Fuses O. K. Battery voltage 11 - 14 Volts (always connect battery charger when working on the hardtop). Always disconnect battery ground (B-) first before disconnecting or connecting combination control module (N10-3) to avoid storage of DTC faults. Use vehicle specific HHT module. Connect HHT as described in section 0 of the Diagnostic Manual. Note regarding testing with the HHT: Actual values: OPEN corresponds to 11 - 14 V. CLOSED corresponds to 0 - 1 V.
