If there is any vehicle malfunction complaint lodged by a customer, perform malfunction diagnosis according to the
troubleshooting procedure.
Troubleshooting Procedure


*1
CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FLOW .
Action for non-repeatable malfunction
If the malfunction does not recur, verify the malfunction cause by performing the following actions:
Based on the repair order form, attempt to drive the vehicle or perform tests to replicate the
malfunction, record the data (such as CAN circuit voltage) at that time, and detect the malfunction
cause.
Refer to [Determining Open Circuit Location] based on the recorded DTC, shake the wiring harness or
connector of the electrical component which is suspected to be the cause of the malfunction, and
inspect for any changes in CAN system voltage or occurrence of any DTCs.
Inspect the female terminals on the connector of the electric component which is suspected to be the
cause of the malfunction for poor connection.

2013 - CX-5 - HVAC
Use the following flowchart to verify the cause of the problem.
NOTE:
When inspecting past malfunction codes, inspect only the DTCs that were indicated before beginning the
inspection. A mis-diagnosis could occur as a result of new DTCs being added while performing an inspection
by disconnecting related parts or connectors.
When DTCs of the present malfunction are no longer output after present or past malfunctions or both have
been repaired, be sure to clear the past malfunction from memory to prevent repair of malfunctions that
have already been repaired.

NOTE:
If power from the battery is interrupted, the heater control unit will go into a non-
configured state because the memory for the configuration information is erased. If the
ignition is switched ON (engine off) at this time, DTC U2300:55 is detected.
Normally, the configuration is re-performed within 6 s after the ignition is switched ON

(engine off).
After performing the configuration, DTC U2300:55 will be cleared if the ignition is switched
ON (engine off) after the ignition is switched off.

8 Noise while operating A/C system.
DESCRIPTION Noise from magnetic clutch, A/C compressor, hose or refrigerant line.
Magnetic clutch operation noise
A/C compressor vane noise

POSSIBLE CAUSE
A/C compressor slippage noise
Hose or refrigerant line interference noise
*
If there is gas leakage, air enters into the A/C system. The desiccant within the
receiver/drier absorbs the moisture from the air and becomes saturated. If the A/C system
is used in this condition, the inside of the A/C compressor will begin to rust due to this
moisture, which may cause lock up or noise to occur. Therefore, replacement of the
receiver/drier is necessary.

8 Noise while operating A/C system.
DESCRIPTION Noise from magnetic clutch, A/C compressor, hose or refrigerant line.
Magnetic clutch operation noise
A/C compressor vane noise

POSSIBLE CAUSE
A/C compressor slippage noise
Hose or refrigerant line interference noise
*
If there is gas leakage, air enters into the A/C system. The desiccant within the
receiver/drier absorbs the moisture from the air and becomes saturated. If the A/C system
is used in this condition, the inside of the A/C compressor will begin to rust due to this
moisture, which may cause lock up or noise to occur. Therefore, replacement of the
receiver/drier is necessary.

Handling Refrigerant
Avoid breathing air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor. Exposure may

irritate eyes, nose and throat. Also, due to environmental concerns, we urge use
of recovery/recycling/recharging equipment when draining HFC-134a from the
air conditioning system. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
Do not perform pressure test or leak test for HFC-134a service equipment and/or
vehicle air conditioning system using compressed air. Some mixtures of air and
HFC-134a have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These
mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or property damage. Additional health and
safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manufacturers.
Do not allow the refrigerant to leak near fire or any kind of heat. A poisonous gas
may be generated if the refrigerant gas contacts fire or heat such as from
cigarettes and heaters. When carrying out any operation that can cause
refrigerant leakage, extinguish or remove the above‐mentioned heat sources and
maintain adequate ventilation.
Handling liquid refrigerant is dangerous. A drop of it on the skin can result in

localized frostbite. When handling the refrigerant, wear gloves and safety
goggles. If refrigerant splashes into the eyes, immediately wash them with clean
water and consult a doctor.
Storing Refrigerant
The refrigerant container is highly pressurized. If it is subjected to high heat, it

could explode, scattering metal fragments and liquid refrigerant that can
seriously injure you. Store the refrigerant at temperatures below 40 °C {104 °F}.

Handling Insufficient Refrigerant Level
If an insufficient refrigerant level is detected at troubleshooting, do not charge

