INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check voltage between terminals TR and SGTR of A/C amplifier connector.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove center cluster module control with connectors
still connected.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Check voltage between terminals TR and SGTR of A/C amplifi-
er connector at each temperature.
OK:
at 25 °C (77 °F) : 1.8 ± 2.2 V
at 40 °C (104 °F) : 1.2 ± 1.6 V
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the voltage decreases.
NG Go to step 2.
OK
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on problem symptoms table (See page DI±874). Howev-
er, if DTC 11 is output, check and replace A/C amplifier.
2 Check room temperature sensor.
PREPARATION:
Remove room temperature sensor (See page AC±60).
CHECK:
Check resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of room tempera-
ture sensor connector at each temperature.
OK:
at 25 °C (77 °F) : 1.6 ± 1.8 kW
at 40 °C (104 °F) : 0.5 ± 1.7 kW
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
NG Replace room temperature sensor.
OK

HINT:
As the temperature increases, the voltage decreases.
NG Go to step 2.
OK
Proceed to the next circuit inspection shown on problem symptoms table (See page DI±874).
However, if DTC 12 is displayed, check and replace A/C amplifier.
