1. Disconnect the K55 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   A17-2 (+) - K55-13 (TAM)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   A17-1 (-) - K55-2 (SG-2)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   A17-2 (+) or K55-13 (TAM) - Other terminals and body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
   A17-1 (-) or K55-2 (SG-2) - Other terminals and body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

Result: 

OK 

See step  4

1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and wait for at least 90 seconds.
   NOTE:

   • After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

     Refer to INITIALIZATION [03/2017 - 06/2017] , or refer to INITIALIZATION [06/2017 - 08/2018] , or refer to INITIALIZATION [08/2018 - 09/2019] , or refer to INITIALIZATION [09/2019 - 03/2020] , or refer to INITIALIZATION [03/2020 - 10/2020] , or refer to INITIALIZATION [10/2020 - 08/2022] , or refer to INITIALIZATION [08/2022 - ]

   • When the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, initialize the servo motors after the cable is reconnected.

     Refer to PRECAUTION [03/2017 - 06/2017] , or refer to PRECAUTION [06/2017 - 10/2020] , or refer to PRECAUTION [10/2020 - ]

   HINT: 

   The air conditioning amplifier assembly stores the value of the last ambient temperature detected by the thermistor assembly before the ignition switch was turned off for up to 1 hour after the ignition switch is turned off. It is necessary to clear this value.

2. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
3. Measure and make a note of the ambient temperature near the thermistor assembly using a thermometer.
   NOTE:

   • Perform the following procedure with the ignition switch ON.
   • Wait at least 6 minutes for the values of the thermistor assembly and thermometer to become stable before taking a measurement.
   • Hold the thermometer 50 mm (1.97 in.) from the thermistor assembly with its sensing portion at the same height and perpendicular to the thermistor assembly.
   • Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensing portion may change the resistance value.
   • When measuring the ambient temperature with a thermometer, do not move the thermometer, touch the sensing portion or allow it to contact the vehicle body.
4. Make a note of the ambient temperature displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly.
5. Compare the value of the ambient temperature measured by the thermometer and the thermistor assembly.

   OK

   The value of the ambient temperature measured by the thermometer and the thermistor assembly are almost the same.
