INSPECTION PROCEDURE

INSPECT FUSE (ECU-IG LH, GLW PLG1, GLW PLG2)

CHECK AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER

INSPECT RELAY (GLW RLY1, GLW RLY2)

CHECK WIRE HARNESS (A/C AMPLIFIER - ENGINE ROOM NO. 4 RELAY BLOCK)

INSPECT WATER BY-PASS GLOW PLUG

INSPECT HEATER BLOWER WIRE

CHECK WIRE HARNESS (HEATER BLOWER WIRE - ENGINE ROOM NO. 4 RELAY BLOCK)
