Fault code display

(1)	Continuance operation : DTC code is one.

(2)	Continuance operation : DTC code is more two.

(3)

STEP operation

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

B.	DTC code as more two.

4.	If fault codes are displayed during the check, Inspect malfunction causes by referring to fault codes.

Fail safe

(1)	In-car temperature sensor: Control with the value of 25°C(77°F)

(2)	Ambient temperature sensor: Control with the value of 20°C(67°F)

(3)	Evaporator temperature sensor: Control with the value of -2°C(28.4°F)

(4)	Water temperature sensor: Control with the value of -2°C(28.4°F) / Estimated torque calculation : 90°C(194°F)

(5)	Temperature control actuator (Air mix potentiometer): If temperature setting 17°C-24.5°C, fix at maximum cooling position. If temperature setting 25°C-32°C, fix at maximum heating position.

(6)	Mode control actuator (Direction potentiometer): Fix vent position, while selecting vent mode. Fix defrost position, while selecting all except vent mode.

(7)	Intake control actuator : Fix fresh position, while selecting fresh mode. Fix recirculation position, while selecting recirculation mode.
