Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Inspection Procedure
HINT:
Start the engine before inspection. Check the IG1 relay or battery if the engine does not start.
If the engine still does not start, see the SFI system (see HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING or HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING ).
- INSPECT FUSE (HTR)
- Remove the HTR fuse from the driver side J/B.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in HTR FUSE RESISTANCE
.
Standard:
HTR FUSE RESISTANCETester item Condition Specified condition HTR fuse Always Below 1 Ω
- NG: CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESS AND COMPONENTS CONNECTED FAILURE FUSE
- OK: Go to Next Step.
- INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER (IG+ - BODY GROUND)
- Remove the A/C amplifier assy with the connectors still connected.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER (IG+ - BODY GROUND) VOLTAGE
.
Standard:
AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER (IG+ - BODY GROUND) VOLTAGETester connection Condition Specified condition A11-19 (IG+) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 10 to 14 V
- NG: Go to step 3
- OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE (SEE TERMINALS OF ECU )
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (A/C AMPLIFIER ASSY - BATTERY) (SEE
ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE
)
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in Fig 2
.
