FRONT CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT INSPECTION
id074000805100
1. Connect the front climate control unit connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Connect the negative (-) lead of the tester to body ground.
4. By inserting the positive (+) lead of the tester into each front climate control unit terminal, measure the voltage according to the terminal voltage table.
