2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3. Has a problem been found?






Power Circuit Inspection

Check power in harness
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Disconnect AQS sensor and Connect A/C control unit main harness connector.
3. Ignition "ON"
4. Measure voltage between Power terminal of AQS sensor harness connector and chassis ground.

Specification : approx. 12 V




5. Is the measured voltage within specification?






Signal Circuit Inspection

Check short to ground in harness
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Disconnect AQS sensor and A/C control unit main harness connector.
