1

  1. Disconnect the automatic temperature control (ATC) controller connectors A and B.
  2. Disconnect the connectors from the power transistor.
  3. Measure the resistance circuit GY/BK from terminal 4 of the power transistor to terminal B1 of the ATC controller.

Does the resistance measured equal the specified value?

0 ohms

Go to Step 2

Go to Step 6

2

Measure the resistance in the circuit from terminal 1 of the power transistor to terminal B12 of the ATC controller.

Does the resistance measured equal the specified value?

0 ohms

Go to Step 3

Go to Step 6

3

  1. Connect the wiring harness to the ATC controller and to the power transistor.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  3. Measure the voltage from ground to terminal B12 of the ATC controller.
  4. Cycle the fan speed controller manually from the lowest speed (1) to the highest speed (8).

Do the voltages measured match approximately the specified values within ±0.5 V?

1: 4.0 V

2: 5.0 V

3: 6.0 V

4: 7.0 V

5: 8.0 V

6: 9.0 V

7: 10.0 V

8: Max HI
