Inspection Procedure 1: Cool air does not come








CIRCUIT OPERATION


While the engine is running, with the blower switch ON, and when the temperature control dial is set to MAX COOL, if cool air does not come out from the vents, A/C compressor control circuit system may be defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of the A/C evaporator air outlet thermistor
  • Malfunction of the dual pressure switch
  • Malfunction of the engine-ECU
  • Damaged the wiring harness or connectors
  • Improper amount of refrigerant
