DESCRIPTION
Air conditioning system data and the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can be read through the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. When the system seems to be malfunctioning, use the GTS to check for malfunctions and perform troubleshooting.
CHECK DLC3
Check the DLC3.
LIST OF OPERATION METHODS
By operating each of the air conditioning control switches as shown in the diagram below, it is possible to enter diagnostic check mode.
INDICATOR CHECK
Turn the engine switch off.
| *a | Example (for LHD) |
Turn the engine switch on (IG) while pressing the air conditioning control assembly "AUTO" switch and "DUAL" switch simultaneously. Hold both switches until the indicator check screen appears.
The indicator check is automatically performed when panel diagnosis is activated. Check that the indicators light up and go off 4 times at 1 second intervals continuously.
| *a | Example (for LHD) | *b | State of indicator check |
| *c | On | *d | Off |
| *e | 1 second | - | - |
Tech Tips
The sensor check automatically starts when the indicator check is completed.
Press the "OFF" switch to cancel check mode.
SENSOR CHECK (DTC CHECK)

Perform the indicator check.
Tech Tips
After the indicator check is completed, the system enters DTC check mode automatically.
| *a | Example (for LHD) |
| *b | Diagnostic code |
Read the DTC displayed on the indicator panel.
Note
In sensor check mode, which is automatically entered after indicator check mode, troubleshooting may be partially performed. Be sure to perform the sensor check again.
Tech Tips
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart for details of the codes.
When there are no problems, DTC 00 is output.
As an example, the illustration shows that DTC 12 is output.
| *a | Example (for LHD) |
If the DTCs are difficult to read because they change automatically, press the "Driver Side Temperature Up" switch to display the DTCs one at a time so that they can be read easily. The DTCs change step by step each time the "Driver Side Temperature Up" switch is pressed.
