Inspection Procedure

  1. INSPECT FUSE (GAUGE, HTR) 
    1. Remove the GAUGE fuse from the driver side junction block.
    2. Remove the HTR H-fuse from the engine room junction block.
    3. Measure the resistance of the fuses.

      Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω 

    NG : REPLACE FUSE 

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. INSPECT HEATER RELAY (Marking: HTR) 
    1. Remove the heater relay from the driver side junction block.
    2. Measure the resistance of the relay.

      Standard resistance 

      TERMINALS RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher
      3 - 5 Below 1 Ω (When battery voltage applied to terminals 1 and 2)
      3 - 4 Below 1 Ω
      3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher (When battery voltage applied to terminals 1 and 2)

    NG : REPLACE HEATER RELAY

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (BATTERY - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER) 
    1. Disconnect the A8 amplifier connector.
    2. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

      Standard voltage 

      TERMINALS VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONS

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A8-7 (HR) - Body ground Power switch ON (IG) 10 to 14 V

    NG : REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  4. CHECK AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER (HR VOLTAGE) 
    1. Remove the air conditioning amplifier with connectors still connected.
    2. Measure the voltage of the connector.

      TERMINALS VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONS

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A8-7 (HR) - Body ground Power switch OFF Blower switch position ON Below 1 V
      A8-7 (HR) - Body ground Power switch ON (IG) Blower switch position ON Below 1 V
      A8-7 (HR) - Body ground Power switch ON (IG) Blower switch position OFF 10 to 14 V

    NG : REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER 

    OK : PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
