NOTE:

• Only the VQ40DE engine is equipped with a heater pump for the rear heater system.

• When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from

spilling.

REMOVAL

1. Partially drain the engine cooling system. Refer to 

CO-13, "Changing Engine Coolant"

 (VQ40DE).

2. Disconnect the heater pump electrical connector.
3. Disconnect the two heater hoses.
4. Remove the heater pump from the bracket securing the heater pump to the cowl top.

CAUTION:

Do not disassemble the heater pump, replace the heater pump as an assembly.

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

• The heater pump rubber mount must be fully seated on the bracket.

°

C (90

°

F).

2. Press the OFF switch.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn ignition switch ON.

5. Press the AUTO switch.
6. Confirm that the set temperature remains at previous temperature.

7. Press the OFF switch.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for 

HAC-124, "Memory Function Check"

.

If OK, continue with next check.

CHECKING BLOWER

1. Press the blower speed control switch (+) once, blower should operate on low speed. The fan display

should have one bar lit (on display).

2. Press the blower speed control switch (+) again, and continue checking blower speed and fan display until

all speeds are checked.

3. Leave blower on maximum speed. 
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for 

HAC-42, "Front Blower Motor Diagnosis Procedure"

.

If OK, continue with next check.

CHECKING DISCHARGE AIR

1. Press MODE switch four times and the DEF

 switch.

2. Each position indicator should change shape (on display).

3. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distribution table. Refer to 

HAC-18, "Discharge

Air Flow (Front)"

.

Mode door position is checked in the next step.

If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for 

HAC-27, "Mode Door Motor (Front) Diagnosis Procedure"

.

If OK, continue the check.

NOTE:

Confirm that the compressor clutch is engaged (sound or visual inspection) and intake door position is at

fresh when the FOOT, DEF or D/F is selected.

CHECKING RECIRCULATION ( ,   ONLY)

1. Press recirculation (

) switch one time. Recirculation indicator should illuminate.

2. Press recirculation (

) switch one more time. Recirculation indicator should go off.

3. Listen for intake door position change (blower sound should change slightly).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for 

HAC-39, "Intake Door Motor Diagnosis Procedure"

.

If OK, continue the check.

NOTE:

Confirm that the compressor clutch is engaged (sound or visual inspection) and intake door position is at fresh
when the FOOT, DEF or D/F is selected. REC (

) is not allowed in DEF (

) D/F (

) or FOOT (

).

CHECKING TEMPERATURE DECREASE

1. Rotate temperature control dial (drive or passenger) counterclockwise until 18

°

C (60

°

F) is displayed.

2. Check for cold air at appropriate discharge air outlets.

Conditions

: Engine running and at normal operating temperature

< BASIC INSPECTION >

[AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

If NG, listen for sound of air mix door motor operation. If OK, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for 

HAC-112,

"Component Function Check"

. If air mix door motor appears to be malfunctioning, go to 

HAC-31, "Air Mix Door

Motor (Driver) Component Function Check"

If OK, continue the check.

CHECKING TEMPERATURE INCREASE

1. Rotate temperature control dial clockwise (drive or passenger) until 32

°

C (90

°

F) is displayed.

2. Check for hot air at appropriate discharge air outlets.
If NG, listen for sound of air mix door motor operation. If OK, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for 

HAC-120,

"Component Function Check"

. If air mix door motor appears to be malfunctioning, go to 

HAC-31, "Air Mix Door

Motor (Driver) Component Function Check"

.  

If OK, continue with next check.

CHECK A/C SWITCH

1. Press A/C switch when AUTO switch is ON, or in manual mode.
2. A/C switch indicator will turn ON.

• Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual inspection).

NOTE:

If current mode setting is DEF or D/F, compressor clutch will already be engaged and cannot be turned off.

If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for 

HAC-69, "Magnet Clutch Diagnosis Procedure"

.

If OK, continue with next check.

CHECKING AUTO MODE

1. Press AUTO switch.
2. Display should indicate AUTO.

• If ambient temperature is warm, and selected temperature is cool, confirm that the compressor clutch

engages (sound or visual inspection). (Discharge air and blower speed will depend on ambient, in-vehi-

cle, and set temperatures.)

If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for 

HAC-91, "A/C Auto Amp Power and Ground Diagnosis Proce-

dure"

, then if necessary, trouble diagnosis procedure for  

HAC-69, "Magnet Clutch Diagnosis Procedure"

.

If all operational checks are OK (inspection results are normal), go to malfunction Simulation Tests in  

HAC-4,

"How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis For Quick And Accurate Repair"

 and perform tests as outlined to simulate

driving conditions environment. If symptom appears. Refer to 

HAC-111, "Symptom Matrix Chart"

, and per-

form applicable trouble diagnosis procedures.

Operational Check (Rear)

INFOID:0000000006243616

The purpose of the operational check is to confirm that the system operates properly.

CHECKING REAR BLOWER MOTOR

1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Rotate rear air control (front) blower control dial to low speed.
3. Rotate the blower control dial clockwise and continue checking blower speed until all speeds are checked.
4. Leave blower on maximum speed.
5. Press the REAR CTRL switch from the rear air control (front).
6. Rotate rear air control (rear) blower control dial to low speed.
7. Rotate the blower control dial clockwise and continue checking blower speed until all speeds are checked.
8. Leave blower on maximum speed.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for 

HAC-48, "Rear Blower Motor Component Function Check"

.

If OK, continue with next check.

CHECKING REAR TEMPERATURE DECREASE
