HINT:

*1: If the room temp. is approx. -18.6°C (-3.7°F) or lower, trouble code 11 may be output even though
the system is normal.

*2: If the ambient temp. is approx. -52.9°C (-61.4°F) or lower, a malfunction code may be output even

though the system is normal.

*3: If the check is being performed in a dark place, DTC 21, 24 (solar sensor circuit abnormal) could

be displayed.

*4: Compressor lock (DTC22) is indicated only for a current occurring malfunction (See page 05-483 ).

To confirm DTC 22, perform the following steps.

(1) With the engine ON, enter the DTC check mode.
(2) Press the F/R switch to enter actuator check mode, and set the operation to Step No. 3.
(3) Press the AUTO switch to return to DTC check mode.
(4) The DTC is displayed after approx. 3 sec.

*5: The A/C amplifier (Heater Control Housing) memorizes the DTC of the respective malfunction it has

occurred for the period of the time indicated in the brackets.

*6: Even though the system is in good condition, DTC is output when the seat sensor temperature

senses -40C (-40F) and over 99C (210.2F).
