PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL ASSEMBLY - POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT)

(a) Disconnect the A33 air conditioning control assembly connector.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
A33-8 (IG+) - Body ground	Ignition switch off	Below 1 V
A33-8 (IG+) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	11 to 14 V

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A33-1 (GND) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL ASSEMBLY - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY)

(a) Disconnect the A33 air conditioning control assembly connector.

(b) Disconnect the A36 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A33-2 (STX) - A36-11 (LIN1)	Always	Below 1 Ω
A33-2 (STX) or A36-11 (LIN1) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

3.	REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL ASSEMBLY

(a) Replace the air conditioning control assembly (See page HINT: HINT: ).

HINT:

Since the air conditioning control assembly cannot be inspected while it is removed from the vehicle, replace the air conditioning control assembly with a new or known good one and same problem occurs again.

OK:

Same problem does not occurs.
