1

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the automatic temperature control (FATC) controller connector.
  3. Disconnect the power transistor connector.
  4. Measure the resistance between terminal 4 of the power transistor and terminal B20 of the FATC controller.

Does the resistance equal the specified value?

0 ohms

Go to Step 2

Go to Step 6

2

Measure the resistance between terminal 1 of the power transistor and terminal B9 of the FATC controller.

Does the resistance measure equal tothe specified value?

0 ohms

Go to Step 3

Go to Step 6

3

  1. Connect the power transistor connector and the FATC connectors.
  2. Turn ON the ignition.
  3. Measure the voltage between ground and terminal B9 of the FATC controller while changing the blower speed from 1 to 5 manually.

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

1: 8.8 V

2: 6.8 V

3: 4.8 V

4: 2.8 V

5: 0 V

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 5
