Control Unit Input Test

Remove glove box, glove box upper cover and control unit from dashboard. Disconnect electrical connectors from control unit. Perform input tests at 16-pin connector. See 16-PIN CONNECTOR TEST  table. If all input tests are okay, check wiring between control unit and display (22-wire harness). If 22-wire harness is okay, replace control unit.
