TEST  
1. Power Transistor - Test  
1. Measure the resistance between terminals No. 2 and No. 4 of the power transistor. It should be  
about 1.5 kohms.  

If the resistance is within the specifications, go to step 3.  

If the resistance is not within the specifications, replace the power transistor.  
NOTE:  
Also check the blower motor. Power transistor failure can be caused  
by a defective blower motor.  
2. Reconnect the power transistor connector.

3. Connect HVAC control unit connector terminals No. 9 and No. 12 with a jumper wire.  
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).  
5. Check that the blower motor runs.  

If the blower motor does not run, replace the power transistor.  
NOTE: A faulty blower motor can cause the power transistor to fail.  
Before replacing the power transistor, check the blower motor  
for binding, and replace it if necessary.  

If the blower motor runs, the power transistor is OK.
