.5C (37F).
Component Function Check
1.FUNCTION INSPECTIONS
Diagnosis Procedure
SYMPTOM: Magnet clutch does not engage when A/C switch is ON.
1.INSPECTION IN AUTO ACTIVE TEST MODE
Perform "AUTO ACTIVE TEST".
2.CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR A/C COMPRESSOR
3.CHECK FUSE
Check 10A fuse (No. 41).
4.CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN A/C RELAY IN IPDM E/R AND A/C COMPRESSOR
1 - 48: Continuity should exist.
5.CHECK A/C COMPRESSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT
Check continuity between A/C compressor harness connector F3 terminal 1 and ground.
1 - Ground: Continuity should not exist.
6.CHECK WITH SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION OF CONSULT
NOTE: If DTC is displayed along with DTC U1000 or U1010, first diagnose the DTC U1000 or U1010.
7.CHECK A/C AUTO AMP. INPUT SIGNAL
Using CONSULT, check "On/Off" of "COMP REQ SIG" and "FAN REQ SIG" in "DATA MONITOR" of HVAC.
A/C SWITCH ON: COMP REQ SIG On
A/C SWITCH OFF: COMP REQ SIG Off
FAN CONTROL DIAL ON: FAN REQ SIG On
FAN CONTROL DIAL OFF: FAN REQ SIG Off
8.CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
Check refrigerant pressure sensor.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including the
spare) often and always prior to long distance
trips. The recommended tire pressure
specifications are shown on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label
or the Tire and Loading Information label
under the Cold Tire Pressure heading.
The Tire and ...
