Inspection Procedure

  1. INSPECT FUSE (ECU-IG LH, GLW PLG1, GLW PLG2) 
    1. Remove the ECU-IG LH fuse from the cowl side junction block LH.
    2. Remove the GLW PLG1 and GLW PLG2 H-fuse from the engine room No. 1 junction block.
    3. Measure the resistance of the fuses.

    Standard resistance 

    RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

    Tester Item Condition Specified Condition
    ECU-IG LH fuse Always Below 1 Ω
    GLW PLG1 H-fuse Always Below 1 Ω
    GLW PLG2 H-fuse Always Below 1 Ω

    NG: REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER 
    1. Remove the A/C amplifier with its connectors still connected.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. While the PTC operating conditions are met (engine is running at 850 rpm or more, ambient temperature is 3°C (37.4°F) or less, engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or less, A/C switch setting is MAX HOT), turn the blower switch to the Lo setting.
    4. Measure the voltage of the connectors.

      Standard voltage
