wiring harness side.

(2) Continuity between terminal 1 and body earth

OK: Continuity exists (2

Ω or less)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 10.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness wires between
power transistor connector terminal No. 1
and body earth.

STEP 10. Check the wiring harness between C-
110 blower motor connector terminal No.2 and C-
109 power transistor connector terminal No.2.

• Check the power transistor power supply line for

open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 11.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 11. Connector check: C-60 heater control
unit connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 12.

NO :

Repair the connector.

STEP 12. Check the wiring harness between C-
110 blower motor connector terminal No.2 and C-
60 heater control unit connector terminal No.1.

• Check the blower motor power supply line for

open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 13.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 13. Check the wiring harness between C-
109 power transistor connector terminal No.4
and C-60 heater control unit connector terminal
No.2.

• Check the power transistor power supply line for

open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 14.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 14. Replace the power transistor and
recheck the trouble symptom
Check that the blower motor operates normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

This diagnosis is complete.

NO :

Replace the heater control unit.