(add) the refrigerant. Because an accurate amount of refrigerant cannot be
determined from the pressure indicated on the manifold gauge, never charge the
refrigerant. If there is too much or too little refrigerant from the refilling, there
may be secondary problems such as damage to the refrigerant cycle parts, or a
decrease of cooling performance. Therefore, if it is determined that the
refrigerant level is insufficient, completely remove refrigerant from the
refrigerant cycle and refill with refrigerant to the specified amount.
Handling Compressor Oil
Use only the following specified compressor oil for this vehicle. Using compressor
oil (PAG oil) other than specified compressor oil can damage the A/C
compressor.
FD46XG
Do not spill compressor oil on the vehicle. A drop of compressor oil on the vehicle
surface can eat away at the paint. If oil gets on the vehicle, wipe it off
immediately.
Compressor oil (PAG oil) has a higher moisture absorption efficiency than the
previously used mineral oil. If moisture mixes with the compressor oil, the
refrigerant system could be damaged. Therefore, install caps immediately after
using the compressor oil or removing refrigerant system parts to prevent
moisture absorption.
If the refrigerant gas is completely discharged from the system for reasons such
as a malfunction during A/C operation, repair or replace the malfunctioning part,
charge the refrigerant to the specified amount and always add 60 ml {60 cc, 2.0
fl oz} of compressor. If the compressor oil is not adequately replenished, the A/C
compressor may quickly deteriorate, abnormal noise may develop, cooling
performance may be affected or, in the worst case, the A/C compressor may
seize.

CAUTION:
Do not use a different type of refrigerant or charge beyond the specified level. Otherwise,
cooling ability will be lowered and the A/C compressor could be damaged.
Charging Recycled HFC-134a Refrigerant
1. Connect an HFC-134a recovery/recycling/recharging device to the vehicle and follow the device
manufacturer’s instructions.
Charging Preparation
1. Install the manifold gauge set.
2. Connect the tap pin side of the charging hose to the air purge valve of the manifold gauge.
3. Connect the vacuum pump hose to the center joint of the manifold gauge.
4. Connect the vacuum pump hose to the vacuum pump.

5. Connect the charging hose to the refrigerant tank.
6. Place the refrigerant tank on the scale.
Regular amount of refrigerant (approx. quantity)
465—515 g {16.5—18.1 oz}
Evacuation
1. Open all the valves of the manifold gauge.
CAUTION:
Close the manifold gauge valve immediately after stopping the vacuum pump. If the
valve is left open, the vacuum pump oil will back flow into the refrigeration cycle
and cause a decrease in the efficiency of the air conditioner.
2. Start the vacuum pump and let it operate for 15 min.
3. Verify that high‐ and low-pressure side readings of the manifold gauge are at –101 kPa {–1.03
kgf/cm2, –14.6 psi}. Close each valve of the manifold gauge.
Airtightness Check
1. Stop the vacuum pump and wait for 5 min.
2. Check the high‐ and low-pressure side readings of the manifold gauge.

If the reading has changed, inspect for leakage and go to Evacuation. (See
Evacuation.)
If the reading has not changed, go to Charging New R-134a Refrigerant. (See
Charging New HFC-134a Refrigerant.)
Charging New HFC-134a Refrigerant
1. Open the valve of the refrigerant tank.
2. Weigh the refrigerant tank to charge the suitable amount of refrigerant.
WARNING:
If the refrigerant system is charged with a large amount of refrigerant when

inspecting for gas leakage, and if any leakage should occur, the refrigerant will be
released into the atmosphere. In order to prevent the accidental release of
refrigerant which can destroy the ozone layer in the stratosphere, follow the proper
procedures and charge with only a small amount of refrigerant when inspecting for
gas leakage.
If charging the system with refrigerant using service cans, running the engine with
the high-pressure side valve open is dangerous. Pressure within the service cans will
increase and the cans could explode, scattering metal fragments and liquid
refrigerant that can seriously injure you. Therefore, do not open the high-pressure
side valve while the engine is running.
3. Open the low-pressure side valve of the manifold gauge.
4. When the high-pressure side reading increases to 0.098 MPa {1.0 kgf/cm2, 14 psi}, close the
low-pressure side valve of the manifold gauge.

5. Inspect for leakage from the cooler pipe/hose connections using the gas leak tester.
If there is no leakage, go to Step 7.
If leakage is found at a loose joint, tighten the joint, then go to next step.
6. Inspect for leakage again.
If there is no leakage after tightening the joint, go to next step.
If there is still a leakage at the same joint, discharge the refrigerant and then repair
the joint. Repeat the charging procedure from evacuation.
WARNING:
7. Open the low-pressure side valve of the manifold gauge and charge with refrigerant until the
weight of refrigerant tank has decreased 250 g {8.82 oz} from the amount in Step 2.
8. Close the low-pressure side valve of the manifold gauge.

WARNING:
9. Start the engine and actuate the A/C compressor.
10. Open the low-pressure side valve of the manifold gauge and charge with refrigerant until the
weight of the refrigerant tank has decreased regular amount from the amount in Step 2.
11. Close the low-pressure side valve of the manifold gauge and the valve of the refrigerant tank.
12. Stop the engine and A/C compressor.
Leak Test
1. Inspect for leakage using the gas leak tester.
If there is no leakage, go to Step 3.
If leakage is found at a loose joint, tighten the joint, then go to the next step.
2. Inspect for leakage again.
If there is no leakage after tightening the joint, go to the next step.
If there is still leakage at the same joint, discharge the refrigerant and then repair
the joint. Repeat the charging procedure from evacuation.

3. Disconnect the quick couplers from the charging valves.
4. Install the caps to the charging valves.
