STEP 10. Check the wiring harness between A/C 
compressor clutch relay connector B-16X (terminals 2 and 
4) and the fusible link (36).

• Check the A/C compressor clutch relay power supply line 

for open circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between A/C compressor clutch 

relay connector B-16X (terminals 2 and 4) and the 
fusible link (36) in good condition?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

.

NO :  Repair the wiring harness. Check that the A/C works 

normally.

STEP 11. Check the wiring harness between A/C 
compressor clutch relay connector B-16X (terminal 3) and 
A/C compressor assembly connector B-17 (terminal 1).
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector A-13 for loose, cor-
roded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector. If intermediate connector A-13 is damaged, repair or 
replace the connector as described in GROUP 00E, Harness 
Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

• Check the A/C compressor assembly power supply line for 

open circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between A/C compressor clutch 

relay connector B-16X (terminal 3) and A/C compressor 
assembly connector B-17 (terminal 1) in good 
condition?
YES : Go to Step 12.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness. Check that the A/C works 

normally.

STEP 12. Check the wiring harness between powertrain 
control module connector B-11 (terminal 102) and A/C 
compressor clutch relay connector B-16X (terminal 1).

• Check the powertrain control module signal line for open 

and short circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between powertrain control 

module connector B-11 (terminal 102) and A/C 
compressor clutch relay connector B-16X (terminal 1) in 
good condition?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

NO :  Repair the wiring harness. Check that the A/C works 

normally.

STEP 13. Check the refrigerant temperature switch.

CAUTION

Do not heat more than necessary.
(1) Dip the metal part of the cooling temperature switch into 

engine oil and increase the oil temperature using a gas 
burner or similar.

(2) When the oil temperature reaches the standard value, 

check that voltage is supplied between the terminals.

Standard value: 

NOTE: When the oil temperature is 135

°

C (275

°

F) or more 

and there is no continuity, the resistance will not be 2

Ω

 or 

lower until the oil temperature reduces to 120

°

C (248

°

F) or 

less.

Q: Is the refrigerant temperature switch operating 

properly?
YES : Go to Step 14.
NO :  Replace the refrigerant temperature switch. Check 

that the A/C works normally.

STEP 14. Replace the A/C-ECU.
Q: Does the A/C operate normally?

YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO :  Replace the powertrain control module. Check that 

the A/C works normally.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

If the blower motor does not operate, the blower 
relay system is suspected.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the power transistor

• Malfunction of the blower motor

• Malfunction of the A/C-ECU

• Damaged harness wires or connectors

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

STEP 1. Check blower motor connector C-114 for loose, 
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back 
in the connector.
Q: Is blower motor connector C-114 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP 

00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.The 

blower motor should operate normally.
