      1. Standard (Check for short): 
      RESISTANCE CHECK

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      CLK (H16-17) or CLK (I11-4) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      ITE (H16-14) or TOECU (I11-2) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      ETI (H15-24) or TOINV (I11-3) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      STB (H15-25) or STB (I11-5) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
    7. Reconnect the A/C inverter connector.
    8. Reconnect the HV control ECU connectors.

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
