(3) The calibration procedure should take less than
two minutes to complete for the manual heater-A/C
control, and less than twenty seconds for the ATC
heater-A/C control. When the LEDs or graphics stop
flashing, the calibration procedure is complete.
(4) If the LEDs or graphics continue to flash
beyond the normal three minute (manual) or twenty
second (ATC) calibration time, it indicates that the
heater-A/C control has detected a failure and a Diag-
nostic Trouble Code (DTC) has been set. Use a
DRBIIItscan tool to perform further diagnosis. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information. The LEDs
or graphics will continue to flash even after the igni-
tion switch is cycled Off and On, until a successful
calibration is completed or until the vehicle has been
driven about 13 kilometers (8 miles).
