Communication Circuit Test

  1. Remove the upper panel (see DRIVER'S DASHBOARD UNDER COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  2. Disconnect the display panel control unit connector B (6P) and connect the special tool (07AAZ-SEPA100) to display panel control unit.
  3. Push and hold the driver's "AUTO" button for 5 seconds.
  4. The driver's temperature and passenger's temperature indicators will display a code. Check the code in the list below. If the code is considered OK, then the center panel module's communication circuit is OK. If the code is considered a fault, replace the center panel module.
