wIf the instruction ºProceed to next circuit inspection shown on matrix chart is given in the flow chart
for each circuit, proceed to the circuit with the next highest number in the table to continue the check.
wIf the trouble still reappears even though there are no abnormalities in any of the other circuits, then
check or replace the A/C amplifier.

Check voltage between terminal HR of A/C amplifier connector and
body ground.
Check heater relay.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on matrix
chart (See page AC±26).
Check HTR fuse.
Check and repair harness and connector between
A/C amplifier and battery.
Check for short in all the harness and compo-
nents to the HTR fuse (See attached wiring
diagram).
Replace heater relay.
Remove the A/C amplifier with connectors still con-
nected
Measure voltage between terminals HR of A/C ampli-
fier connector and body ground when ignition switch is
ON and OFF.
