Check the wire harness.
Disconnect the N41 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
Disconnect the Q5 cooler thermistor (solar sensor) connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Q5-1 (SE) - N41-2 (S5-1) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| Q5-2 (NSHA) - N41-9 (TSD) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| Q5-1 (SE) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| Q5-2 (NSHA) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
If the resistance is not as specified, repair the wire harness.
Reconnect the N41 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Q5-1 (SE) - Q5-2 (NSHA) | Ignition switch off | Below 1 V |
| Q5-1 (SE) - Q5-2 (NSHA) | Ignition switch ON | 4.75 to 5.25 V |
If the voltage is not as specified, replace the air conditioning amplifier assembly.
Check the cooler thermistor (solar sensor).
Reconnect the connector to the cooler thermistor (solar sensor).
Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Q5-1 (SE) - Q5-2 (NSHA) | Sensor is subjected to electric light | 0.8 to 4.3 V |
| Q5-1 (SE) - Q5-2 (NSHA) | Sensor is covered with a cloth | Below 0.8 V |
The connection procedure for using a digital tester such as a TOYOTA electrical tester is shown above. When using an analog tester, connect the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 and the positive (+) lead to terminal 2 of the cooler thermistor (solar sensor).
Do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.
Use an incandescent light for inspection. Bring it within about 300 mm (11.8 in.) of the cooler thermistor (solar sensor).
As the inspection light is moved away from the sensor, the voltage decreases.
Check from the rear of the connector while it is connected to the cooler thermistor (solar sensor).
If the voltage is not as specified, replace the cooler thermistor (solar sensor).
