3. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distribution table.

   Refer to DISCHARGE AIR FLOW .

   NOTE: Confirm that the compressor clutch is engaged (visual inspection) and intake door position is at FRESH when the DEF is selected.

Intake door position is checked in the next step.

1. If NG, go to MODE DOOR MOTOR CIRCUIT .
2. If OK, continue with next check.

1. Press REC switch.

   Recirculation indicator should illuminate.

2. Listen for intake door position change (you should hear blower sound change slightly).

1. If NG, go to INTAKE DOOR MOTOR CIRCUIT .
2. If OK, continue with next check.

1. Turn the temperature dial counterclockwise until 18°C (60°F) is displayed.
2. Check for cold air at discharge air outlets.

1. If NG, go to INSUFFICIENT COOLING .
2. If OK, continue with next check.

1. Set the temperature 25°C (75°F).
2. Press ECON switch.
3. Display should indicate ECON (no AUTO).

   Confirm that the compressor clutch is not engaged (visual inspection).

   (Discharge air and blower speed will depend on ambient, in-vehicle and set temperatures.)

1. If NG, go to ECON (ECONOMY) MODE .
2. If OK, continue with next check.

1. Press AUTO switch.
2. Display should indicate AUTO (no ECON).

   Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (audio or visual inspection).

   (Discharge air and blower speed will depend on ambient, in-vehicle and set temperatures.)

If NG, go to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE , then if necessary, MAGNET CLUTCH CIRCUIT .

If all operational check are OK (symptom can not be duplicated), go to HOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT  and perform tests as outlined to simulate driving conditions environment. If symptom appears, refer to SYMPTOM TABLE  and perform applicable trouble diagnosis procedures.
