resistance by disconnecting the
harness from J3 at the control
board. Measure between pins 1 and
2.
If defective, remove the chassis
cover and disconnect the harness
from heat sink sensor. Measure
sensor resistance at pins 1-2 on the
sensor harness to determine if
sensor or harness is defective.

activate. If it occurs after
the power tests are
completed, the FAN
FAILURE alarm will activate.
