      Result

      Result Proceed to
      All of the damper servo motors do not operate A
      Any of the damper servo motors does not operate B
      All of the damper servo motors operate C

    Result: 

    REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS ASSEMBLY. Refer to  DISASSEMBLY [10/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [10/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY 
    NOTE:

    When inspecting the air conditioning amplifier assembly, be careful not to cause a short.

    Pre-procedure1

    • Disconnect the z1 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
    • Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
