PROCEDURE

1.CHECK ECO MODE SETTING
a.

Confirm that ECO HEAT/COOL switch (air conditioning control assembly) is set to off.


b.

Confirm that ECO drive mode is set to off.

HINT:

When the ECO drive mode is set to ON, the air conditioning amplifier assembly performs minimal air conditioning control in order to promote the improvement of fuel economy. Ensure that the customer understands that the airflow volume will be decreased compared to normal operation.

Control Control Summary
Air Volume Control Sets the blower level to less.

2.CHECK REFRIGERANT SHORTAGE
2.CHECK REFRIGERANT SHORTAGE
a.

Prepare the vehicle according to the table below.

Measurement Condition:
Item Condition
A/C Switch On
Ambient Temperature*1 0 to 49°C (32 to 120°F)
Air Conditioning Air Inlet Temperature*2 25 to 35°C (77 to 95°F)
Set Temperature MAX COLD
Recirculation/fresh Control Switch Recirculation
Air Vent Damper Position FACE
Blower Speed HI

HINT:

*1: This inspection can be judged correctly only if the ambient temperature is within a range of 0 to 49°C (32 to 120°F). Therefore, postpone the test if the temperature is low.

*2: This inspection can be judged correctly only if the air inlet temperature is within a range of 25 to 35°C (77 to 95°F). Therefore, postpone the test if the temperature is out of range.



b.

Using the GTS, check the amount of refrigerant.

Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Utility
Tester Display
Refrigerant Gas Volume Check
50005 450 4578
NOTICE:

If the conditions for the inspection are not met, "Refrigerant incorrect" will be displayed on the GTS. Confirm the conditions of the inspection and perform the check again.


HINT:
·

If the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, "Refrigerant shortage" is displayed on the GTS and the indicator light on the A/C switch turns off.

·

When performing this inspection, a DTC will not be output even if "Refrigerant shortage" is displayed on the GTS.



Result:
Result Amount of Refrigerant
Refrigerant shortage Insufficient or leakage
Refrigerant correct Correct
Refrigerant incorrect Incorrect


OK:

"Refrigerant correct" is displayed on the GTS.



Result:
Proceed to
OK
