(4) Checking Method of Electronic Expansion Valve
(e) By touching the - side of the tester to the L2 terminal
of ACT module and the + side of the tester to the I
terminal of ACT module, measure the resistance.
If all the resistances are greater than 100 kΩ, it is
normal.
(f) By touching the + side of the tester to the - terminal
of ACT module and the - side of the tester to the I
terminal of ACT module, measure the resistance.
If all the resistances are less than 100 kΩ, it is
normal.
