Repair Procedures: Inspection

  1. Measure a resistance of NTC and Heated pad.
    1. NTC resistance (Black / Yellow, Black) - 10.0 kΩ ± 10% (25°C (77°F))
    2. Heated pad resistance (Yellow, Black) - 1.6 ~ 2.0 Ω ± 10%
  2. Measure a temperature.
    1. The temperature of wheel surface grip must rise from -20°C (-68°F) to 20°C (68°F) within 6 minute
    2. The temperature of wheel surface grip must keep 38°C ± 4°C (100.4°F ± 39.2°F) after 25 minute
    3. At that time switch on, all measure point (1~8) in illustration
