PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of the outside/inside air selection damper control motor
  • Damaged wiring harness or connectors
  • Malfunction of the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU)

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Check the operation of the heater control panel assembly (A/C-ECU)


Check that the A/C switch, rear window defogger switch and air volume control dial can operate.

Q. Is the check result normal?

This diagnosis is complete.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check of open circuit in F/RA, F/RA’ F/RB and F/RB’ line between outside/inside air selection damper control motor and heater control panel assembly (A/C-ECU) connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 5. Replace the air outside/inside air circulation switching damper motor, and then recheck the trouble symptom.


Check to see that the outside air/inside air circulation switching damper motor operates normally.
note Whenever the motor is replaced, initialise the motor position by using the Actuator Test.

Q. Is the check result normal?

This diagnosis is complete.
Replace the heater control panel assembly (A/C-ECU).
