PROCEDURE
1. |
READ VALUE USING GTS |
(a) Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.
Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Data List
Tester Display | Measurement Item |
Range | Normal Condition |
Diagnostic Note |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ambient Temperature Sensor |
Thermistor assembly | Min.: -327.68°C (-557.82°F) Max.: 327.67°C (621.81°F) |
Actual ambient temperature displayed |
Thermistor assembly circuit malfunction |
Tester Display |

Ambient Temperature Sensor |
OK:
The value of the display does not change frequently.
NG | GO TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE DISPLAY SYSTEM |
|
2. |
READ VALUE USING GTS |
(a) Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.
Powertrain > Engine > Data List
Tester Display | Measurement Item |
Range | Normal Condition |
Diagnostic Note |
---|---|---|---|---|
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:

3. |
CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE |
(a) Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.
Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Data List
Tester Display | Measurement Item |
Range | Normal Condition |
Diagnostic Note |
---|---|---|---|---|
Regulator Pressure Sensor |
Air conditioner pressure sensor |
Min.: -32768 kPa(gauge) Max.: 32767 kPa(gauge) |
Actual refrigerant pressure displayed |
Refrigerant line (gas leak etc.)

Regulator Pressure Sensor |
(b) Install a manifold gauge set.
(c) Read the manifold gauge pressure when the following conditions are met.
(1) Prepare the vehicle according to the table below.
Measurement Condition:
Item | Condition |
---|---|
Vehicle doors | Fully open |
Temperature setting | MAX COLD |
Blower speed | HI |
A/C switch | On |
Recirculation/fresh switch |
RECIRCULATION |
Interior temperature |
25 to 35°C (77 to 95°F) |
Standard Pressure:
Low pressure side
150 to 250 kPa (1.5 to 2.5 kgf/cm2, 22 to 36 psi)
High pressure side
1370 to 1570 kPa (14 to 16 kgf/cm2, 199 to 228 psi)
(d) Compare the values displayed in the Data List and on the manifold gauge.
OK:
The values displayed in the Data List and on the manifold gauge match.
OK | GO TO ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION (CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE USING GAUGE) |
NG | REPLACE AIR CONDITIONER PRESSURE SENSOR |
