Inspection procedure
Inspection procedure
- Perform active test by intelligent tester (a/c mag clutch)
- Connect the intelligent tester (with can vim) to the dlc3.
- Turn the ignition switch on and turn the intelligent tester main switch on.
- Select the item below in the active test and then check that the compressor magnetic relay operates.
- Inspect fuse (ecu-ig1)
- Remove the ecu-ig1 fuse from the instrument panel junction block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuse.
Standard resistance:
below 1
- Inspect magnetic clutch relay (marking: mg clt)
- Remove the magnetic clutch relay from the engine room no. 1 Relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.
Standard resistance
- Check wire harness (air conditioning amplifier - battery)
- Disconnect the e36 amplifier connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
Standard voltage 
- Check air conditioning amplifier (mgc voltage)
- Remove the air conditioning amplifier with its connectors still connected.
