  1. CHECK FUSE. 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Remove a fuse from fuse & relay box.
    3. Check the condition of fuse.

    Is the check result OK?

    • Yes  : Go to 2. 
    • No  : Replace the fuse. If the replaced fuse blows out easily, repair the ground short circuit in harness between the fuse - A/C control panel.
  2. CHECK CONNECTOR. 

    Check for poor contact of connector.

    Is the check result OK?

    • Yes  : Go to 3. 
    • No  : Repair the connector.
  3. CHECK A/C CONTROL PANEL POWER CIRCUIT. 
    1. Remove the A/C control panel.
    2. Disconnect the A/C control panel connector.
    3. Measure the voltage between A/C control panel connector terminal and chassis ground after turning the ignition switch to ON.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i88) No. 15 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (i88) No. 31 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (i88) No. 32 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    Is the voltage 10 V or more?

    • Yes  : Go to 4. 
    • No  : Check for open or short circuit in the harness between A/C control panel and fuse.
  4. CHECK A/C CONTROL PANEL GROUND CIRCUIT (OPEN). 

    Measure the resistance of harness between A/C control panel and chassis ground after turning the ignition switch to OFF.

    Connector & terminal 

    (i88) No. 34 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

    • Yes  : Go to 5. 
    • No  : Repair the harness for ground line.
  5. CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT. 

    Check poor contact of A/C control panel connector.

    Is the check result OK?
