W/Harness Inspection





Terminal and Connector Inspection

1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration,or damage.
3. Has a problem been found ?
YES
1) Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
1) Go to "Signal Circuit Open Inspection" procedure.
Signal Circuit Open Inspection
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. A/C-ECU, Humidity Sensor : Disconnect.
3. Measure resistance between Signal (+) terminal of Humidity Sensor harness connector and Signal (+) terminal of A/C-ECU harness connector.
A. Specification : 1 Ohm below




4. Is "resistance" display near the specified value ?
YES
1) Go to "Signal Circuit Ground Short Inspection" procedure.
NO
1) Check for open in harness.
2) Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Signal Circuit Ground Short Inspection
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. A/C-ECU : Connect, Humidity Sensor : Disconnect.
3. Measure resistance between Signal (+) terminal of Humidity Sensor harness connector and and chassis ground.




4. Is "resistance" display near the specified value ?
YES
1) Go to "Power Circuit Inspection" procedure.
NO
1) Check for short to ground in control harness.
2) Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

Power Supply Circuit Inspection

1. Ignition "OFF"
2. A/C-ECU : Connect, Humidity Sensor : Disconnect.
3. Ignition "ON" (ENGINE "OFF").
4. Measure voltage between Sensor REF (5V) terminal of Humidity Sensor harness connector and and chassis ground.
A. Specification :Approx. 5V




5. Is "Voltage" display near the specified value ?
YES
1) Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
NO
1) Check for open or short in harness.
2) Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
