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

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Specified Condition
   3 - 5	10 kΩ or higher
   3 - 5	Below 1 Ω (When battery voltage applied to terminals 1 and 2)

3. Install the HTR SUB No. 1 and HTR SUB No. 3 relays to the engine room relay block and junction block.

NG → REPLACE RELAY (HTR SUB NO. 1, HTR SUB NO. 3) 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the connector from the A/C amplifier.
2. Remove the HTR SUB No. 1 and HTR SUB No. 3 fuses from the engine room relay block and junction block.
3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   E30-3 (PTC1) - HTR SUB No. 1 relay terminal 2	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E30-22 (PTC2) - HTR SUB No. 3 relay terminal 1	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E30-3 (PTC1) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
   E30-22 (PTC2) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
   HTR SUB No. 1 relay terminal 1 - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω
   HTR SUB No. 3 relay terminal 2 - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Reconnect the connector to the A/C amplifier.
2. Remove the A/C amplifier with the connectors still connected.
