Diagnosis with GDS

  1. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system can be diagnosed quickly (defective parts) using the Global Diagnostic System (GDS). ※ The GDS provides the following information. (1) Self-diagnosis: checks and displays diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). (2) Current data: checks the status of input/output signals. (3) Active test: checks system operating conditions. (4) Additional functions: in addition to control, such as zero point adjustment.
  2. Select the "Vehicle Model" and the system to be checked in order to inspect the vehicle with the scan tool.
  3. Select the "Current Data" menu to check the current input/output status. The input/output data for the sensors related to the MOSFET power can be checked.
  4. To perform a forced operation on the MOSFET power input factors, select "ACTUAL TEST".

REPLACEMENT

  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
  2. Remove the center fascia panel. (Refer to Instrument Panel - Center Fascia Panel)
  3. Disconnect the MOSFET connector (A), then remove the power MOSFET (B) after loosening the screws.
  4. To install, perform the removal procedure in reverse order.
