      AIR CONDITIONER

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Blower Motor Blower motor Min.: 0, Max.: 31 -

      OK

      Blower motor operates and blower motor speed level changes.

    NG → See step   10 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT SOLAR VENTILATION RELAY 
    1. Remove the solar ventilation relay.

      Item Content
      Tool setting 1 V/DIV., 500 μs/DIV.
      Vehicle condition Power switch off
      Solar ventilation switch on (blower motor operating)

      OK

      Waveform is as shown in the illustration.

      HINT: 

      The waveform varies with the blower speed.
