Code No. B107A: Ion Generator System Failure <Vehicles with nanoe™>




TROUBLE JUDGEMENT


When the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU) detects the following conditions for 6 seconds, diagnosis code No. B107A is set.

  • Engine is running
  • Battery voltage: 10 to 16 V
  • Ion generator operation request signal: ON
  • Ion generator operation signal: Not received

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of the ion generator
  • Malfunction of the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU)
  • Damaged the wiring harness or connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Voltage measurement at ion generator connector (STLT terminal)


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Turn on the air refresher ionizer switch and make sure that the indicator on the switch illuminates.
(4)Set the blower speed to other than OFF.
(5)Check the voltage between the ion generator connector (STLT terminal) and body earth.
OK: 10 V to 16 V

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check of open and short circuit in I/G line between heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU) connector and ion generator connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Replace the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU).
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 3. Voltage measurement at heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU) connector (I/GM terminal)


(1)Measure by backprobing without disconnecting the connector.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Turn on the air refresher ionizer switch and make sure that the indicator on the switch illuminates.
(4)Set the blower speed to other than OFF.
(5)Check the voltage between the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU) (I/GM terminal) and body earth.
OK: 10 V to 16 V

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check of open and short circuit in I/GM line between heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU) connector and ion generator connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

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

STEP 5. Check of open and short circuit in IG line between ignition switch (IG1) or IG1 relay, and ion generator connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 6. Check of open circuit in GND line between ion generator connector and body earth


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 7. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Replace the ion generator (Refer to ).
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).

STEP 8. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Replace the heater controller assembly (A/C-ECU).
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).
