Front left side door:
INSPECT PTC THERMISTOR OPERATION (Using an ammeter)




a. Connect the negative (-) lead from the battery to terminal 2.
b. Connect the positive (+) lead from the ammeter to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to battery negative (-) terminal, and check that the current changes from approximately 3.2 A to less than 0.5 A within 20 to 70 seconds.




c. Disconnect the leads from terminals.
d. Approximately 60 seconds later, connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, and check that the door lock moves to the LOCK position.
If operation is not as specified, replace the door lock assembly.
