- Check fuse 11 the integrated relay/fusebox in the passenger compartment. If the fuse is blown, check the circuit after the fuse for a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals - Permanent faults
- Check fuse 13 the integrated relay/fusebox in the engine compartment. If the fuse is blown, check the circuit after the fuse for a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals - Permanent faults
- Check the power supply to terminal 29. The voltage should be approximately battery voltage with the ignition on
- Check the power supply to terminal 66. The voltage should be approximately battery voltage for 2 seconds after the ignition is switched on
- Check the power supply to terminal 30. The voltage should be approximately battery voltage for 2 seconds after the ignition is switched on
- Remedy as necessary.
