Self Diagnosis

1.	Self-diagnosis process

How to read self-diagnostic code

After the display panel blinks three times every 0.5 second, the corresponding fault code blinks on the setup temperature display panel every 0.5 second and will show two figures. Codes are displayed in numerical format

Fault code

Display	Fail description
00	Normal
11	In-car sensor open
12	In-car sensor short
13	Ambient sensor open
14	Ambient sensor short
17	Evaporator sensor open
18	Evaporator sensor short
19	Temp door potentiometer open/short- Drive
20	Temp door potentiometer fault- Drive
21	Mode door potentiometer open/short
22	Mode door potentiometer fault
23	Auto defogging sensor open
24	Auto defogging sensor short
25	Intake door potentiometer open/short
26	Intake door potentiometer fault
32	Temp door potentiometer open/short - Passenger
33	Temp door potentiometer fault - Passenger
45	APT (A/C Pressure Transducer) CAN signal fault
47	RPM CAN signal fault
48	Vehicle speed CAN signal fault
49	Engine coolant temperature CAN signal fault
50	Cluster ion generator fault

Fault code display

(1)	Continuance operation : None or one DTC code.

(2)	Continuance operation : Two or more DTC code.

(3)

STEP operation

A.	Nomal or one fault code is same as a continuance operation.

B.	Two or more DTC code.

4.	If fault codes are displayed while checking, inspect for malfunction causes by referring to the fault code table.
