| 2. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIATOR SHUTTER SUB-ASSEMBLY - POWER SUPPLY AND BODY GROUND) |
| (a) Disconnect the A57 radiator shutter sub-assembly connector. |
|
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| A57-4 (+B) - Body ground | Power switch off | 11 to 14 V |
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| A57-1 (GND) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 3. | INSPECT RADIATOR SHUTTER SUB-ASSEMBLY |
| (a) Disconnect the z23 radiator shutter sub-assembly connector. |
|
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| A57-4 (+B) - z23-1 (+B) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| A57-4 (+B) or z23-1 (+B) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| A57-1 (GND) - z23-3 (GND) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| A57-1 (GND) or z23-3 (GND) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| NG | | REPLACE RADIATOR SHUTTER SUB-ASSEMBLY |
|
| 4. | READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Grille Shutter / Active Test.
(e) According to the display on the Techstream, perform the Active Test to open and close the grille shutter.

| Shutter Operation Lock Detection Result for Active Test |
OK:
"Normal" is displayed on the Techstream.
| OK | | USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK |
|
| 5. | CHECK RADIATOR SHUTTER SUB-ASSEMBLY |
(a) Remove the radiator shutter sub-assembly.
