Problem Symptoms Table

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Toyota Tacoma. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check the suspected areas for each problem symptom in the order given in PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  and proceed to the relevant reference.

HINT:

Inspect the fuses and relays before inspecting the suspected areas shown in PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE .

If the malfunction still exists even after checking and confirming that all the suspected areas are normal, replace the A/C amplifier.
