10. Check for continuity between the HVAC control unit 24P connector terminals as follows.





Is there continuity between any of the terminals?

YES -

Repair a short in the wires between the HVAC control unit and the mode control motor.

NO -

Go to step 11.

11. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and measure the voltage between body ground and HVAC control unit 24P connector terminals No. 1, No. 2 No. 3, and No. 4 individually.





Is there any voltage?

YES -

Repair a short to power in the wire(s) between the HVAC control unit and the mode control motor. This short may also damage the HVAC control unit. Repair a short to power before replacing the HVAC control unit.

NO -

Check for loose wires or poor connections at the HVAC control unit 24P connector, and at the mode control motor 7P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good HVAC control unit, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original HVAC control unit HVAC Control Unit Removal/Installation.
