INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.READ VALUE ON HAND-HELD TESTER

a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and push the hand-held tester main switch on.
c. Select the items below in the DATA LIST, and read the displays on the hand-held tester.
DATA LIST / AIR CONDITIONER:
DATA LIST / AIR CONDITIONER
OK:
The display is as specified in the normal condition.
Result:
AIR CONDITIONER TEST RESULT
B: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
C: REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER (SEE REPLACEMENT )
A: Go to next step
2.INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER (TPI - SG)
a. Remove the A/C amplifier with connectors still connected.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
c. Change the set RECIRC/FRESH to activate the air inlet servomotor.
d. Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard:
AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER (TPI - SG) VOLTAGE
