DEFINITION: Auxiliary air temperature can not be adjusted from one or both auxiliary controls or auxiliary heating is insufficient.

1

Did you review the HVAC operation and perform the necessary inspections?

Go to Step 2

Go to Symptoms - HVAC Systems - Manual

Important: The auxiliary A/C system operates independently of the HVAC control assembly to provide heated airflow through the auxiliary system.

Does the HVAC control assembly operate and provide sufficient heating?

Go to Step 3

Go to Too Cold in Vehicle

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Place the Heat and/or A/C auxiliary blower motor switch in each speed position.

Does the auxiliary blower motor operate at all?

Go to Step 4

Go to Auxiliary Blower Motor Inoperative

Does the auxiliary blower motor operate correctly for each speed position?

Go to Step 5

Go to Auxiliary Blower Motor Malfunction

Is the vehicle equipped with an auxiliary A/C system?

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 8

1. Start the engine.
2. Place the mode switch in the OFF or FLOOR positions.

Does the A/C compressor operate?

Go to HVAC Compressor Clutch Does Not Disengage

Go to Step 7

Is the vehicle equipped with an auxiliary heating system?
