Subject: | A/C Not Sufficiently Cooling (Calibrate HVAC Module/Verify Connection of Mode Switch C1 Connector and Temperature Cable) |
Models: | 2005 Chevrolet Equinox |
Some customers may comment that the A/C is not cooling sufficiently.
Engineering has determined that the HVAC control module may need to be calibrated.
DO NOT REPLACE ANY HVAC COMPONENTS OR ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE SYSTEM PRIOR TO ENSURING THE HVAC CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN CALIBRATED.
Important: If the LED state does not change, inspect
the following:
• Inspect for full engagement of the HVAC control module C1 connector (refer
to SI Document ID #1380878). • Inspect the connection of the temperature cable (SI Document ID #1243751).
• | Noticeable blower speed change should occur from speed settings 1 thru 4. |
• | Press the "A/C" button. The temperature of the outlet air must drop and the A/C indicator must light. |
• | Turn the temperature knob from cold to hot. An increase in temperature should be detected. |
• | Press the "recirc" button and verify increase in blower noise and verify indicator lights. |
If the HVAC control module calibration procedure does not resolve the customer's concern, follow published diagnostics found in SI.
