WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

  • Wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip before inspection as procedures may require disconnecting high-voltage connectors. Carry the removed service plug in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle.
  • Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed.

NOTICE:

  • After the power switch is turned off, there may be a waiting time before disconnecting the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU - COMPRESSOR WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY)

CAUTION:

Do not disconnect the connector on the high-voltage side.

(a) Disconnect the A61 hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.

(b) Disconnect the C43 compressor with motor assembly connector.

NOTICE:

Do not allow any foreign matter or water to enter the compressor with motor assembly.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:
