INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (REAR A/C MAG VALVE) |
Select the Active Test, use the intelligent tester to generate a control command, and then check that the rear cooling unit expansion valve operates.
- OK:
- Rear cooling unit expansion valve operates normally.
Air ConditionerTester Display | Test Part | Control Range | Diagnostic Note |
Rear A/C Mag Valv | Rear cooling unit expansion valve | OFF or ON | - |
OK | |

REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY ()
|
|
Remove the A/C IG fuse from the cowl side junction block LH.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
A/C IG fuse | Always | Below 1 Ω |
3.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WIRING AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS - BATTERY) |
Disconnect the wiring air conditioning harness sub-assembly connector.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
2 (+S) - Body ground | Engine switch off | Below 1 V |
Engine switch on (IG) | 11 to 14 V |
| REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
|
4.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WIRING AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER) |
Disconnect the wiring air conditioning harness sub-assembly connector.
Disconnect the E36 amplifier connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
3 (RMGV) - E36-19 (RMGV) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
3 (RMGV) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
E36-19 (RMGV) - Body ground |
| REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
|
5.CHECK REAR COOLING UNIT EXPANSION VALVE (OPERATION) |
Replace the rear cooling unit expansion valve ().
- Since the rear cooling unit expansion valve cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the rear cooling unit expansion valve with a normal one and check that the condition returns to normal.
- OK:
- Same problem does not occur.

6.CHECK WIRING AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS SUB-ASSEMBLY (OPERATION) |
Replace the wiring air conditioning harness sub-assembly with a normal one and check that the condition returns to normal.
- OK:
- Same problem does not occur.
