DESCRIPTION
If the temperature of the air that blows from the left and right front registers differs, even though the same temperature is set for both sides, the following factors may be the cause.
Symptom | Factor |
---|---|
Temperature of outlet air is cooler on left or right side
|
|
Temperature of outlet air is warmer on left or right side
|
|
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
The air conditioning system uses the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication functions by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the air conditioning system after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.

HINT:
*1: This inspection can be judged correctly only if the ambient temperature is within a range of 0 to 49°C (32 to 120°F). Therefore, postpone the test if the temperature is low.
*2: This inspection can be judged correctly only if the air inlet temperature is within a range of 25 to 35°C (77 to 95°F). Therefore, postpone the test if the temperature is out of range.
(b) Using the GTS, check the amount of refrigerant.
