Looks like the monovalve is going to be opened up.

THX !!
Those readings look correct but you should check under load, i.e., with the monovalve connected to the plug. Can you pull the plug partially off of the monovalve pins and get your voltmeter probes in there? or use a couple of wires?

Nonetheless, if you are getting heat with the CCU set to max cooling and 12 volts on the monovalve then it is definitely the monovalve.
