- INSPECT DEICER RELAY
- Remove the DEICER relay from the No. 2 engine room relay block.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 3 - 5 When battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2 Below 1 Ω 3 - 5 When battery voltage is not applied between terminals 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPLACE DEICER RELAY
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DEICER RELAY - BATTERY)
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
