☞ Checking Mehod of Cover Ice Route Motor
Resistance
(Make sure to work after Power Off)
The Resistance is variable according to
the input voltage.
CN73 and CN74 combined and use same
connector(13P)
CN70#9(RED) ↔ 13P#9(Blue)
** 0Ω: Short trouble / ∞Ω: Open trouble
When the MOTOR
rotates.
① CN73 and CN74 combined and use same connector(13P).
Check 13P-"9" Connector / Re-connect
② Check the short/open for the SSR75 of Cover Ice Motor on Main PCB.
③ Check the resistance of parallel Connector 13P-" 9" , CN70-" 9" .
(Definitely plug out prior to repair)
