  3. INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY 
    GTY889441Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
    *a Component with harness connected
    (Air Conditioning Amplifier Assembly)
    NOTE:

    When inspecting the air conditioning amplifier assembly, do not bring the tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.

    1. Disconnect the z9 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
    2. Measure the voltage and resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z9-4 (B BUS) - Body ground Power switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z9-2 (BUS G) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
    3. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    4. Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.
      Item Content
      Terminal No. z9-3 (BUS) - z9-2 (BUS G)
      Tool Setting 2 V/DIV., 2 ms./DIV.
      Condition Power switch on (IG)

      OK

      Waveform is similar to that shown in the illustration.

      HINT: 

      The waveform varies with the blower speed.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
