b. Automatic A/C

Self-diagnosis operation: press the A/C + inner/outer circulation button for more than 5 seconds.
Malfunction display: Switch DVD to FM mode, set the driver A/C temperature to 29.5°C and long press
the A/C + inner/outer circulation button for more than 5 seconds to enter self-diagnosis mode.
Automatic controller background automatically performs self-checking, runs the A/C system actuators
and sensors, and then shows the malfunction code by DVD screen (other information is not
shown).The system automatically exits self-checking after displaying the code for 5 seconds (power on
can force the diagnosis function to end). If there is no malfunction, it will display 00, and 5 seconds
later, it will exit self-diagnosis mode. System enters the state before diagnosis after exiting



self-diagnosis mode.
Detail correspondence of codes and malfunction is as follows:

3. Malfunction Compensation Function

To guarantee the proper work of A/C system, when the controller detects an invalid or defect sensor in A/C
system, the system will work based on the sensor failure alternative value.
Definition of sensor failure alternative value is as follows:

DTC Confirmation Procedure

Confirm that the battery voltage is normal before performing the following procedures.
 Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
 Connect X-431 3G diagnostic tester (the latest software) to Data Link Connector (DLC).
 Turn ignition switch ON.
 Using X-431 3G diagnostic tester to record and clear the DTCs stored in the A/C control module assembly.
 Turn ignition switch to LOCK and wait for a few seconds.
 Using X-431 3G diagnostic tester to select "Read Code".
 If DTC is detected, the malfunction indicated by the DTC is current. Go to the diagnosis procedure - Step 1.
 If DTC is not detected, the malfunction indicated by the DTC is intermittent. Please refer to Intermittent

DTC Troubleshooting.

Intermittent DTC Troubleshooting

If the malfunction is intermittent, perform the followings:
 Check if connectors are loose.
 Check if wire harnesses are worn, pierced, pinched or partially broken.
 Wiggle related wire harnesses and connectors and observe if signal is interrupted in the related circuit.
 If possible, try to duplicate the conditions under which the DTC was set.
 Look for the data that has changed or the DTC to be reset during the wiggle test.
 Look for broken, bent, protruded or corroded terminals.
 Inspect the A/C system sensors and mounting areas for damage, foreign matter, etc. that will cause

incorrect signals.

 Check and clean all wire harness connectors and grounding parts related to the current DTC.
 Remove the A/C control panel assembly from the malfunctioning vehicle and install it to a new vehicle and

perform a test. If DTC cannot be cleared, the A/C control panel assembly is malfunctioning. If DTC can be
cleared, reinstall the A/C control panel assembly to original vehicle.

 If multiple trouble codes were set, refer to the circuit diagrams to look for any common ground circuit or

power supply circuit applied to the DTC.

 Refer to Technical Bulletin that is applied to the malfunction.

Ground Inspection

Groundings are very important to the proper operation of circuits. Ground points are often exposed to
moisture, dirt and other corrosive environments. Corrosion (rust) can increase load resistance. This situation
may change the way in which a circuit works.
Circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground may seriously affect the control
circuit. The operations to check the ground points are as follows:
1. Remove the ground bolt or nut.
2. Check all contact surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
3. Clean as necessary to ensure that contacting is in a good condition.
4. Reinstall the ground bolt or nut securely.
5. Check if add-on accessories interfere with the ground circuit.
6. If several wire harnesses are crimped into one ground terminal, check if they are installed correctly. Make

sure all wire harnesses are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path.
