AC Inverter Unit Input Test/Replacement

  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  2. Do the battery terminal disconnection procedure (see BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION ).
  3. Remove the left rear side trim panel (see TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - REAR SIDE AREA ).
  4. Disconnect the 14P connector (A) from the AC inverter unit (B).

  5. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step 6.
  6. With the connector still disconnected, do the following input tests:
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 7.
    AC INVERTER UNIT INPUT TEST RESULT

    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    1 YEL Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal No. 1 and power outlet 3P connector terminal No. 1: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
    3 WHT Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal No. 3 and power outlet 3P connector terminal No. 3: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
  7. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure (see BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION ).
  8. Reconnect the connector, and do the following input tests:
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, replace the AC inverter unit.
