Pinpoint Test P: All HVAC Functions Inoperative

  1. P1 CHECK THE HVAC MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: HVAC Module C228A.
    • Ignition ON.
    • With the engine running, measure the voltage between ground and:
      • HVAC module C228A-10, circuit SBP07 (WH/RD), harness side.
      • HVAC module C228A-14, circuit CBP21 (BU/GY), harness side.

    • Are the voltages greater than 10 volts? 
      • Yes  : GO to  P2.
      • No  : REPAIR circuit SBP07 (WH/RD) or CBP21 (BU/GY) for high resistance. CLEAR all CMDTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  2. P2 CHECK THE HVAC MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure the resistance between ground and HVAC module C228A-13, circuit GD115 (BK/GY), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
      • Yes  : GO to  P3.
      • No  : REPAIR circuit GD115 (BK/GY) for high resistance. CLEAR all CMDTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. P3 CHECK THE HVAC MODULE CONNECTION 
    • Disconnect all the HVAC module connectors.
    • Inspect the HVAC module connectors for:
      • corrosion.
      • pushed-out terminals.
      • damaged terminals.
    • Connect and correctly seat all the HVAC module connectors.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
      • Yes  : INSTALL a new HVAC module. REFER to CLIMATE CONTROL . TEST the system for normal operation.
      • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
