STEP 15. Measure the resistance at condenser fan motor 
connector A-26.
(1) Disconnect condenser fan motor connector A-26, and 

measure the resistance at the wiring harness side.

(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 2 and 

ground.

• 2 ohms or less

Q: Does the measured resistance value correspond with 

this range?
YES : No action to be taken.
NO :   Go to Step 16.

STEP 16. Check condenser fan motor connector A-26 for 
damage.
Q: Is condenser fan motor connector A-26 in good 

condition?
YES : Go to Step 17.
NO :  Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP 

00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. The 

blower motor should operate normally.

STEP 17. Check the wiring harness between condenser fan 
motor connector A-26 (terminal 2) and ground.
Q: Is the wiring harness between condenser fan motor 

connector A-26 (terminal 2) and ground in good 
condition?
YES : No action to be taken.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness. The blower motor should 

operate normally.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING

55B-119

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The A/C-ECU power system may be defective if the 
air conditioning, defogger, and outside/inside air 
changeover damper motor all do not operate nor-
mally.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malformation of the A/C-ECU

• Damaged harness wires or connectors

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991223: Test Harness Set

STEP 1. Measure the voltage at A/C-ECU connector D-24. 
(1) Disconnect A/C-ECU connector D-24 and measure the 

voltage at the harness side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 26 and ground.

• The measured value should be approximately 12 volts 

(battery positive voltage).

Q: Does the measured voltage correspond with this range?

YES :  Go to Step 4.
NO :   Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check A/C-ECU connector D-24 for damage.
Q:  Is A/C-ECU connector D-24 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP 

00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Check 

that the air conditioning works normally.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between A/C-ECU 
connector D-24 (terminal 26) and the ignition switch (IG2).

NOTE: Also check joint connector (6) D-01, junction block con-
nectors D-210 and D-208. If joint connector (6) D-01, junction 
block connectors D-210 or D-208 is damaged, repair or replace 
the connector as described in GROUP 00E, Harness Connec-
tor Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

Q: Is the wiring harness between A/C-ECU connector D-24 

(terminal 26) and the ignition switch (IG2) in good 
condition?
YES : Check that the air conditioning works normally.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness. Check that the air 

conditioning works normally.
