DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Load compensation inspection
- Start the engine and idle it.
- Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
- Verify that P0506 or P0507 is not displayed.
- If P0506 or P0507 are displayed, perform DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE .)
- Access the RPM PID.NOTE:
- Excludes temporary idle speed drop just after the loads are turned on.
- Verify that the engine speed is within the specification under each load condition.
- If load condition is not as specified, inspect the following:
- A/C switch and related wiring harness
(See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT INSPECTION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER] .)
(See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT INSPECTION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER] .)
- Fan switch and related wiring harness
(See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT INSPECTION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER] .)
(See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT INSPECTION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER] .)
- A/C switch and related wiring harness
- If load condition is not as specified, inspect the following:
