1.  Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

2.  Remove the following parts:

(1)  Selector lever knob (AT) (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT MECHANISM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(2)  Shift lever knob (MT)
(3)  Shift panel component (See SHIFT PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(4)  Upper panel (See UPPER PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(5)  Parking brake lever boot panel (See PARKING BRAKE LEVER BOOT PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(6)  Rear console (See REAR CONSOLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(7)  Front console panel (See FRONT CONSOLE PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(8)  Front console component (See FRONT CONSOLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(9)  Scuff plate (See SCUFF PLATE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(10)  Front side trim (See FRONT SIDE TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(11)  A-pillar trim (See A-PILLAR TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(12)  Bonnet release lever (See BONNET RELEASE LEVER AND RELEASE CABLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(13)  Driver-side lower panel (See DRIVER-SIDE LOWER PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(14)  Passenger-side lower panel (See PASSENGER-SIDE LOWER PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
(15)  Center panel No.1 (See CENTER PANEL No.1 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

3.  Remove the climate control unit with the connector connected. (See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)

4.  Connect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

5.  Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).

6.  Connect the negative (-) lead of the tester to the body ground.

7.  Insert the positive (+) lead of the tester into each climate control unit terminal and measure the voltage according to the terminal voltage table.

•  If there is any malfunction, inspect the parts under “Inspection item (s)”.
―  If the parts under “Inspection item (s)” are found to be normal (except for terminal Q), replace the climate control unit. (See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)
―  For terminal Q, first try replacing the blower fan controller. If there is still any malfunction, replace the climate control unit. (See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)
