3. Connect auto air conditioner harness to PBR and set air mix door (PBR) in full hot condition. (Full hot condition can be obtained either by setting PTC at full hot or by disconnecting connector for in-vehicle sensor, etc.)
4. Measure voltage between terminals of check connector again and adjust trimmer so that voltage is half of that measured in step 2.

Voltage between terminals of check connector: 2.25-2.75 volts
