Mazda 3 Service Manual: Climate Control Unit Inspection [Manual Air Conditioner]

Mazda 3 Service Manual / HVAC / A/C / Climate Control Unit Inspection [Manual Air Conditioner]

1. Remove the climate control unit with the connector connected..

2. Switch the ignition to ON.

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

4. By inserting the positive (+) lead of the tester into the climate control unit connector, 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 normal, replace the climate control unit.
