Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - HVAC Systems - Manual

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Place the mode switch in any position except OFF.
3. Place the blower motor switch in each speed position.

Does the blower motor operate at all?

--

Go to Step 3

Go to Blower Motor Inoperative

Does the blower motor operate in each of the speed positions?

--

Go to Step 4

Go to Blower Motor Malfunction

Alternately place the recirculation door between MAX A/C and VENT.

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

--

Go to Step  5

Go to Air Delivery Improper

Inspect the cooling system for the following:

1. A low coolant level
2. A loose or worn accessory drive belt
3. A leaking radiator hose or heater hoses
4. A kinked radiator hose or heater hoses
5. A missing radiator cap pressure seal
6. A leaking radiator cap

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 18

Go to Step 6

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

Does the A/C compressor clutch engage?

--

Go to HVAC Compressor Clutch Does Not Disengage

Go to Step 7

1. Observe the drive shaft of the air temperature actuator.
2. Place the air temperature switch from the coldest position to the warmest position.

Does the drive shaft of the air temperature actuator rotate at all?

--

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 9

Inspect the air temperature door and the air temperature actuator for the following conditions:

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 18

Go to Step 10

Test the ground circuit of the air temperature actuator for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

--

Go to Step 18

Go to Step 11

Test the air temperature door control circuit of the air temperature actuator for an open, high resistance, short to ground, or short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Important:: Ensure that the HVAC control assembly connector is connected during this step in order to avoid misdiagnosis.

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Measure the voltage from the air temperature door control circuit of the air temperature actuator to a good ground.
3. Place the air temperature switch from the coldest position to the warmest position.

Does the voltage measure within the specified values with a smooth transition between Cold and Hot?

12 V at Cold 0 V at Hot

Go to Step 15

Go to Step 13

Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the air temperature actuator. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

--

Go to Step 18

Go to Step 14

Inspect the air temperature actuator, door and any attaching linkage for binding or a condition that prevents drive shaft rotation.

Did you find and correct the condition?

--

Go to Step 18

Go to Step 16

Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the HVAC control assembly. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?
