STEP 4. Perform voltage measurement at C-121
engine-ECU connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at harness

side.

• Ignition switch: "ON"

• Voltage between terminal No. 18 and earth.

OK: 4.9

− 5.1 V

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Replace the fan controller.

NO :

Go to Step 5 .

STEP 5. Connector check: A-17 fan controller
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 6 .

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 6. Check harness between A-17 (terminal
No. 2) fan controller connector and C-121
(terminal No. 18) engine-ECU connector.

NOTE: Before checking harness, check intermediate
connector A-13*

1

or 31*

2

, and repair if necessary.

• Check output line for open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Replace the fan controller.

NO :

Repair the damaged harness wire.

Inspection Procedure 22: Poor A/C Performance

COMMENT ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

• Failure is possibly caused by short /overcharged

A/C refrigerant, failed A/C control system, failed
fan control system or other faults.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Short or overcharged A/C refrigerant

• Failed A/C compressor

• Failed fan controller

• Failed A/C-ECU

• Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-II/III diagnosis code

Q: Diagnosis code set?

YES :

Inspection chart for diagnosis code (Refer

to

P.13A-17

).

NO :

Go to Step 2 .

STEP 2. A/C compressor magnet clutch
operation check.

• Engine: Idling

• A/C set temperature:

Maximum Cool when temperature in cabin is

25

°C or more

Maximum Hot when temperature in cabin is 25

°C

or less

OK:

Magnet clutch active (when A/C is ON)
Magnet clutch inactive (when A/C is OFF)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5 .

NO :

Go to Step 3 .

STEP 3. M.U.T.-II/III data list

• Item No. 28: A/C switch

a. Engine: Idling
b. A/C set temperature:

Maximum Cool when temperature in cabin is

25

°C or more

Maximum Hot when temperature in cabin is

25

°C or less

OK:

ON (when A/C is ON)
OFF (when A/C is OFF)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4 .

NO :

Check A/C switch (Refer to Inspection
Procedure 27

P.13A-341

).

STEP 4. M.U.T.-II/III data list

• Item No. 49: A/C relay

a. Engine: Idling
b. A/C set temperature:

Maximum Hot when temperature in cabin is

25

°C or less

Maximum Cool when temperature in cabin is

25

°C or more

OK:

ON (when A/C is ON)
OFF (when A/C is OFF)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Check A/C system (Refer to GROUP 55

−

Troubleshooting

P.55-29

).

NO :
