1. Disconnect water valve connector F68.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Rotate temperature control dial (driver) to 32 °C (90 °F).
4. Check voltage between water valve harness connector F68 ter- minal 1 and terminal 2 while rotating temperature control dial
(driver) to 16 °C (60 °F).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK WATER VALVE CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect front air control connector M50.
3. Check continuity between water valve harness connector F68 (A) terminal 1 and front air control harness connector M50 (B)
terminal 29.
4. Check continuity between water valve harness connector F68 (A) terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace front air control. Refer to ATC-144, "FRONT AIR CONTROL" .
NG >> Repair harness or connector.
