    • Is any voltage present? 
    • Yes  : REPAIR circuit VH414 (GN/BU) for a short to voltage. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : GO to D4.
  4. D4 CHECK CIRCUIT VH414 (GN/BU) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure the resistance between HVAC module C294B-19, circuit VH414 (GN/BU), harness side and in-vehicle temperature sensor C233-1, circuit VH414 (GN/BU), harness side.
