HINT:
S *1: If the room temp. is approx. 18.6C (3.7F) or lower, trouble code B1411/11 may be output even
though the system is normal.
S *2: If the ambient temp. is approx. 52.9C (61.4F) or lower, a malfunction code may be output even

though the system is normal.

S *3: If the check is being performed in a dark place, DTC B1421/21 or B1424/24 (solar sensor circuit

abnormal) could be displayed.

S *4: The A/C amplifier memorizes the DTC of the respective malfunction it has occurred for the period

of the time indicated in the brackets.

S *5: Compressor lock (DTC B1422/22) is indicated only for a current malfunction. (See page 05453)

To confirm DTC B1422/22, preform the following steps.

(1) With the engine ON, enter the DTC check mode.
(2) Press the R/F switch to enter actuator check mode, and set the operation to Step No. 3.
(3) Press the AUTO switch to return to DTC check mode.
(4) The DTC is displayed after approx. 3 secs.
