B1079–CLIMATE CONTROL COOL DOWN TEST EXCESSIVE TIME (SINGLE-ZONE)
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
Theory of Operation
The Cooldown Test checks A/C system performance based on Evaporator Temperature Sensor input. The main cri-
teria is to lower evaporator temperature 11.11°C (20°F) within one minute. Before starting the test, the evaporator
temperature must be above 13°C (55°F) and the front blower speed must be setto high speed. When the test is
running, A/C Select and A/C Request will be on and the A/C status indicator will flash. When the test is complete,
the scan tool will display one or more test status messages to indicate the outcome of the Cooldown Test. A Suc-
cessful Cooldown – Test Passed status message indicates that the main testcriteria was met. A DTC Set During
Routine – Test Not Passed status message indicates that the A/C system is unable to lower the evaporator tem-
perature 11.11°C (20°F) within one minute. A Conditions Too Cold – Test NotRun status message indicates that the
evaporator temperature was below 13°C (55°F) when starting the Cooldown Test. A Blowers Not On High – Test Not
Run status message indicates that either the front blower speed was not setto high speed prior to starting the
Cooldown Test or the front blower speed was changed from high speed to another setting after starting the
Cooldown test. A Refrigerant Temperature Sensor Error status message indicates that a fault occurred with the
Evaporator Temperature Sensor/sensor circuits. A No Results Stored/Test Not Complete status message indicates
that the power was cycled while the test was running.

HVAC - SERVICE INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
A manually controlled single zone type heating-air conditioning system or a manually controlleddualzonetypeheat-
ing-air conditioning system is available on this model.
To maintain the performance level of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the engine cooling
system must be properly maintained. The use of a bug screen is not recommended. Any obstructions in front of the
radiator or A/C condenser will reduce the performance of the A/C and enginecooling systems.
The engine cooling system includes the radiator, thermostat, radiator hoses and the engine coolant pump. Refer to
7 - Cooling for more information before opening or attempting any service to the engine cooling system.
All vehicles are equipped with a common heater, ven-
tilation and air conditioning (HVAC) housing (1). The
system combines air conditioning, heating, and venti-
lating capabilities in a single unit housing mounted
within the passenger compartment under the instru-
ment panel. The HVAC housing includes:
Blend-air door(s) and actuator(s) (2)
Recirculation-air door and actuator (3)
A/C evaporator (4)
Blower motor (5)
Blower motor resistor (6)
Evaporator temperature sensor (7)
Heater core (8)
Mode-air doors and actuators (9)
Based upon the system and mode selected, conditioned air can exit the HVAC housing through one or a combi-
nation of the three main housing outlets: defrost, panel or floor. The defrost and the panel outlets are located on the
top of the housing and, the floor outlet is located on the bottom of the housing. Once the conditioned air exits the
HVAC housing, it is further directed through molded plastic ducts to the various outlets within the vehicle interior.
These outlets and their locations are as follows:
Defroster Outlet- A single large defroster outlet is located in the center of the instrumentpanel top cover,
near the base of the windshield.
Side Window Demister Outlets- There are two side window demister outlets, one is located at each out-
board end of the instrument panel top cover, near the belt line at the A-pillars.
Panel Outlets- There are four panel outlets in the instrument panel, one located near each outboard end of
the instrument panel facing the rear of the vehicle and two located near thetop of the instrument panel center
bezel.
Front Floor Outlets- There are two front floor outlets, one located above each side of the floorpanel center
tunnel near the dash panel.
Rear Outlets- On Mega Cab models there are two outlets located at the rear of the center front seat.
OPERATION
Both the manual temperature control (MTC) single zone and dual zone heating-A/C system are blend-air type sys-
tems. In a blend-air heating-A/C, a blend-air door controls the amount of conditioned air that is allowed to flow
through, or around, the heater core.In the available dual zone system, twoblend-air doors are used to provide
completely independent side-to-side temperature control of the discharge air. The temperature control(s) determines
the discharge air temperature(s) by operating the blend door actuator(s), which move the blend-air door(s). This
design allows almost immediate control of output air temperature(s).

The heating-A/C systems pulls outside (ambient) air
through the cowl opening at the base of the wind-
shield, then into the air inlet housing above the heat-
ing, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) housing.
