Climate Control Power and Ground Circuit Troubleshooting

  1. Check the No. 16 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.

    Is the fuse OK? 

    YES  -Go to step 2.

    NO  -Replace the fuse, and recheck. If the fuse blow again, check for a short in the No. 16 (7.5 A) fuse circuit.

  2. Disconnect climate control unit connector A (28P).
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  4. Measure the voltage between climate control unit connector A (28P) terminal No. 9 and body ground.

    Is there battery voltage? 

    YES  -Go to step 5.

    NO  -Repair an open in the wire between the No. 16 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the climate control unit.

  5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  6. Disconnect climate control unit connector B (12P).
  7. Check for continuity between climate control unit connector B (12P) terminal No. 3 and body ground.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Check for loose wires or poor connections at climate control unit connector B (12P). 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 (see 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 G401; with navigation (see AUDIO WIRE HARNESS (WITH NAVIGATION) ), without navigation (see AUDIO WIRE HARNESS (WITHOUT NAVIGATION) ).
