PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE

NOTICE:

Perform the inspection when the vehicle is at ambient temperature. If this is not done, there could be a risk of injury depending on the location being inspected.
Inspect the fuses and relays related to this system before inspecting the suspected areas below.
The air conditioning system uses the CAN communication system. First, confirm that there is no malfunction in the CAN communication system. Refer to the How to Proceed with Troubleshooting procedure.

VEHICLE CHECK ITEMS

HINT:

You can reduce the number of systems to check by using the results of the following operation check.
Perform the following checks based on Customer Feedback and the vehicle condition.
The customer's opinion may not be consistent with the actual problem (eg: the cooling performance of the air conditioner is bad → actually, the wind volume is weak). It is important to check the problem symptoms accurately and judge correctly based on various sources of information.
Judgment as to whether the air conditioner panel is normal or abnormal can be judged by checking if the indicator illuminates or turns off when the switch is operated.
If the performance of the air conditioner is poor or there is a foul odor, check for clogging in the clean air filter.
