STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between A/C-ECU
connector C-16 (terminal 36) and the ignition switch (ACC).
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-29 for loose, cor-
roded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the
connector. If intermediate connector C-29 is damaged, repair or
replace the connector as described in GROUP 00E, Harness
Connector Inspection P.00E-2.
Q: Is the wiring harness between A/C-ECU connector C-16
(terminal 36) and the ignition switch (ACC) in good
condition?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.
Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points
How to
Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions P.00-14.
NO : Repair the wiring harness. Check that the air
conditioning works normally.

HOW TO DIAGNOSE
GENERAL 00E-6
5. Ohmmeter
An ohmmeter is used to check continuity or measure
resistance of a switch or coil. If the measuring range has
been changed, the zero point must be adjusted before
measurement.
CHECKING FUSESM1001005000044
A blade type fuse has test taps provided to allow checking of
the fuse itself without removing it from the fuse block. The fuse
is okay if the test light comes on when its one lead is connected
to the test taps (one at a time) and the other lead is grounded.
Remember to turn the ignition switch to ON to ensure all cir-
cuits are live.
CAUTIONS IN EVENT OF BLOWN FUSE
When a fuse is blown, there are two probable causes. One is
that it is blown due to flow of current exceeding its rating. The
other is that it is blown due to repeated on/off current flowing
through it. Which of the two causes is responsible can be easily
determined by visual check as described below.
1. Fuse blown due to current exceeding rating
The illustration shows the state of a fuse blown due to this
cause. In this case, do not replace the fuse with a new one
hastily since a current heavy enough to blow the fuse has
flowed through it. First, check the circuit for shorts and check
for abnormal electric parts. After correcting shorts or
replacing parts, use only a fuse of the same capacity as a
replacement. Never use a fuse of larger capacity than the
original fuse. If a larger capacity fuse is used, electric parts
or wiring could be damaged, or could start a fire.
2. Fuse blown due to repeated turning current on and off
The illustration shows the state of a fuse blown due to
repeated current on/off. Normally, this type of problem
occurs after a fairly long period of use and is less frequent
than above. In this case, simply replace with a new fuse of
the same capacity.

DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Measure the power supply voltage at fan
controller connector A-24.
(1) Disconnect fan controller connector A-24 and measure
wiring harness side connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between fan controller connector A-24
terminal 3 and body earth.
The voltage should measure system voltage.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5) Connect fan controller connector A-24.
Q: Is the measured voltage system voltage?
YES : Go to Step 17.
NO : Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check the fan controller connector A-24.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Then go to Step 24.
