  1. Disconnect the automatic temperature controller (ATC) connectors A and B.
  2. Disconnect the connectors from the power transistor.
  3. Measure the resistance circuit GRY/BLK from terminal 4 of the power transistor to terminal B1 of the ATC controller.

Does the resistance equal the specified value?

0 ohms

Go to Step 2

Go to Step 6

2

Measure the resistance in the circuit from terminal 1 of the power module control unit to terminal B12 of the ATC controller.

Does the resistance equal the specified value?

0 ohms

Go to Step 3

Go to Step 6

  1. Reconnect the wiring harness to the ATC controller and to the power module control unit.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. Measure the voltage from ground to terminal B12 of the ATC controller.
  4. Cycle the fan speed controller manually from the lowest, speed 1, to the highest speed 5.

Do the voltages measured match the specified ranges?

Speed 1:8.3-9.3 V

Speed 2: 6.3-7.3 V

Speed 3: 3.9-4.9 V

Speed 4: 2.2-3.2 V

Speed 5: 0-0.5 V

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 5
