Conditions: Engine running at normal operating temperature
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. CHECK MEMORY FUNCTION
1.Start the engine.
2.Operate the temperature control switch (driver side) and raise the temperature setting to 32�C (90�F).
3.Press the OFF switch.
4.Turn the ignition switch OFF.
5.Turn the ignition switch ON.
6.Press the AUTO switch.
7.Check that the temperature setting, before turning the ignition switch OFF, is stored.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 2.
NO- Check power and ground circuits for A/C auto amp. Refer to "A/C AUTO AMP. : Diagnosis Procedure" A/C Auto Amp..
2. CHECK BLOWER MOTOR SPEED

2.Check the operation for all fan speeds.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 3.
NO- Check blower motor system. Refer to "Diagnosis Procedure" Automatic Air Conditioning.
3. CHECK DISCHARGE AIR (MODE SWITCH AND DEF SWITCH)
1.Press the MODE switch and the DEF switch.
2.Check that the air outlets change according to each indicated air outlet by placing a hand in front of the outlets. Refer to "System Description" System Description.
NOTE:
Confirm that the A/C compressor clutch is engaged (sound or visual inspection) and intake door position is at FRE when the D/F or DEF is selected.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 4.
NO- Check mode door system. Refer to "MODE DOOR MOTOR : Diagnosis Procedure" Mode Door Motor.
4. CHECK INTAKE AIR
1.Press the REC switch. Indicator is turned ON.
2.Press the FRE switch. Indicator is turned ON.
3.Listen for the intake door position change. (Slight change of blower sound can be heard.)
NOTE:
Confirm that the A/C compressor clutch is engaged (sound or visual inspection) and the FRE switch is pressed when the D/F or DEF is selected.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 5.
NO- Check intake door system. Refer to "INTAKE DOOR MOTOR : Diagnosis Procedure" Intake Door Motor.
5. CHECK A/C SWITCH
1.Press the A/C switch.
2.The A/C switch indicator is turned ON.
Confirm that the A/C compressor clutch engages (sound or visual inspection).
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 6.
NO- Check magnet clutch system. Refer to "Diagnosis Procedure" Automatic Air Conditioning.
6. CHECK TEMPERATURE DECREASE
1.Operate the A/C compressor.
2.Operate the temperature control switch (driver side) and lower the temperature setting to 18�C (60�F).
3.Check that the cool air blows from the outlets.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 7.
NO- Check for insufficient cooling. Refer to "Diagnosis Procedure" Insufficient Cooling.
7. CHECK TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1.Operate the temperature control switch (driver side) and raise the temperature setting to 32�C (90�F) after warming up the engine.
2.Check that the warm air blows from the outlets.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 8.
NO- Check for insufficient heating. Refer to "Diagnosis Procedure" Insufficient Heating.
8. CHECK DUAL MODE FUNCTION
1.Press the DUAL mode switch, and then check that "DUAL" is shown on the display.
2.Operate the temperature control switch (driver side). Check that the discharge air temperature (driver side) changes.
3.Operate the temperature control switch (passenger side). Check that the discharge air temperature (passenger side) changes.
4.Press the DUAL mode switch, and then check that the temperature setting (driver/passenger) is unified to the driver side temperature setting.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 9.
NO- Refer to "Diagnosis Chart By Symptom" Heater And Air Conditioning System Control Symptoms and perform the appropriate diagnosis.
9. CHECK AUTO MODE
1.Press the AUTO switch, and then check that "AUTO" is shown on the display.
2.Operate the temperature control switch (driver side). Check that the fan speed, outlet air or intake air changes. The discharge air temperature or fan speed varies depending on the ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature, and temperature setting.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- Inspection End
NO- Refer to "Diagnosis Chart By Symptom" Heater And Air Conditioning System Control Symptoms and perform the appropriate diagnosis.
