Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
A34-1 (-) - A36-28 (SG-8)	Always	Below 1 Ω
A34-2 (PR) - A35-2 (PRE)	Always	Below 1 Ω
A34-3 (+) - A36-12 (S5-1)	Always	Below 1 Ω
A34-1 (-) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
A34-2 (PR) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
A34-3 (+) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

If the resistance is not as specified, repair the wire harness.

(4) Connect the A35 and A36 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

(5) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
