(2) Disconnect the J42 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

(3) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

A9-1 (-) - J42-3 (SG-4)

Always

Below 1 Ω

A9-2 (PR) - J42-24 (PRE)

Always

Below 1 Ω

A9-3 (+) - J42-6 (S5-3)

Always

Below 1 Ω

A9-1 (-) - Body ground

Always

10 kΩ or higher

A9-2 (PR) - Body ground

Always

10 kΩ or higher

A9-3 (+) - Body ground

Always

10 kΩ or higher

If the resistance is not as specified, repair the wire harness.
