Result:
NG
REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL ASSEMBLY
- Replace the air conditioning amplifier assembly with a new or known good one.
- INSPECT DEICER RELAY
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 3 - 5 Auxiliary battery voltage applied between terminals 1 and 2 Below 1 Ω 3 - 5 Auxiliary battery voltage not applied between terminals 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPLACE DEICER RELAY
Result:
OK
See step 5
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DEICER RELAY - POWER SUPPLY)
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
*a DEICER Relay Holder Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition DEICER relay holder terminal 2 - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V DEICER relay holder terminal 3 - Body ground Ignition switch off*1
Always*211 to 14 V - *1: for HV Model
- *2: for Gasoline Model
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 6
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DEICER RELAY - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the H62 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
*a DEICER Relay Holder - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition DEICER relay holder terminal 1 - H62-22 (FDEF) Always Below 1 Ω DEICER relay holder terminal 1 or H62-22 (FDEF) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 7
- Disconnect the H62 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
- CHECK AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY
- Connect the H62 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
*a Component with harness connected
(Air Conditioning Amplifier Assembly)Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H62-22 (FDEF) - H62-17 (GND) Ignition switch ON, Front wiper deicer switch on Below 1 V H62-22 (FDEF) - H62-17 (GND) Ignition switch ON, Front wiper deicer switch off 11 to 14 V Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY
Result:
OK
See step 8
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DEICER RELAY - WINDSHIELD DEICER WIRE (WINDSHIELD GLASS))
- Disconnect A60 windshield deicer wire (windshield glass) connector.
*a DEICER Relay Holder - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition DEICER relay holder terminal 5 - A60-1 (B) Always Below 1 Ω DEICER relay holder terminal 5 - A60-3 (B2) Always Below 1 Ω A60-1 (B) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ higher A60-3 (B2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ higher DEICER relay holder terminal 5 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 9
- Disconnect A60 windshield deicer wire (windshield glass) connector.
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WINDSHIELD DEICER WIRE (WINDSHIELD GLASS) - BODY GROUND)
