- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL ASSEMBLY - POWER SOURCE AND BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the G23 air conditioning control assembly connector.
- Measure the voltage and resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition G23-16 (+B) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V G23-8 (IG+) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V G23-7 (ACC) - Body ground Engine switch on (ACC) 11 to 14 V Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition G23-4 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 2
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL ASSEMBLY - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the G39 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition G23-3 (LIN1) - G39-14 (LIN1) Always Below 1 Ω G23-3 (LIN1) or G39-14 (LIN1) - Other terminals and body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 3
- INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY
- Connect the G39 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.
Item Content Terminal No. G39-14 (LIN1) - Body ground Tool Setting 2 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. Condition Engine switch on (IG) OK
Waveform is similar to that shown in the illustration.
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
