Self-diagnosis process
How to read self-diagnostic code
During the self-diagnosis, the corresponding fault code flickers on the setup temperature display panel every 0.5 second and will show two figures. Fault codes are displayed in numerical format
Display | Fail description |
0 | Normal |
11 | In-car sensor open |
12 | In-car sensor short |
13 | Ambient temperature sensor open |
14 | Ambient temperature sensor short |
17 | Evaporator temperature sensor open |
18 | Evaporator temperature sensor short |
19 | Temperature door potentiometer open/short (Driver) |
20 | Temperature door potentiometer fault (Driver) |
21 | Mode door potentiometer open/short |
22 | Mode door potentiometer fault |
25 | Intake door potentiometer open/short |
26 | Intake door potentiometer fault |
32 | Temperature door potentiometer open/short (Passenger) |
33 | Temperature door potentiometer fault (Passenger) |
43 | Defog door potentiometer open/short |
44 | Defog door potentiometer fault |
45 | APT (A/C Pressure Transducer) CAN signal fault |
47 | RPM CAN signal fault |
48 | Vehicle speed CAN signal fault |
49 | Engine coolant temperature CAN signal fault |
50 | Cluster ionizer fault |
51 | Auto defogging sensor communication and sensor input fault |
Fault code display
Continuance operation: DTC code is none or one.
Continuance operation: DTC code is two or more.
STEP operation
Normal or one fault code is same as a continuance operation.
DTC code is two or more.
If fault codes are displayed during the check, inspect malfunction causes by referring to fault codes.
Fail safe
No | Sensor | Fail condition | Fail safe function |
