| 4.INSPECT AIR INLET CONTROL SERVOMOTOR |
![]() |
Remove the air inlet control servomotor.
Disconnect the connector from the air inlet control servomotor.
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 5 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 4, then check that the lever turns to the "FRESH" position smoothly.
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 4 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 5, then check that the lever turns to the "RECIRCULATION" position smoothly.

| OK | |
| 5.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR INLET CONTROL SERVOMOTOR - A/C AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) |
![]() |
Disconnect the connector from the A/C amplifier assembly.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Tester connection (Symbols) | Condition | Specified condition |
| A10-3 (AIR) - A19-4 (MREC)*1
| Always | Below 1 Ω |
| A10-3 (AIR) - A19-5 (MREC)*2
| Always | Below 1 Ω |
| A10-4 (AIF) - A19-5 (MFRS)*1
| Always | Below 1 Ω |
| A10-4 (AIF) - A19-4 (MFRS)*2
| Always | Below 1 Ω |
| A10-3 (AIR) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
