Climate Control Power and Ground Circuit Troubleshooting




Climate Control Power and Ground Circuit Troubleshooting

1. Check the No. 36 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

Is the fuse OK?

YES -

Go to step 2.

NO -

Replace the fuse, and recheck. If the fuse blows again, check for a short in the No. 36 (10 A) fuse circuit.

2. Disconnect climate control unit connector B (16P).

3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

4. Measure the voltage between climate control unit connector B (16P) terminal No. 16 and body ground.





Is there battery voltage?

YES -

Go to step 5.

NO -

Repair an open in the wire between the No. 36 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and the climate control unit.

5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

6. Check for continuity between climate control unit connector A (24P) terminal No. 24 and body ground.





Is there continuity?

YES -

Check for loose wires and poor connections at climate control unit connector A (24P). If the connections are good, substitute a known-good climate control unit, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original climate control unit Climate Control Unit Removal/Installation.

NO -

Check for an open in the wire between the climate control unit and body ground. If the wire is OK, check for poor ground at G571.
