The HVAC control module controls the HVAC door actuators to regulate the airflow through the HVAC system. Each actuator consists of an electric motor and a potentiometer. The module supplies a low reference and 5-volt reference source voltage to the potentiometer. The HVAC control module monitors the voltage drop across the potentiometer on the door position signal circuit. When the actuator shaft rotates, the voltage on the door position signal circuit changes. The control circuit uses either a 0, 2.5 or 5-volt signal to command the actuator movement. When the actuator is at rest, the control circuit value is 2.5 volts. A 0 or 5-volt control signal commands the actuator movement in opposite directions.
This DTC is for the recirculate actuator.
This DTC is for the drivers air temperature actuator.
This DTC is for the passenger air temperature actuator.
This DTC is for the mode actuator.
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts. |
• | The HVAC module is ON. |
The actual door position differs from the commanded door position by more than 4 counts or the HVAC control module detects the door position signal circuit is less than 6 counts or greater than 250 counts.
The control circuit is deactivated for the appropriate actuator.
• | The DTC becomes history when the HVAC control module no longer detects the condition that set the DTC. |
• | The history DTC will clear after 50 fault-free ignition cycles. |
• | The DTC can be cleared with a scan tool. |
Ignition ON, operate the applicable actuator using the HVAC controls. The applicable scan tool parameter should transition from 6 counts to 250 counts.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module. |
⇒ | If less then specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 9 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module. |
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module. |
⇒ | If less then specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module. |
⇒ | If the voltage does not change as specified, replace the HVAC control module. |
