*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Radiator Shutter Sub-assembly) - Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A53-4 (+B) - Body ground Ignition switch off 11 to 14 V - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A53-1 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 3
- Disconnect the A53 radiator shutter sub-assembly connector.
- INSPECT RADIATOR SHUTTER SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the z20 radiator shutter sub-assembly connector.
*a Component without harness connected
(Radiator Shutter Sub-assembly) - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A53-4 (+B) - z20-1 (+B) Always Below 1 Ω A53-4 (+B) or z20-1 (+B) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher A53-1 (GND) - z20-3 (GND) Always Below 1 Ω A53-1 (GND) or z20-3 (GND) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPLACE RADIATOR SHUTTER SUB-ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [12/2019 - 09/2020] , or refer to REMOVAL [09/2020 - 10/2021]
Result:
OK
See step 4
- Disconnect the z20 radiator shutter sub-assembly connector.
- READ VALUE USING GTS
- According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test to open and close the grille shutter.
