Malfunction Status

Factor

  • Fresh/recirculation mode does not change
  • Fresh/recirculation mode does not change automatically
  • Exhaust gas can be smelled even while set to recirculation mode
  • Blower servo motor malfunction
  • Blower damper and link operation (jamming)
  • Foreign object jammed in door
  • Air conditioning radiator sub-assembly malfunction
  • High engine coolant temperature

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK NO. 1 BLOWER DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY

(a) Check that the No. 1 blower damper servo sub-assembly is installed correctly.

OK:

No. 1 blower damper servo sub-assembly is installed correctly.

NG

REINSTALL NO. 1 BLOWER DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY

Coolant Temperature

Engine coolant temperature

Min.: -40°C (-40°F), Max.: 140°C (284°F)

75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F): After warming up

This is the engine coolant temperature.

HINT:

  • After warming up the engine, the engine coolant temperature will be 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F).
  • After a long soak, the engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient air temperature will be approximately equal.
  • If the value is -40°C (-40°F), or higher than 135°C (275°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.
  • Check if the engine overheats if the value indicated is higher than 135°C (275°F).
