Power Transistor Test

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

  4. Reconnect the 5P connector to the power transistor.
  5. Supply 12 volts to the No. 3 cavity with a jumper wire.
  6. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the blower motor runs.
    • If the blower motor does not run, replace the power transistor.
    • If the blower motor runs, replace the climate control unit.
