CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:


  • In some cases, the heater assembly, air duct and exhaust pipes are extremely hot. When performing the inspection, wear protective gloves and do not touch these parts with bare hands.

  • When performing the inspection, wear a face mask to prevent direct inhalation of exhaust gas.

Tech Tips


  • Output of DTC 050 indicates that the heater assembly has been locked by the ECU and cannot be operated. Clear the DTCs by pressing the memory clear buttons on the DTC tester to unlock the ECU Click here.

  • Before performing the following inspections, attempt to restart the heater assembly. If the heater assembly is successfully started, confirm that neither DTC 054 nor DTC 056 is output. If neither DTC 054 nor 056 is output, stop troubleshooting because it can be concluded that the system has returned to normal.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT FUEL PIPE


    1. Check that there is no fuel leakage between the heater pump assembly and heater assembly.

      OK
      There is no problem in the fuel pipe.

    NG

    CLEAN OR REPLACE FUEL PIPE Click here

    OK

  2. INSPECT AIR DUCT


    1. Perform the following checks of the air duct.


      • The air duct is not clogged with foreign matter.

      • Air intake is normal.

      • The air duct is correctly installed to the heater assembly.

      • There are no defects that would cause air to leak from the intake air duct.

      OK
      There is no problem with the air duct.

    NG

    CLEAN OR REPLACE AIR DUCT Click here

    OK

  3. INSPECT EXHAUST PIPE SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Check that hot exhaust gas is coming out of the exhaust pipes.

      CAUTION:


      • The exhaust pipes and muffler are extremely hot. Wear protective gloves and do not touch these parts with bare hands.

      • When performing the inspection, wear a face mask to prevent direct inhalation of exhaust gas.

  4. INSPECT HEATER PUMP ASSEMBLY


    1. A004S1RE04
      Text in Illustration
      *1

      Component without harness connected

      (Heater Pump Assembly)

      Disconnect the A55 heater pump assembly connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 (B2) - 2 (E2) Always 9 to 12 Ω

    3. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2, and check the pressure of the hose by hand.

      Note


      • This inspection must be done quickly (within 10 seconds) to prevent damage to the heater pump assembly.

      • Always switch the voltage on and off on the battery side, not the heater pump assembly side.

      • Keep the heater pump assembly as far away from the battery as possible.

      OK
      Pressure is applied to the hose.

    NG

    REPLACE HEATER PUMP ASSEMBLY Click here

    OK

  5. REPLACE FUEL PUMP FILTER


    1. Replace the fuel pump filter (heater pump assembly) with a new one Click here.

    2. Check that the system returns to normal.

      OK
      The heater assembly is ignited normally and starts operating.

    OK

    END (FUEL PUMP FILTER IS FAULTY)

    NG
