INSPECTION
PROCEDURE 7: The A/C compressor does not work
|
|
COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
|
|
|
When the A/C compressor does not work, the A/C compressor circuit system
may be defective.
|
|
|
- Malfunction of the A/C compressor
- Malfunction of the A/C compressor relay
- Damaged harness wires or connectors
- Malfunction of the engine-ECU
|
|
|
STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
|
|
|
Use the M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
 Go to Step 2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
 Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting  ).
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 2. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code
|
|
|
Check whether the A/C sets a diagnosis code or not.
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Go to Step 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Refer to diagnosis code chart .
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 3. Voltage measurement at A/C compressor assembly connector.
|
|
|
(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
|
|
|
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
|
|
|
(3)Disconnect engine-ECU connector and earth terminal.
|
|
|
(4)Voltage between A/C compressor terminal 1 and body earth.
OK: System voltage
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Go to Step 4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Go to Step 7.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 4. Check the A/C compressor.
|
|
|
Refer to .
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Go to Step 5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace the A/C compressor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 5. Check the refrigerant level.
|
|
|
Refer to .
|
|
|
Q.
Is the refrigerant level correct?
|
|
|
Go to Step 6.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Correct the refrigerant level (Refer to On-vehicle Service ).
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 6. Replace the engine-ECU, and then recheck the trouble symptom
|
|
|
Check that the compressor works normally.
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
This diagnosis is complete.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace the engine-ECU
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 7. Check the A/C compressor relay
|
|
|
Refer to .
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Go to Step 8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace the A/C compressor relay.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 8. Voltage measurement at A/C compressor relay connector.
|
|
|
(1)Remove the relay, and measure at the relay block side.
|
|
|
(2)Voltage between terminal 1, 4 and body earth.
OK: System voltage
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Go to Step 10.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Go to Step 9.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 9. Check open circuit in A/C compressor relay line between fusible
link (6) and A/C compressor relay.
|
|
|
| note |
Before the wiring harness check, check the junction block connector.
|
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope
with Intermittent Malfunction ).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Repair the wiring harness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 10. Check open circuit in A/C compressor and clutch assembly
line between A/C compressor relay and A/C compressor and clutch.
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Go to Step 11.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Repair the wiring harness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 11. Check open circuit in engine-ECU (AC/R) line between IG2
relay, A/C compressor relay and engine-ECU
|
|
|
| note |
Before the wiring harness check, check the junction block connector and joint connector.
|
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Cope
with Intermittent Malfunction ).
