Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - HVAC Systems - Automatic

Important:: The RDO-BATT fuse must be removed for 20 seconds minimum. The HVAC control module requires 60 seconds to initialize after the HVAC fuse is reinstalled. Do not install a scan tool during this time.

1. Disconnect the scan tool.
2. Turn OFF the ignition.
3. Remove the RDO-BATT fuse to interrupt the keep alive memory of the HVAC control module.
4. Install the RDO-BATT fuse.
5. Install a scan tool.
6. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
7. With a scan tool, observe the current DTC list in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning.

Does the scan tool display DTC B0408, B0415 or B0416?

Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List

Go to Step 3

Place the blower motor switch in each speed position.

Does the blower motor operate in each speed position?

--

Go to Step  4

Go to Blower Motor Inoperative

Does the blower motor provide sufficient air flow?

--

Go to Step  5

Go to Blower Motor Malfunction

1. Place the recirculation switch in the ON position.
2. Observe the recirculation door.
3. Place the outside air switch in the ON position.

Does the recirculation door move from the recirculation to the outside air position?

--

Go to Step 6

Go to Air Delivery Improper

Does the Too Cold in Vehicle concern occur when heating or defrosting is desired?

--

Go to Step  7

Go to Step 9

1. Start the engine.
2. Place the blower motor switch in the OFF position.
3. Place the HVAC control module in the OFF position.

Go to Step 8

Inspect the cooling system for the following conditions:

Did you find and correct the condition?

--

Go to Step 25

Go to Step 9

Check the upper discharge, lower air temperature, and inside air temperature sensors for proper installation. Refer to one of the following procedures:

Did you find and correct the condition?

--

Go to Step 25

Go to Step 10

1. Install a scan tool.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. Inspect for airflow through the inside air temperature sensor by placing a 5 cm (2 in) square piece of paper over the sensor air inlet.

Does the paper stay in place?

--

Go to Step 13

Go to Step 11

1. Disconnect the inside air temperature sensor assembly.
2. Measure the voltage on the ignition 3 voltage circuit of the inside air temperature sensor assembly to a good ground.

Does the voltage measure near specified value?

12 V

Go to Step 12

Go to Step 16

Measure the voltage on the ignition 3 voltage circuit to the ground circuit of the inside air temperature sensor assembly.

Does the voltage measure near specified value?

12 V

Go to Step 19

Go to Step 17

1. Install a thermometer near the upper outlet, lower outlet and inside air temperature sensors.
2. With a scan tool, observe the Upper Outlet, Lower Outlet and Inside Air Temp data parameters in the Heating and A/C Data list.

Does the scan tool indicate the sensors temperature are within 3°C (5°F) of the thermometer temperature?

--

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 18

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Install a scan tool.
3. Cover the sunload sensor.
4. Start the engine.
5. Adjust driver side temperature to 22°C (72°F).
6. With a scan tool, observe the Solar Sensor data parameter in the Heating and Air Conditioning data list.

Does the scan tool indicate that the solar sensor parameter is greater than the specified value?

230 counts

Go to Step 15

Go to Step 20

1. Uncover the sunload sensor.
2. Direct a light source at the sunload sensor.

Do the counts change?

--

System OK

Go to Step 20

Repair the ignition 3 voltage circuit of the inside air temperature sensor assembly. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you complete the repair?
