Repair procedures
1. |
Measure a resistance of NTC and Heated pad.
– |
NTC resistance (Black / Black) : 10.0 kΩ ± 5 % [at 25 °C (77
°F)]
|
– |
Heated pad resistance (Red, Black / Brown, Black) : 1.7 Ω ± 10
%
|
|
2. |
Measure a temperature.
– |
The temperature of wheel surface grip must rise from -20 °C (-4
°F) to 20 °C (68 °F) within 6 minute
|
– |
The temperature of wheel surface grip must keep 38 ± 4 °C (100.4
± 39.2 °F) after 25 minute
|
– |
At that time switch on, all measure point (1 - 8)
