SOURCE: AIR CONDITIONING AND CENTRAL LOCKING

other than gas, it could be a lot of things.

could be an electrical problem, fuse blown, switch not working, fan not working.

could be mechanical problem, compressor stuck, expansion valve won't open, dryer clogged.

regarding the door lock, open the door panel and check the vacuum valve in the door, could be the problem. check also the line going to the door, it may have a leak. check the linkage, it could be bent or would not work properly.

SOURCE: Radio, clock, interior light and central locking not working

This is as a result of a short occurring most likely in the radio harness.

It happened me while working on a customers car. In my case checked all fuses and they all appeared fine, both those under the hood/bonnet and those underneath the steering wheel.

After studying the workshop electrical schemmatics for the car it appears that the clock, interior lights, central locking receiver and radio permanent live/battery are all on the one line.

In effect damage had occurred after the internal fuse panel, therefore all fuses were ok and supplying power across them, but at some point after there was a break in the wire.

However you DO NOT need to remove dash and or replace harnesses to rectify.

Look at the fuse panel underneath the steering wheel. Slot 18 (bottom RHS) and you will see in raised plastic 'BACK UP'. Inserting a 10A fuse here will restore the interior lights, radio, clock and your central locking.

There is a small plastic piece in the way which prevents a fuse going in. Simply use a thin pair of pliers, scissors or a screwdriver (or similar tool) to break this and all pieces of it away until you are able to insert the 10A mini blade fuse.

Problem Sorted!

(I believe the fact this back up exists is because the designers of electrical system at mitsibushi realised it had shortcomings or this would be a potential problem - and included the back up for such an occurence)

    Door panel lights wont turn off

    push the door switches in by hand and see if the lights go out. Here's some diagnostic info:

    Vehicles may be equipped with either a generic electronic module (GEM) or a central timer module (CTM) depending on vehicle options.
    • Vehicles with 4-wheel drive or the power group option will be equipped with a GEM.
    • Vehicles with 2-wheel drive and no power group option will be equipped with a CTM.
    Courtesy Lamps The GEM and the CTM illuminate the interior lamps when any door is open or ajar. The interior lamps are: the interior lamp, the cargo lamp and the door courtesy lamp. The courtesy lamps will shut off when:
    • The doors are closed and the illuminated entry (GEM only) feature is not active.
    • The vehicle speed is greater than 15 mph (24 km/h). The interior lamps will not be reactivated until the vehicle speed is less than 10 mph (16 km/h) and a new door open warning lamp switch signal is received (GEM only).
    The system inputs to the GEM/CTM are as follows:
    • The door open warning lamp switches. (Grounded when door is ajar; an open circuit when the door is closed.)
    • The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) input. (Sinusoid Wave: 0.7V-20V, 2.2 Hz/MPH [1.37 Hz/km/h] [GEM only].)
    The system output to the GEM/CTM is as follows:
    • The interior lamp relay coil output. (Grounded when activated; open circuit when deactivated.)
    Interior Lamp Relay The GEM and the CTM control the interior lamps and illuminated entry function with the interior lamp relay.
    The relay is activated by applying ground to the relay coil through GEM C267-15, and is deactivated by removing the ground signal.
    Panel Dimmer Switch The panel dimmer switch is integrated into the headlamp switch and controls the interior lamps by activating the interior lamp relay.
    Illuminated Entry (GEM Only) The GEM illuminates the interior lamps when an unlock signal is received from the remote anti-theft personality (RAP) module. The illuminated entry feature will be canceled when any of the following conditions are met:
    • 25 seconds have elapsed since the illuminated entry feature was activated and the courtesy lamp feature is not activated.
    • The GEM receives a request from the RAP module (remote transmitter lock button pressed) and the courtesy lamp feature is not activated.
    • The ignition is in the RUN or START position and the courtesy lamp feature is not activated.
    The illuminated entry inputs are:
    • RAP illuminated entry request. (Grounded pulse of varying length.)
    • Ignition switch in the RUN position. (Battery voltage on both the RUN and RUN/ACC inputs.)
    The illuminated entry outputs are:
    • Interior lamp relay coil output. (Grounded when activated; an open circuit when deactivated.)
    RAP Module The RAP module sends a signal to the GEM on the illuminated entry request circuit to indicate a request to turn the illuminated entry feature on or off. Circuit 1013 (BR/LG) is normally sent 12 volts by the GEM. The RAP module shorts this circuit to ground with a pulse of either of the following lengths:
    • 200 ms pulse from RAP receiver assembly requests illuminated entry ON (unlock button pressed).
    • 300 ms pulse from RAP receiver assembly requests illuminated entry OFF (lock button pressed).
    GEM Sleep Mode The GEM and the CTM sleep mode deactivate all outputs to conserve battery power. Sleep mode is entered when the ignition has not entered the RUN or ACC position and 45 minutes has elapsed since the last wake-up input was received. In this mode, GEM current consumption is reduced to 5.0 mA or less. During sleep mode the GEM monitors the following wake-up inputs:
    • Both front door open warning lamp switches.
    • Ignition switch in the key-in, ACC and RUN position.
    • RAP illuminated entry request.
    The GEM sleep mode outputs are:
    • None. (All circuits are deactivated during sleep mode.)
    If a change in any of the above inputs occur while the GEM is asleep, the GEM will wake up and monitor all of its inputs and have the ability to activate any of its outputs.
    The following components are under the control of the battery saver relay:
    • Interior lamp.
    • Engine compartment lamp.
    • Glove compartment lamp.
    • Panel dimmer switch.
    • Interior lamp relay.
    The battery saver relay becomes active (relay coil is energized) when the GEM is in the awake mode, and is deactivated (relay coil is de-energized) in the sleep mode. The battery saver will remain active until the ignition switch is removed from the ACC or RUN position and 45 minutes have passed since the last active input was received (see sleep mode inputs). At that time, the relay will be deactivated and power to the above circuits will terminate.
    The battery saver inputs are the GEM sleep mode inputs.
    The battery saver output is the battery saver relay.
    Inspection and Verification — GEM/CTM
    1. The interior lighting system is a generic electronic module (GEM)/central timer module (CTM) controlled system. Refer to Section 419-10 for additional information regarding GEM/CTM diagnostic strategies.
    1. Verify the customer concern by operating the interior lamps.
    1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.


