- CHECK AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY NOTE:
When inspecting the air conditioning amplifier assembly, be careful not to cause a short.
- Disconnect the z21 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
*a Component without harness connected
(Air Conditioning Amplifier Assembly)- - - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition z21-2 (BUS G) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω - Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition z21-4 (B BUS) - z21-2 (BUS G) Ignition switch off 11 to 14 V - Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.
Item Content Tester Connection z21-3 (BUS) - z21-2 (BUS G) Tool Setting 2 V/DIV., 20 μs/DIV. Condition Ignition switch ON OK
The waveform displays properly.
