|---|---|---|
| 1D-14 (GND1) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| 1G-5 (GND2) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 4. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SEMICONDUCTOR PWR INTEGRATION ECU - COOLER COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Disconnect the D13 cooler compressor assembly connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 1D-12 (L) - D13-3 (MG+) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| 1D-12 (L) or D13-3 (MG+) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 5. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SEMICONDUCTOR PWR INTEGRATION ECU - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Disconnect the J42 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 1D-4 (-S) - J42-9 (MGC) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| 1D-4 (-S) or J42-9 (MGC) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 6. | CHECK MAGNETIC CLUTCH ASSEMBLY |
| (a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Resistance:
|
|
(b) Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal D13-3 (MG+) and check that the following occurs: 1) the magnetic clutch assembly operating sound can be heard, and 2) the magnetic clutch hub and rotor lock.
