Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)
- With the scan tool, read HVAC Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCS) and record on the repair order.
- Record the Environmental Data.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS TEST. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- PERFORM HVAC ACTUATOR CALIBRATION TEST
- With the scan tool, perform the HVAC Actuator Calibration Test.
Did this DTC change from Stored to Active while performing the HVAC Actuator Calibration Test?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS TEST. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- With the scan tool, perform the HVAC Actuator Calibration Test.
- CHECK THE (C27) A/C COMPRESSOR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the HVAC Module C1 harness connector.
- Disconnect the A/C Compressor Solenoid harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Measure the voltage on the (C27) A/C Compressor control circuit at the A/C Compressor Solenoid harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
- Repair the (C27) A/C Compressor control circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 4
- CHECK THE (C27) A/C COMPRESSOR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the ignition off.
- Measure the resistance of the (C27) A/C Compressor control circuit between the HVAC Module C1 harness connector and the A/C Compressor Solenoid harness connector.
Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (C27) A/C Compressor control circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 5
- CHECK THE A/C COMPRESSOR
- Diagnose the A/C Compressor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX .
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs and perform the HVAC ACTUATOR CALIBRATION TEST.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Test complete.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Disconnect all HVAC Module harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions: Proper connector installation. Damaged connector locks. Corrosion. Other signs of water intrusion. Weather seal damage (if equipped). Bent terminals. Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw). Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity. Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension. Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all HVAC Module harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read HVAC Module DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace the HVAC Module in accordance with the Service information. Refer to MODULE, HVAC, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .
- Test complete.
