4. TROUBLESHOOTING
1) Overview
The FATC has a self-diagnosis function that can diagnose the system by itself. Before checking a
component, be sure to check the fault code by using the self-diagnosis function. The self-diagnosis
consists of 6 steps. The temperature control dial (step 2 to 5) and fan speed dial (step 6) are used to
enter each step of the self-diagnosis. The 6 steps of the self-diagnosis are:

▶ Step 1
- The VFD and all LED segments are checked for proper illumination.

▶ Step 2
- The sensors and air mix door are checked for proper operation.

▶ Step 3
- The position and condition of the air source door and mode door are checked.

▶ Step 4
- The actuator door position, fan speed and compressor operation are checked. Pressing the
defroster switch after entering step 4 changes the diagnosis mode as follows: 41 -> 42 -> 43 ->
44 -> 45 -> 46 -> 41.
 6810-01 01-9

▶ Step 5
- You can check that the temperature value from each temperature sensor is displayed properly in
this step. Pressing the defroster switch changes the temperature value that appears on the
display in the order as follows:

Ambient Interior Intake air

51 temperature temperature temperature display

▶ Step 6
- To enter the step 6 from 5, turn the fan speed dial lightly toward the right not using the
temperature control dial. In this step, you can decrease or increase by up to 3 degrees from the
temperature set on the A/C controller.

(2) Step 2
The sensors and air mix door are checked for proper operation in this step. When the step 2 is started,
the number "2", which indicates that the system is in the step 2, apprears on the display and the check
for sensors is performed. Once the check is done (for 10 to 20 sec.), the one digit number between 0
and 8 is added behind "2". "20" means there is no fault code. For the meaning of the rest of the
numbers, refer to the description below.

1. Turn temperature dial lightly toward right to enter step 2

(3) Step 3
In this step, you can check the position and condition of the air source door and mode door. To start step
3, turn the temperature control dial lightly toward the right and confirm that the number 3 appears on the
display. It takes several tens of seconds to finish the check. If there is no fault code, "30" is displayed.
And if there is a malfunction, the corresponding fault code is added as described in the step 2.

1. Turn temperature dial lightly toward

right to enter step 3

2. System starts sensor 3. Fault code for

check after "3" is sensor appears and
displayed blinks (30 is
displayed when
there is no fault)

Refer to the following table for the meaning of the fault code.

(4) Step 4
In this step, the door position of each actuator, fan speed and operation of the compressor are checked.
To enter this step, turn the temperature dial to the right in the step 3. The number, "41", appears on the
display as soon as the step 4 is started. Press the defroster switch to change the diagnosis mode.

Below table describes the detailed diagnosis items performed for each number. Check the
corresponding component for proper operation according to the table. The voltage values listed in the
table are the output voltage to operate the blower motor. The higher the voltage, the faster the fan speed
is.
 6810-01 01-13

(5) Step 5
In this step, the system checks the temperature sensors used to control the A/C. To enter this step, turn
the temperature dial to the right in the step 4. The ambient temperature appears on the display first and
the interior temperature appears next and the intake air temperature last. The display changes the
temperature value each time the defroster switch is pressed.

The fault code for the faulty sensor is not displayed. Therefore you should start the self-diagnosis to
check the system.
 6810-01 01-15

3) Trouble Diagnosis
(1) Duct Temperature Sensor
If the fault code for the duct temperature sensor (DTC 3) appears on the display, check the sensor as
follows:

A. Remove the duct temperature sensor and measure the resistance between the terminals of the
connector (specification: approx. 2.2 kW at 25℃). If the resistance value is extremely high or
low, replace the duct temperature sensor.
B. If the result is not as specified, replace the duct temperature sensor. If the result is as specified,
proceed to the next step.
C. Turn the ignition switch to ON position and measure the voltage between the connector of the FATC
controller and the duct temperature sensor (specification: approx. 2 V at 25℃).
D. If the voltage cannot be measured, check the wiring for open circuit. If the result is as specified,
replace the FATC controller.

(2) Power Transistor

If the fault code for the power transistor (DTC 6) is displayed, check as follows:
A. Turn the ignition switch to ON position.
B. Measure the voltage between the terminals of the blower motor while changing the fan speed from
the lowest level to the highest level.
C. The specified voltage value in each stage:

D. If the voltage is out of specified value, check the wiring for open circuit. If the wiring is intact, replace
the power transistor.

