      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      PTC HTR1 relay terminal 2 - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      PTC HTR2 heater relay terminal 2 - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      PTC HTR3 heater relay terminal 2 - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER - PTC HEATER RELAY)


    1. A017ENPE14

      Remove the PTC HTR1, PTC HTR2 and PTC HTR3 from the engine room No. 2 relay block.

    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).

    3. When the PTC heater operating conditions are met (engine at idling speed or faster, ambient temperature is 10°C (50°F) or less, engine coolant temperature is 65°C (149°F) or less, set temperature switch is set to MAX HOT), turn the blower switch to the LO setting.

    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      PTC HTR1 heater relay terminal 1 - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
      PTC HTR2 heater relay terminal 1 - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
      PTC HTR3 heater relay terminal 1 - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY - PTC HEATER RELAY)


    1. A017ENPE15

      Remove the PTC HTR1, PTC HTR2 and PTC HTR3 relays from the engine room No. 2 relay block.
