Climate Control Power and Ground Circuit Troubleshooting

1. Check the No. 30 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

YES - Go to step 2.

NO - Replace the fuse, and recheck.

2. Disconnect audio-HVAC display panel connector B (16P).
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




4. Measure the voltage between the No. 4 terminal of audio-HVAC display panel connector B (16P) and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

6. Check for continuity between the No. 6 terminal of audio-HVAC display panel connector B (16P) and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES - Check for loose wires or poor connections at audio-HVAC display panel connector B (16P). If the connections are good, substitute a known-good audio-HVAC display panel, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original audio-HVAC display panel.
