Inspection Procedure 6: The compressor does not work <4M40 M/T>














COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


If the A/C compressor does not operate, the A/C compressor circuit system may be defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of A/C compressor
  • Malfunction of A/C compressor relay
  • Malfunction of A/C pressure sensor
  • Damaged harness wires and connectors
  • Malfunction of engine-A/T-ECU
  • Malfunction of the A/C-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Connector check: B-43 engine coolant temperature switch and B-22 A/C compressor assembly connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.
Repair the connector.

STEP 2. Voltage measurement at B-22 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 coolant temperature switch connector B-43 and earth terminal 1.
(4)Voltage between terminal 1 and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 11.
Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Connector check: B-16X A/C compressor relay connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.
Repair the connector.

STEP 4. Check the A/C compressor relay continuity.


Refer to .

Q. Is the A/C compressor relay in good condition?

Go to Step 5.
Replace the A/C compressor relay.

STEP 5. Voltage measurement at B-16X A/C compressor relay connector.


(1)Remove the relay, and measure at the relay block side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Voltage between terminal 1 and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.
Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between B-16X A/C compressor relay connector terminal No.1 and D-08 A/C-ECU connector.


note Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check intermediate connector D-230, and repair if necessary.

  • Check the A/C compressor relay power supply line for open circuit.

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 7. Voltage measurement at B-16X A/C compressor relay connector.


(1)Remove the relay, and measure at the relay block side.
(2)Voltage between terminal 5 and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.
Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check the wiring harness between B-16X A/C compressor relay connector terminal No.5 and the fusible link (1).


note Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check intermediate connector A-05, and repair if necessary.

  • Check the A/C compressor relay power supply line for open circuit.

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 9. Check the wiring harness between B-43 engine coolant temperature switch connector terminal No.1 and B-16X A/C compressor relay connector terminal No.3.



  • Check the A/C compressor relay power supply line for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 10.
Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 10. Check the wiring harness between B-16X A/C compressor relay connector terminal No.4 and B-22 A/C compressor assembly connector terminal No.1.



  • Check the A/C compressor power supply line for open circuit.

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 11. Check the magnetic clutch operation.


Refer to .

Q. Can the sound of the magnetic clutch (click) be heard?

Go to Step 12.
Replace the compressor magnet clutch.

STEP 12. Check the engine coolant temperature switch.


Refer to .

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 13.
Replace the compressor magnet clutch.

STEP 13. Remove the refrigerant, and fill it to the specified amount.


Remove the refrigerant and fill it to the specified amount. Then check if the A/C operates normally. Refer to .

Q. Is the check result normal?

This diagnosis is complete.
Replace the A/C-ECU.
