- Inspect battery voltage
Standard voltage: 11 to 14 v
If the voltage is below 11 v, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.
- Check can communication system*
- Use the intelligent tester to check if the can communication system is functioning.
Result 
- Check dtc*
- Check for dtcs and write down any dtcs that are output.
- Clear the dtcs.
- Recheck for dtcs. Based on the dtcs output above, try to cause output of the air conditioning system dtc by simulating the operation indicated by the dtc.
Result 
- Refer to problem symptoms table
Result 
- Overall analysis and troubleshooting*
- Data list / active test (see page ac-127)
- Terminals of ecu (see page ac-122)
