Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step ensures that the primary HVAC system is functioning properly.
-
The DTCs listed could set if a calibration of the actuators is performed.
-
If the condition does not occur when a A/C request has been made then you must bypass the A/C compressor and cooling system diagnostic information.
-
This step ensures that the front auxiliary control assembly is providing an auxiliary air temperature input to the auxiliary HVAC control module.
-
This step ensures that the rear seat audio control is providing an auxiliary air temperature input to the auxiliary HVAC control module.
-
When taking a temperature reading allow for a 3°C (5°F) temperature variance.
-
When the front auxiliary HVAC control assembly is disconnected, and there is no fault on auxiliary air temperature switch control circuit, the scan tool will read a high count value for the Air Temp. Switch Pos. parameter. A short to ground on circuit will have low count value.
