Complete the following steps in order to determine if the
system is functioning correctly:
- Cycle the ignition switch from the ON position to the OFF position
and then back to the ON position.
Verify that the following actions occur:
• | The heater A/C temperature LED lights. |
• | Both of the LEDs repeat at the same positions while the ignition
is cycled. |
- Turn on the ignition.
Leave the ignition on for at least three minutes in order to allow the
blower delay to time out.
Important: The compressor does not operate at ambient temperatures below 3°C
(38°F).
- Inspect the mode sequences in order to verify that the mode sequences
are operating correctly:
3.1. | Set the temperature to the 16°C (60°F) setting. |
Verify that the following results occur:
• | Cold air flows from the instrument panel. |
• | The blower motor runs at a high speed. |
• | The noises level changes when the air is in recirculation. |
• | Hold a small piece of paper against the inside air temperature
sensor holes. |
• | If the sensor hose is aspirating correctly, the paper will remain against
the sensor holes. If the sensor hose is not aspirating correctly, the paper
will fall to the floor. |
3.2. | Set the temperature to the 32°C (90°F) setting. |
Verify that the following results occur:
• | Warm air flows from the heater outlet. |
• | The blower motor runs at high speed. |
3.3. | Set the temperature to the 32° (90°F) setting. Select
the DEFROST setting. |
Verify that the following results occur:
• | Warm air flows from the defroster outlets. |
• | The blower motor runs at high speed. |
| Important: Ensure that the vehicle is in a garage at room temperature.
If the vehicle is hot or cold, the system will run at a high blower
motor speed at 24°C (75°F) and BI-LEVEL.
|
3.4. | Set the temperature to the METRIC 24°C (75°F) setting. Select
the BI-LEVEL setting. |
Verify that the following results occur:
• | Air flows from the instrument panel outlets and the heater outlets. |
• | The blower motor speed slows down. |
• | If the blower motor speed remains at high speed, the blower motor may
be faulty. |
