Power Transistor Test
POWER TRANSISTOR (To 12 V Power source on vehicle)JUMPER WIRE
A
1. Remove the passenger’s dashboard undercover
(see page 20-104).
2. Disconnect the 4P connector from the power transistor.
3. Measure the resistance between terminals No. 3 and No. 4 of the power transistor. It should be
about 1.5 k .
 If the resistance is within the specifications, go to step 4.
 If the resistance is not within the specifications, replace the power transistor.
NOTE: Also check the blower motor. Power
transistor failure can be caused by a defective
blower motor. 4. Carefully release the lock tab on terminal No. 1
(YEL) (A) in the 4P connector, then remove the
terminal and insulate it from body ground.
5. Reconnect the 4P connector to the power transistor.
6. Make sure the YEL wire is completely isolated, then supply 12 V to cavity No. 1 with a jumper wire.
7. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and check that the blower motor runs.
 If the blower motor does not run, replace the power transistor.
NOTE: A faulty blower motor can cause the
power transistor to fail. If the power transistor is
replaced, also check the blower motor for
binding, and replace it if necessary.
 If the blower motor runs, the power transistor is OK.

A/C System Noise Check
 Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vaporcan irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
 Be careful when connecting service equipment.
 Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
The A/C system noise check will help you determine the
source of abnormal A/C system noise.
NOTE:  If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service.
 Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
 Identify the conditions when the noise occurs. The weather, the vehicle speed, the vehicle being in gear
or in neutral, the engine temperature, or other
conditions may be factors in determining the noise
source.
 Do an A/C system inspection (see page 21-6), and correct any problems found prior to diagnosing
abnormal noises.
 Abnormal A/C noises can be misleading. For example,
a sound similar to a failed bearing may be caused by
loose fasteners, loose mounting brackets, or faulty
compressor clutch assembly.
1. Inspect the air inlet grille in the cowl cover for debris. If debris is present, remove it.
2. Sit inside the vehicle, close the doors and windows, and turn the ignition switch to ON (II), but do not
start the engine. Cycle the HVAC system through all
blower speeds and all air distribution modes to
determine where and when the noise occurs. 3. Operate the blower at each speed with the engine
and A/C off, and check for unusual noises and
excessive vibration. If noise and/or vibration are
present, do the following checks:
–1 If the noise or vibration occurs only in a specific mode or setting, then check these
items: Operation of the mode control motor, door, and linkage
 Operation of the air mix control motor(s), door(s), and linkage
 Operation of the recirculation motor, door, and linkage
–2 If there is a squeaking or chirping noise, but no unusual vibration, replace the blower motor
(see page 21-77).
–3 Remove the blower unit (see page 21-76), and check for foreign material (leaves or twigs, for
example) on the blower motor and fan. If
foreign material is present, remove it, and
recheck for noise. If you don’t find any foreign
material, remove the blower motor (see page
21-77), and check these items: Check if the fan blades are cracked or broken
 Make sure the fan retainer is tight
 Inspect the fan alignment on the blower motor shaft
Replace the blower motor if any problems are
present.
4. Set up the vehicle for the running A/C che cks:
 Select a quiet area for testing
 Apply the parking brake
 Shift the vehicle in PARK or in Neutral
 Start the engine
 Set the temperature control dial to Max Cool
 Set the mode control switch to Vent
 Set the fan control dial to minimum (but not OFF)
 Turn the A/C switch ON
Switch the compressor on and off several times to
clearly identify the sound during A/C compressor
operation. Listen to the noise while the A/C
compressor clutch is engaged and disengaged.
Probe the A/C system with a stethoscope to
pinpoint the noise.
NOTE: If the noise does not change when the A/C
compressor clutch engages or disengages, the
noise may be caused by an engine-related
component. Probe the engine area with a
stethoscope to pinpoint the noise. (cont’d)

A/C System Noise Check (cont’d)
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and check the
drive belt for excessive wear, oil contamination,
improper routing, or a faulty belt tensioner
(see page 4-30). Correct any problems found. Start
the engine, run the A/C system, and check if the
noise is coming from the drive belt, the belt
tensioner or any of the pulleys. Repair or replace
any faulty components.
6. Listen for noises coming from the A/C lines, the A/C hoses, the condenser, the evaporator, the receiver/
drier, or the expansion valve, and check these
items:
 Noises caused by A/C components touching other components or the body. Reroute or
insulate the A/C component(s) as needed, and
recheck for noise.
 Loose, damaged or excessively worn A/C components or mounting hardware. Repair or
replace the faulty component(s) or hardware, and
recheck for noise.
 A moaning noise coming from the A/C suction line. If there is a moaning noise, check the
system refrigerant charge (see page 21-92). If the
refrigerant charge is OK, replace the receiver/
dryer.
7. Check the operation of the A/C compressor clutch:  Make sure compressor clutch engages withoutslipping. If the clutch does not engage,
troubleshoot the A/C compressor clutch circuit
(see page 21-62). If the compressor clutch slips,
replace the complete clutch assembly (see page
21-86).
 Make sure the compressor clutch disengages. If the clutch does not disengage, do the A/C
compressor clutch check (see page 21-85). If the
compressor clutch is OK, replace the A/C
compressor (see page 21-83).
 Make sure the compressor clutch cycles normally. If the compressor clutch is cycling rapidly, the
A/C system is probably low on refrigerant due to
a leak. Do the refrigerant leak check (see page
21-93). If the refrigerant charge is OK, and there
are no leaks, troubleshoot the A/C compressor
clutch circuit. 8. Listen with a stethoscope for noises coming from
the A/C compressor, and check these items:
 The noise changes when the compressor clutch disengages. If the noise does not change when
the A/C compressor disengages, the noise may
be caused by an engine-related component.
Probe the engine area with a stethoscope to
pinpoint the noise.
 The A/C system operating pressures are normal. If the system pressures are abnormal,
troubleshoot the problem using the pressure test
table in the A/C system check (see page 21-99).
Correct the pressure-related problem(s), and
recheck for noise.
 The compressor hose connections, mounting brackets, and fasteners are in good condition. If
any of these components are loose, damaged, or
excessively worn, repair or replace the faulty
component(s), and recheck for noise. If these
components are in good condition, and the noise
is still present, replace the A/C compressor
(see page 21-83).
