HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING  AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM(for Gasoline Model)  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  


NOTICE:
·

Use the table below to help determine the cause of problem symptoms. If multiple suspected areas are listed, the potential causes of the symptoms are listed in order of probability in the "Suspected Area" column of the table. Check each symptom by checking the suspected areas in the order they are listed. Replace parts as necessary.

·

Inspect the fuses and relays related to this system before inspecting the suspected areas below.

·

The air conditioning system uses the CAN communication system. First, confirm that there is no malfunction in the CAN communication system. Refer to the How to Proceed with Troubleshooting procedure.

·

Perform the inspection when the vehicle is at ambient temperature. If this is not done, there could be a risk of injury depending on the location being inspected.

·

If the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) or electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is replaced, refer to Service Bulletin.

·

If the following system is operated when the auxiliary battery voltage is low, due to the electrical load limit control that gives voltage supply priority to the power steering system, the following system may not operate. In this case, check the vehicle control history of the power steering system and check that "Battery Voltage Drop: X208F" is not stored before proceeding with troubleshooting.

VEHICLE CHECK ITEMS


HINT:
·

You can reduce the number of systems to check by using the results of the following operation check.

·

Perform the following checks based on Customer Feedback and the vehicle condition.

·

The customer's opinion may not be consistent with the actual problem (eg: the cooling performance of the air conditioner is bad → actually, the wind volume is weak). It is important to check the problem symptoms accurately and judge correctly based on various sources of information.

·

Judgment as to whether the air conditioner panel is normal or abnormal can be judged by checking if the indicator illuminates or turns off when the switch is operated.

·

During servo motor initialization, the AUTO indicator light comes on, and then goes off when initialization has finished.

·

If the performance of the air conditioner is poor or there is a foul odor, check for clogging in the clean air filter.
