*a Component without harness connected
(Air Conditioning Amplifier Assembly)- - - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H64-3 (RBUG) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω - Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H64-2 (RBBU) - H64-3 (RBUG) Ignition switch off 11 to 14 V - Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.
Item Content Tester Connection H64-7 (RBUS) - H64-3 (RBUG) Tool Setting 2 V/DIV., 20 μs/DIV. Condition Ignition switch ON OK
The waveform displays properly.
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
