  1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND GROUND 
    1. Disconnect intake sensor connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check voltage between intake sensor harness connector M305 terminal 2 (R/W) and ground

      Approx. 5V 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 2
    2. NG: GO TO  4.

  2. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND FRONT AIR CONTROL 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect front air control connector.
    3. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M305 terminal 1 (O/B) and front air control harness connector M49 terminal 21 (O/B)

      Continuity should exist. 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 3
    2. NG: Repair harness or connector.

  3. CHECK INTAKE SENSOR 

    Refer to . "Intake Sensor "

    OK or NG 

    1. OK :
      1. Replace front air control
      2. Go to self-diagnosis . "A/C SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION " and perform self-diagnosis.
    2. NG :
      1. Replace intake sensor.
      2. Go to self-diagnosis . "A/C SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION " and perform self-diagnosis.
  4. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND FRONT AIR CONTROL 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect front air control connector.
    3. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M305 terminal 2 (R/W) and front air control harness connector M49 terminal 9 (R/W)

      Continuity should exist. 

    4. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M305 terminal 2 (R/W) and ground

      Continuity should not exist.
