See step 2
- Perform the Active Test according to the display on the GTS.
- CHECK AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY NOTE:
When inspecting the air conditioning amplifier assembly, be careful not to cause a short.
Pre-procedure1
- Disconnect the z18 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
Procedure1
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
*a Component without harness connected
(Air Conditioning Amplifier Assembly)- - Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition z18-2 (BUS G) - 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 z18-4 (B BUS) - z18-2 (BUS G) Ignition switch off 11 to 14 V Result
Proceed to OK NG Post-procedure1
- None
Result:
NG
REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY
Refer to REMOVAL [11/2023 - ]
Result:
OK
See step 3
- Disconnect the z18 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
- CHECK AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY NOTE:
When inspecting the air conditioning amplifier assembly, be careful not to cause a short.
Pre-procedure1
- Disconnect the z18 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
Procedure1
- Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.
*a Component without harness connected
(Air Conditioning Amplifier Assembly)- - Item Content Tester Connection z18-3 (BUS) - z18-2 (BUS G) Tool Setting 2 V/DIV., 20 μs/DIV. Condition Ignition switch ON OK
The waveform displays properly.