    Visual Inspection Chart Mechanical Electrical
    • Switch(es)
    • Fuse(s) 14 (15A), 15 (5A), 4 (5A), 8(5A), and 103 (50A).
    • Wiring harness
    • Loose or corroded connector(s)
    • Circuitry open/shorted
    • Bulb(s)

    1. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel, and select the vehicle to be tested from the NGS menu. If the NGS does not communicate with the vehicle:
      • check that the program card is correctly installed.
      • check the connections to the vehicle.
      • check the ignition switch position.

    Fuse or what

    Your multifunction switch on the steering column controls your exterior lights. The GEM module controls the interior lights and other stuff. If bad, it would not blow fuses. WHich fuse blows?
    Your Ford dealer might be familiar with this issue, so call the service dept and ask them and get a quote. It may be wiring.

    • The high beams are inoperative
    • Circuitry.
    • Multifunction switch.
    • Go To Pinpoint Test C .


    --------------------------------------------------------------
    Principles of Operation
    Generic Electronic Module (GEM) The generic electronic module (GEM) receives inputs from the following:
    • door ajar switches
    • liftgate ajar switch (wagon)
    • liftgate glass switch (wagon)
    • headlamp switch
    • keyless entry keypad switches
    • the powertrain control module (PCM) (vehicle speed signal)
    • ignition switch
    • remote keyless entry transmitter
    The GEM uses these inputs to control the output to the battery saver relay and interior lamp relay. Both relays are integral to the central junction box (CJB) and cannot be accessed directly.
    Interior Lighting Systems The GEM grounds the battery saver relay and interior lamp relay coils when any door ajar switch or the headlamp switch is closed. The interior lamp relay then supplies power to the interior lamp circuit. Vehicle speed must be less than 15 kph (9 mph) for the GEM to ground the interior lamp relay. The interior lamps will remain illuminated for a period of up to 25 seconds after all doors are closed or until the ignition is switched from the OFF position, or the GEM receives a vehicle speed signal. Actuating the interior lights from the headlamp switch will operate at any time.
    Illuminated Entry Illuminated entry is activated when a keyless entry keypad switch provides ground on the GEM input or when the GEM receives an unlock signal from the remote keyless entry key fob. The GEM then provides ground to the battery saver and interior lamp relay coils. Illuminated entry is deactivated when the GEM receives a lock signal from the remote keyless entry key fob or if the GEM receives ground inputs from the keyless entry keypad switch lock code. Illuminated entry will also be deactivated when the GEM receives input voltage from the ignition switch.
    Battery Saver The battery saver is activated when the GEM is not receiving voltage input from the ignition switch (off position). The GEM will then provide ground to the battery saver relay coil for a maximum of 30 minutes depending on the state of the interior lamp switch inputs to the GEM. The energized battery saver relay switches voltage to the demand lamp circuit and the interior lamp relay coil. After time-out, the GEM removes ground to the battery saver relay disabling the demand lamp circuit.
    Puddle Lamps The puddle lamp relay operates reverse from the battery saver relay and the interior lamp relay. The puddle lamp relay coil receives voltage when the ignition switch is in the START or RUN position, which disables the circuit to the puddle lamps.
    Inspection and Verification
    1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
    1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.

    Corolla 1998 stereo, lighter, boot and roof light, door remote not working

    I would be concerned that you may have wired the stereo incorrectly, causing this shorting problem. I suggest that you take it to a stereo installer to check the wiring, as if it is wired correctly the stereo should at least light up with a new fuse in there. Unless the new fuse blew straight away when you put it in. The central lock is likely to be thrown off by the fact that the interior light isn't working, as it uses this input to figure out if the doors are open or shut. Check interior light fuse condition, and get the wiring you've done checked, would be my advice.