On models equipped with A/C, the air passes through
the A/C evaporator (3). Air flow can be directed either
through or around the heater core (1). This is done by
adjusting the blend-air door(s) (2) with the temperature
control(s) located on the A/C-heater control in the
instrument panel. The air flow can then be directed
from the panel, floor and defrost outlets in various
combinations using the mode control located on the A/C-heater control. Air flow velocity can be adjusted with the
blower speed control located on the A/C-heater control.
On all models, the outside air intake can be shut off by selecting the Recirculation Mode with the mode control. This
will operate a electrically actuated recirculation-air door (4) that closes off the fresh air intake and recirculates the air
that is already inside the vehicle.
On models with A/C, the A/C compressor can be engaged in any mode by pressingthe snowflake, A/C on/off but-
ton. It can also be engaged by placing the mode control in the mix to defrost positions. This will remove heat and
humidity from the air before it is directed through or around the heater core. The mode control on the A/C-heater
control is used to also direct the conditioned air to the selected system outlets. The mode control uses electric
actuators to control the mode-air doors (5 and 6).
The defroster outlet receives airflow from the HVAC housing through the molded plastic defroster duct, which con-
nects to the HVAC housing defroster outlet. The airflow from the defrosteroutlets is directed by fixed vanes in the
defroster outlet grilles and cannot be adjusted. The defroster outlet grilles are integral to the instrument panel top
cover.
The side window demister outlets receive airflow from the HVAC housing through the molded plastic defroster duct
and two molded plastic demister ducts. The airflow from the side window demister outlets is directed by fixed vanes
in the demister outlet grilles and cannot be adjusted. The side window demister outlet grilles are integral to the
instrument panel. The demisters direct air from the HVAC housing through the outlets located on the top corners of
the instrument panel. The demisters operate when the mode control knob is positioned in the floor-defrost and
defrost-only settings. Some air may be noticeable from the demister outlets when the mode control is in the bi-level
to floor positions.
The panel outlets receive airflow from the HVAC housing through a molded plastic main panel duct, center panel
duct and two end panel ducts. The two end panel ducts direct airflow to the left and right instrument panel outlets,
while the center panel duct directs airflow to the two center panel outlets. Each of these outlets can be individually
adjusted to direct the flow of air.
The floor outlets receive airflow from the HVAC housing through the floor distribution duct. The front floor outlets are
integral to the molded plastic floor distribution duct, which is secured to the bottom of the housing. The floor outlets
cannot be adjusted.
NOTE: It is important to keep the air intake opening clear of debris. Leaf particles and other debris that is
small enough to pass through the cowl opening screen can accumulate withinthe HVAC housing. The
closed, warm, damp and dark environment created within the housing is ideal for the growth of certain
molds, mildews and other fungi. Any accumulation of decaying plant matterprovides an additional food
source for fungal spores, which enter the housing with the fresh intake-air. Excess debris, as well as objec-
tionable odors created by decaying plant matter and growing fungi can be discharged into the passenger
compartment during heater-A/C operation if the air intake opening is not kept clear of debris.
The A/C system on models so equipped is designed for the use of non-CFC, R-134a refrigerant and uses an A/C
fixedorificetubelocatedintheliquidlinetometertheflowofrefrigerant to the A/C evaporator. The A/C evaporator
cools and dehumidifies the incoming air prior to blending it with the heated air. To maintain minimum evaporator
temperature and prevent evaporator freezing, an evaporator temperaturesensor is used to supply evaporator tem-
perature input to the A/C-heater control. The powertrain control module (PCM) cycles the A/C compressor clutch off
and on as necessary to protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing and optimize A/C system performance.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
HEATING-A/C SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
CAUTION: Do not exchange A/C Heater Controls from vehicle to vehicle. Software versions differ between
models and model years. Installing an A/C Heater Control with software that is incompatible for a given
vehicle can result in either improper or failed HVAC system operation.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The A/C-heater control communicates on the controller area network (CAN)B bus and is fully addressable with a
scan tool.
The A/C-heater control’s primary means of fault detection is through active and stored diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs). Active DTCs are those which currently exist in the system. The condition causing the fault must be repaired
in order to clear this type of DTC. Stored DTCs are those which occurred in the system since the A/C-heater control
received the last clear diagnostic info message. DTCs must be read with a scan tool. Refer to 24 - HVAC - Elec-
trical Diagnostics for HVAC DTC diagnostic test procedures.
The A/C-heater control’s secondary means of fault detection is through system tests. These tests include the HVAC
System Test, the A/C Cooldown Test, Actuator Calibration, and Actuator DTC Detection. Refer to System Tests in
this Section for a detailed description of each test.
SYSTEM TESTS
