Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Inspection Procedure
- Check voltage between terminals IG and GND of A/C amplifier connector.
Preparation
- Remove center cluster module control with connectors still connected.
- Turn ignition switch ON.
Check: Measure voltage between terminals IG and GND of A/C amplifier. If OK , voltage: 10 - 14 V.
- If OK , proceed to next circuit inspection shown on problem symptoms table. See PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE .
- NG: Go to step 2.
- Check continuity between terminal GND of A/C amplifier and body ground.
Check: Measure resistance between terminal GND of A/C amplifier and body ground. If OK , resistance: Below 1 Ω.
- NG: Repair or replace harness or connector.
- If OK: Go to step 3.
- Check HTR fuse.
PREPARATION: Remove HTR fuse from instrument panel J/B.
Check: continuity of HTR fuse. If OK , continuity exists.
- NG: Check for shot in all the harness and components connected to the HTR fuse.
- If OK , check and repair harness and connector between A/C amplifier and battery.
