HINT:
  • *1: If the room temperature is approximately -18.6°C (-1.48°F) or lower, DTC B1411/11 may be output even though the system is normal.
  • *2: If the ambient temperature is approximately -52.9°C (-63.2°F) or lower, DTC B1412/12 may be output even though the system is normal.
  • *3: If the check is being performed in a dark place, DTC B1421/21 or B1424/24 (solar sensor circuit abnormal) may be output.
  • *4: The A/C amplifier memorizes the DTC (of the respective malfunction that has occurred) for the period of time indicated in the brackets.
  • *5: Compressor lock (DTC B1422/22) is indicated only for a current malfunction.

    To confirm DTC B1422/22, perform the following steps.

    1. With the ignition switch ON, enter the DTC check mode.
    2. Press the R/F switch to enter the actuator check mode, and set the operation to Step No. 3.
    3. Press the AUTO switch to return to the DTC check mode.
    4. The DTC is displayed after approximately 3 seconds.
  • *6: Short in circuit
  • *7: Open in circuit
