HVAC SYSTEM (AUTO A/C) (DIAGNOSTICS) > Diagnostic Procedure for Sensors

IN-VEHICLE SENSOR

TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

Blower fan speed, outlet port and inlet port do not change after turning the AUTO switch to ON

Failure related to the in-vehicle sensor is detected by self-diagnosis.

WIRING DIAGRAM:

STEPCHECKYESNO

1.CHECK IN-VEHICLE SENSOR.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Remove the instrument panel lower cover.

3) Disconnect the connector from in-vehicle sensor.

4) Measure the resistance between connector terminals of in-vehicle sensor.

Terminals

No. 1 — No. 2:

Is the resistance approximately 2.7 kΩ at 20°C (68°F)?

Replace the in-vehicle sensor.

2.CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR IN-VEHICLE SENSOR.

1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

2) Measure the voltage between in-vehicle sensor harness connector terminal and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

LHD model:

(i55) No. 2 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

RHD model:

(B314) No. 2 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the voltage approx. 5 V?

3.CHECK AUTO A/C CONTROL MODULE OUTPUT SIGNAL.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Remove the auto A/C control module.

3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

4) Measure the voltage between connector terminals of auto A/C control module.

Connector & terminal

(i49) No. 12 (+) — (i48) No. 16 (−):

Is the voltage approx. 5 V?

4.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN AUTO A/C CONTROL MODULE AND IN-VEHICLE SENSOR.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Disconnect the connector from the auto A/C control module.

3) Measure the resistance of harness between auto A/C control module and in-vehicle sensor.

Connector & terminal

LHD model:

(i55) No. 2 — (i49) No. 12:

RHD model:

(B314) No. 2 — (i49) No. 12:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Repair the harness between auto A/C control module and in-vehicle sensor.

5.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN AUTO A/C CONTROL MODULE AND IN-VEHICLE SENSOR.

Measure the resistance of harness between auto A/C control module and in-vehicle sensor.

Connector & terminal

LHD model:

(i55) No. 1 — (i48) No. 16:

RHD model:

(B314) No. 1 — (i48) No. 16:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Repair the harness between auto A/C control module and in-vehicle sensor.

6.CHECK POOR CONTACT.

Check poor contact of auto A/C control module connector.

Is there poor contact of the connector?

Repair the connector.

Replace the auto A/C control module.
