~1min read
MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo, MZR 2.5

1. Install the manifold gauge.

2. Verify the high-pressure side reading of the manifold gauge.

3. Measure the terminal voltage of the climate control unit.

  • 1C, 1E and 2J

4. Verify that below graph as measure the terminal voltage 2J.

5. Follow the climate control unit inspection when measure the other terminal voltage..

  • Terminal 1E: 1.0 V or less

  • Terminal 1C: Approx. 5 V (Ignition switch on)

    • If the each voltage is not normal, inspect the related wiring harness.

      • If there is any malfunction, replace the related wiring harness.

      • If wiring harness is normal, replace the refrigerant pressure sensor.

1. Install the manifold gauge.

2. Verify the high-pressure side reading of the manifold gauge.

3. Measure the terminal voltage of the PCM.

  • 2BB, 2AX and 2AJ

4. Verify that below graph as measure the terminal voltage 2AX.

5. Follow the PCM inspection when measure the other terminal voltage..

  • Terminal 2BB: 1.0 V or less

  • Terminal 2AJ: Approx. 5 V (Ignition switch on)

    • If the each voltage is not normal, inspect the related wiring harness.

      • If there is any malfunction, replace the related wiring harness.
