1.CHECK CONNECTOR. Check poor contact of the power supply circuit connectors, A/C control panel connector and A/C CM connector. | | | Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC U0028 HEATER CONTROL PANEL COMMUNICATION ERROR |
2.CHECK FUSE. 1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 2) Remove the fuses No. 19 and 26 from the main fuse box or fuse & relay box. 3) Check the condition of fuse. Relay and Fuse | | | Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC U0028 HEATER CONTROL PANEL COMMUNICATION ERROR |
3.CHECK A/C CONTROL PANEL POWER CIRCUIT. 1) Remove the A/C control panel. 2) Disconnect the A/C control panel connector. 3) Measure the voltage between A/C control panel connector terminal and chassis ground after turning the ignition switch to ON. Connector & terminal (i88) No. 10 (+) — Chassis ground (−): (i88) No. 4 (+) — Chassis ground (−): | Is the voltage 10 V or more- | Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC U0028 HEATER CONTROL PANEL COMMUNICATION ERROR | Check for open or short circuit in the harness between A/C control panel and fuse. |
4.CHECK A/C CONTROL PANEL GROUND CIRCUIT. Measure the resistance of harness between A/C control panel and chassis ground after turning the ignition switch to OFF. Connector & terminal (i88) No. 14 — Chassis ground: | Is the resistance less than 10 -- | Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC U0028 HEATER CONTROL PANEL COMMUNICATION ERROR | Repair the harness for ground line. |
5.CHECK COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT HARNESS. 1) Disconnect the connector from A/C control panel and A/C CM. 2) Using a tester, check for continuity between the harness terminals. Connector & terminal (i181) No. 11 — (i88) No. 7: (i181) No. 12 — (i88) No. 15: | | Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC U0028 HEATER CONTROL PANEL COMMUNICATION ERROR | Repair or replace the open circuit of harness. |
6.CHECK HARNESS. Using a tester, check continuity between terminals. Connector & terminal (i181) No. 11 — Chassis ground: (i181) No. 12 — Chassis ground: | | Repair or replace the short circuit of the harness. | Replace the A/C control panel. Control Panel > REMOVAL |
