Test
Dip the sensor in ice water, and measure the resistance
with a digital multimeter. Then pour hot water on the
sensor, and check lor change in resistance.
Compare the resistance reading between the No. | 8nd
No. 2 terminals of the evaporator temperature sensor
with the specifications shown in the following graph;
resistance should be within the specifications.

1.Disconnect the 3P connector from the oower tran-
st$or.
Carefully release the lock tab on the No. 2 terminal in
the 3P connector, then remove the terminal and insu-
late it from body ground.
Connect a 1.2 - 3.4 W bulb between the No, 1 and
the No,2 cavity on the 3P connectol
Reconnect the 3P connector to the power transistor.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). and check that the
blower motor runs.
a lf the blower motor runs at half soeed the oower
transistor is OK, replace the heater control panel.
. lf ths blower motor does not run at half soeed,
reDlaca the Dower transistor.

Troubleshooting
Tips and Precautions
Bef ore Troubleshootin g
. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
box.
. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean. and tight connections.
. Check the alternator belt tension.
CAUTION:
. 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 thc engins wilh the battery
ground cable loosely connected or you will severely
damage the wiring.
Handling Connestors
. Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose
wire terminals,
. N4ake sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with
grease (except water-tight connectors).
. All connectors have push-down release type locks.
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 con-
nector from its mount bracket.
LOCKINGPAWL ONOTHERHALF OFPulltodisengage
LOCKING TAB
CONNECTORBRACKET
Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on
their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
Alwavs reinstall olastic covers.
Before connecting connectors, make sure the termi-
nals are in place and not bent.
. Check for loose retainers and rubber seals.
RETAINER
The backs of some connectors are oacked with
grease. Add grease if necessary. lf the grease is con
taminated. reolace it.
