INSPECTION PROCEDURE 6: The blower air volume cannot be changed <Rear side>




COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


If the air quantity of the rear blower cannot be regulated by operating the rear cooler control panel, the rear blower power transistor and its associated wire(s) may be defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of the rear blower power transistor
  • Malfunction of the centre room lamp (integrated rear cooler control panel)
  • Damaged wiring harness or connector

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Voltage measurement at rear cooler control panel connector.


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Voltage between terminal P/TC and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check open circuit in rear cooler control panel P/TC line between rear blower power transistor connector and rear cooler control panel connector P/TC terminal.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Repair or replace the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 3. Voltage measurement at rear cooler control panel connector.


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Voltage between terminal P/TB and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check open circuit in rear cooler control panel P/TB line between rear blower power transistor connector and rear cooler control panel connector P/TB terminal.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Repair or replace the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 5. Recheck the trouble symptom.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Replace the rear power transistor (Refer to ). Then go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Recheck the trouble symptom.


Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble symptom is complete.
Replace the centre room lamp (integrated rear cooler control panel) (Refer to GROUP 54A - Interior Lamp ).
