Hi Guys,
I have just done the EMV A/C diagnostics test and this is the only screen that came up during the test.
Do we have any Japanese language readers who to tell me what this screen says.

It's a 400km round trip to find anyone who may be able to fix it so I want to know as much as I can before I make that commitment.

The A/C switch blinks.
I get heater hot air through the vents when the A/C is on and when anything is on i.e. just fans only, recirc or fresh air,
So the A/C compressor and clutch are Ok but not working. The Gas might be low. But filling made no difference.
This is probably not enough information but I am looking forward to some feed back.
I like to have an idea if a technician knows his stuff. In the past I've spent thousands unnecessarily because techs thought they knew but didn't.

That screen is simply saying the battery is low (because the engine is off).

You need to re run the test a few times to get the correct screen to pop up.

AC compressor does not provide hot air, so I would suspect that the AC compressor/clutch is faulty - it normally is with the blinking led fault.

Thanks Luke,
Saved me bailing up a Japanese tourist at the local bus stop.
I just ran a test where the it appeared to work but went on for over 5 minutes and finally I got the above screen, so I went for a drive to charge the battery and ran the test and same screen again.
The hot air is from the heating system due to the
climate control allowing too much hot air in the mix or a solenoid or valve is open at the wrong time. The compressor and clutch both work and have been tested independently but the power to the clutch is shut off. Probable cause is the pressure switch, however I want to know that it is that before I get someone to fix it. Experience has taught me that many trades/business people in North Queensland display 2 traits.
If they do not know they will want replace everything when a loose electrical connection was the probable cause and will charge for a whole new system when it was only a loose wire.
I haven't got a reliable aircon tech, I need to know before engage one I. Most can regas only.
