Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1
VERIFY FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) DTCs AGAIN
•  Clear the DTC for the front body control module (FBCM) using the M-MDS.
•  Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on) and wait for 5 s or more.
•  Retrieve the front body control module (FBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Is the same DTC displayed?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 9.
2
INSPECT CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Switch the ignition off.
•  Disconnect the climate control unit connector.
•  Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
•  Is the connector normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 8.
3
INSPECT FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Disconnect the front body control module (FBCM) connector.
•  Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
•  Is the connector normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 8.
4
INSPECT FOR SHORT TO GROUND IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT AND FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM)
•  Verify that the climate control unit and front body control module (FBCM) connectors are disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2J (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between climate control unit terminal K and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2J.
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.
Go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT AND FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM)
•  Verify that the climate control unit and front body control module (FBCM) connectors are disconnected.
•  Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).
•  Measure the voltage at the front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2J (wiring harness-side).
•  Is the voltage 0 V?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between climate control unit terminal K and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2J.
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.
Go to Step 8.
6
INSPECT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT AND FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM)
•  Verify that the climate control unit and front body control module (FBCM) connectors are disconnected.
•  Switch the ignition off.
•  Inspect for continuity between climate control unit terminal K (wiring harness-side) and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2J (wiring harness-side).
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between climate control unit terminal K and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2J.
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.
Go to Step 8.
7
PERFORM DTC INSPECTION AND VERIFY IF MALFUNCTIONING PART IS CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT
•  Always reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear the DTC for the front body control module (FBCM) using the M-MDS.
•  Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on) and wait for 5 s or more.
•  Retrieve the front body control module (FBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Is the same DTC displayed?
Yes
Replace the climate control unit, then go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 9.
8
VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
•  Always reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear the DTC for the front body control module (FBCM) using the M-MDS.
•  Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on) and wait for 5 s or more.
•  Retrieve the front body control module (FBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Is the same DTC displayed?
Yes
Replace the front body control module (FBCM), then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
9
VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED
•  Are any other DTCs displayed?
Yes
Repair the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
