Front Power Transistor Test

Front Power Transistor Test

1. Disconnect the 5P connector from the front power transistor.
2. Measure the resistance between the No. 1 and No. 4 terminals of the front power transistor. It should be about 1.4 - 1.5 kohms
- If the resistance is within the specifications, go to step 3.
- If the resistance is not within the specifications, replace the front power transistor.

NOTE: Also check the front blower motor. Front power transistor failure can be caused by a defective front blower motor.






3. Carefully release the lock tab on the No. 3 terminal (ORN/BLK) (A) in the 5P connector, then remove the terminal and insulate it from body ground.






4. Reconnect the 5P connector to the front power transistor.
5. Supply 12 V to the No.3 cavity with a jumper wire.
6. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the front blower motor runs.
- If the front blower motor does not run, replace the front power transistor.
- If the front blower motor runs, the front power transistor is OK.