(3) Thermo AMP Sensor (Intake Air Sensor)

If the A/C is not turned on, check as follows:

A. Remove the thermo AMP and measure the voltage between the terminals no. 1 and 2 of the
connector.
B. Check if the voltage is approx. 12 V when the output is ON and 0 V when the output is OFF.
C. If the voltage value is not as specified, replace the thermo AMP. If the value is as specified, proceed
to the next step.
D. Turn the ignition switch to ON position and turn on the A/C by pressing the A/C button. And measure
the voltage between the terminals A12 and A11 of the FATC controller connector (specification:
approx. 12 V).
E. If the voltage cannot be measured, check the wiring for open circuit. If the result is not as specified,
replace the thermo AMP.
01-16

(4) Sun-load sensor

A. Remove the sun-load sensor and measure the current between the terminals with the sensor
exposed to direct sunlight.
B. Measure the current again in the shade. If this value is lower than the measured value in the
sunlight, the sensor is intact.
C. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
D. Measure the voltage between the terminals of the sun sensor at the FATC connector. (approx. 2.5 V
under sunlight and approx. 4.8 V under shade)
E. If the voltage cannot be measured, check the wiring for open circuit. If the result is not as specified,
replace the FATC controller.

5. A/C INPUT/OUTPUT DIAGRAM

Below diagram shows the input/output mapping between the components of FATC A/C and A/C
controller briefly.

▶ A/C compressor control by engine ECU

In case of current vehicle models, the system turns ON or OFF the compressor switch according to the
refrigerant pressure, ambient temperature and condenser temperature to protect the A/C circuits.
However, for the vehicles equipped with DI engine, the engine ECU turns off the A/C compressor under
below conditions, including those above.

1. Coolant temperature: 20℃ or less

2. Coolant temperature: 115℃ or more
3. For approx. 4 sec. after starting the engine
4. Engine speed: 650 rpm or less
5. Engine speed: 4,500 rpm or more
6. During abrupt acceleration for the vehicle equipped with manual transmission
 6810-01 01-25

6. A/C COOLING CYCLE

1) System Flow
- "Compression -> Condensation -> Expansion -> Evaporation"

2) Functions
(1) Compressor
- Condition: Gas
- Function: Circulates the refrigerant and increases the pressure and temperature for easier
evaporation.
(2) Condenser
- Condition: Gas/Liquid
- Function: Cools and condenses the refrigerant by using ambient air to liquefy it under high pressure.

(3) Receiver drier

- Condition: Gas/Liquid
- Function: Keeps the refrigerant free from moisture by separating/collecting the moisture from it.

(4) Expansion valve

- Condition: Liquid/Liquefied gas
- Function: Performs adiabatic expansion and flow control for easier evaporation.
(5) Evaporator
- Condition: Liquefied gas/Gas
- Function: Cools the air by absorbing the heat from the air around the evaporator.
01-26

3) Description for Each Cycle

(1) Compression
- The evaporated refrigerant in the evaporator enters to the compressor. And the refrigerant gas is
compressed until it can be liquefied at ambient temperature.
- Thus, the low refrigerant pressure is maintained so that the liquid refrigerant can be evaporated
actively at low temperature (around 0 ℃).
(2) Condensation
- The high pressure and high temperature gas (refrigerant) from the compressor is cooled down by the
fresh air entered into the condenser. Then, this gas is converted to liquid and collected in the receiver
drier.
The heat generated from the high pressure refrigerant is dissipated to the ambient air, and it is called
"heat of condensation".
- The heat of condensation is the summation of the heat of vaporization (heat that the refrigerant
absorbs from the inside of the vehicle) and the calorific value converted from the amount of work
which is needed to compress.
(3) Expansion
- The liquid refrigerant lowers the pressure making its evaporation easily accomplished.
This process (lowering the pressure to the level at which evaporation easily takes place before the
liquid refrigerant is sent to the evaporator) is called
"Adiabatic Expansion".
- During adiabatic expansion, the expansion valve lowers the pressure of the refrigerant and
determines the correct amount of refrigerant going into the air conditioning evaporator.
That is, the amount of heat, which is needed to stop the evaporation, is determined according to the
cooling load.
The expansion valve detects this and regulates the amount of the refrigerant exactly.
(4) Evaporator
- The refrigerant is converted from liquid to gas in the evaporator.
(The refrigerant in the form of fog in the evaporator is vaporized actively)
- At this time the refrigerant, in the form of liquid, absorbs the heat in the air which is need for
evaporation (latent heat) and is cooled down. Then the blower blows the cooled air inside the vehicle
to lower the temperature.
- There are liquid refrigerant from the expansion valve and evaporated refrigerant in the evaporator.
The evaporation temperature can be predicted from the evaporation pressure (i.e. relationship
- between saturation pressure and saturation temperature).
It is important to keep the pressure inside the evaporator low, so that the refrigerant is evaporated at
- low temperature to make sure the completely evaporated refrigerant is entered into the compressor.
