Inspection/Repair - W/Harness Inspection





Terminal and Connector Inspection

1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness/terminal conditions. 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?






Control Circuit Inspection

Check for open in harness
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Disconnect passenger air mix actuator and A/C control unit main harness connector.
3. Measure resistance between WARM terminal of passenger air mix actuator harness connector and WARM terminal of A/C-ECU harness connector.
4. Measure resistance between COOL terminal of passenger air mix actuator harness connector and COOL terminal of A/C-ECU harness connector.

Specification : below 1 Ohm





5. Is the measured resistance within specifications?





Check short to ground in harness
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Disconnect passenger air mix actuator and A/C control unit main harness connector.
3. Measure resistance between WARM terminal of passenger air mix actuator harness connector and chassis ground.
4. Measure resistance between COOL terminal of passenger air mix actuator harness connector and chassis ground.

Specification : Infinity





5. Is the measured resistance within specifications?
