Inspection Procedure 6: The air conditioner does not work at all.






COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


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

PROBABLE CAUSE



  • Malfunction of the Engine-ECU <M/T> or Engine-A-M/T-ECU <Automated manual transmission>
  • Malfunction of the A/C compressor
  • Malfunction of the engine control relay

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics


warning Since the radiator fan rotates during CAN bus line diagnostics, make sure that no one is servicing the engine compartment before diagnosing the CAN bus line. Since the CAN communication stops when diagnosing the CAN bus line, the ETACS-ECU detects the time-out of the engine-ECU, and activates the radiator fan to prevent overheating as fail-safe.
Use the M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.
Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C, Troubleshooting ).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code
