DIAGNOSTIC TEST

1. CHECK FOR A SHORTED EBL RELAY




Turn the ignition off.
Install a known good relay in place of the EBL relay.
Turn the ignition on.
Actuate the Clear DTC function by performing the following:
- Turn the blower control on.
- Press the A/C mode switch down, turn the blower control to off, wait until both LEDs illuminate (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the A/C mode switch.
- When the A/C status indicator begins displaying DTCs, set the Mode switch to the floor position, simultaneously press the A/C mode switch and the EBL mode switch down until both LEDs start flashing (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the mode switches. Stored DTCs will clear from memory in approximately two seconds.

Press the EBL mode switch on.
Actuate the Display DTC function by performing the following:
- Turn the blower control on.
- Press the A/C mode switch down, turn the blower control to off, wait until both LEDs illuminate (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the A/C mode switch.

NOTE: The A/C status indicator displays active DTCs when the EBL status indictor is not illuminated and stored DTCs when the EBL status indicator is illuminated.

Read DTCs from the A/C status indictor.

Q: Does the A/C status indicator display DTC 77?

YES: Go To 2
NO: Replace the original EBL Relay.

Measure the voltage of the (C115) Defogger Relay Control circuit.

Q: Is the voltage above 0.2 volts?

YES: Repair the (C115) Defogger Relay Control circuit for a short to battery. Reinstall the original EBL relay.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test
NO: Replace the A/C Heater Control. Reinstall the original EBL relay.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test
