Checking for DTCs

The temperature display indicates single or multiple DTCs. If no DTCs are present, the indicator remains blank.

NOTE: If indicator segments A, C, D, E, G, J, and the AUTO indicator or the A/C indicator are on at the same time, there may be an open in the climate control unit ground circuit.
