Evaporator Temperature Sensor
Replacement
1.Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover (see
page 20-59) and the under cover (see page 20-60).
Remove the under-dash fuse/relay box (see page
22-491.
Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the
evaporator temperature sensor (B), then remove
the connector clip (C). Remove the self-tapping
screw, and carefully pull out the evaporator
temperature.

Power Transistor Test
1. Disconnect the 4P connector from the power
Iranslslor.
2, Measure the resistance between the No. 1 and
No. 2 terminals of the power transistor. lt should be
about '1.4 1.5 kQ.
. lf the resistance iswithln the specifications, go to
step 3.. lf the resistance is notwithin the specifications,
replace the power transistor.
POWER TRANSISTOB
Carefully release the lock tab on the No. 4 terminal(BLUI/EL) (A) in the 4P connector, then remove the
terminal and insulate it from body ground.
(To 12 V power source on vehicle)
Reconnect the 4P connector to the power transistor.
Supply 12 volts to the No. 4 cavity with a jumper
wire.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll), and check that the
blower motor runs.

General Troubleshooting Information
Tips and Precautions
Bef ore Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
oox.
2. Check the battery for damage. state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.
. Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery
ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.. Do not attempt to crank the engine with the
battery ground cable loosely connected or you
will severely damage the wiring.
Handling Connectors. Make sure the connectors are clean and have no
loose wire terminals.. Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with
dielectric grease (except waterti ght connectors).. All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
Some connectors have a clip on their side used to
attach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected
unless you first release the lock and remove the
connector from its mount bracket (A).
Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their
wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
Alwavs reinstall Dlastic covers,
Before connecting connectors, make sure the
terminals (A) are in place and not bent.

Testing and Repairs. Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation.
Replace them or repair them by wrapping the break
with electricaltape.. After installing parts, make sure that no wires are
oinched under them.. When using electricaltest equipment, followthe
manufacturer's instructions and those described in
this manual.. lf possible, insertthe probe of thetesterfromthe wire
side (except waterproof connector).
Use back Drobe adaotor 07TM-0010204.
Refer to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for
identification and reolacement of connector terminals.
