STEP 16. Check harness between battery and
B-13X (terminal No. 1) A/C compressor relay
connector.

NOTE: Before checking harness, check intermediate
connector A-29

*1

or C-31

*2

, and repair if necessary.

Inspection Procedure 29: A/C Load Signal System

OPERATION

• The A/C load signal is inputted to the

engine-ECU (terminal No. 65) from the A/C-ECU
(terminal No. 32).

FUNCTION

• The magnitude of the A/C compressor load is

detected and input to the engine-ECU. The
engine-ECU provides A/C idle up control accord-
ing to the A/C compressor load condition.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Failed A/C-ECU

• Open/short circuit in A/C load signal circuit or

loose connector contact

• Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Perform voltage measurement at C-121
engine-ECU connector.

• Measure engine-ECU terminal voltage.

• Engine: Idling

• A/C switch: ON (A/C compressor in driven state)

• Voltage between terminal No. 65 and earth

OK:

1 V or less (when the A/C is under low load)
System voltage (when the A/C is under high

load)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2 .

NO :

Go to Step 4 .

STEP 2. Connector check: C-121 engine-ECU
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3 .

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 3. Check the trouble symptoms.

Q: Does trouble symptom persist?

YES :

Replace the engine-ECU.

NO :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP
00

− How to Use

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

P.00-5

).
