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
HVAC System Test
The HVAC System Test, found in 24 - HVAC - Electrical Diagnostics, providesa starting point in the diagnostic
process by identifying the appropriate diagnostic procedure or system test to perform when diagnosing a given
symptom, condition, or DTC. It also provides a means for testing the entireHVAC system by utilizing the A/C-heater
control’s On-Board System Tests. The On-Board System Tests can also assistindiagnosingstoredDTCs.
A/CCOOLDOWNTEST
The A/C Cooldown Test:
is actuated with a scan tool.
tests A/C system performance based on evaporator temperature sensor input.
will fail if evaporator temperature isbelow 13°C (55°F) when initiating the test.
will pass if the evaporator temperature drops 11°C (20°F).
indicates an outcome by displaying one or more test status messages on the scan tool. These test status
messages will clear after paging back out of this test function. Therefore, is it important to note all of the mes-
sages before doing so.
will cause the A/C status indicator to flash while the test is running.
ACTUATOR CALIBRATION FUNCTION
The Actuator Calibration function:
is actuated with a scan tool.
clears all actuator related DTCs when the test is actuated.
homes and repositions door actuators.
monitors for door span faults. Door span faults (XXX Door Travel Range Too Large or XXX Door Travel Range
Too Small) will only display after calibration.
will cause the electric backlight (EBL) status indicator (if equipped) toflash while the test is running.

HEATER PERFORMANCE
Before performing the following tests, refer to Group 7 - Cooling for the procedures to check the engine coolant
level and flow, engine coolant reserve/recovery system operation, accessory drive belt condition and tension, radi-
ator air flow and the fan drive operation. Perform the HVAC System Test (refer to 24 - HVAC Electrical Diagnostics).
If any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are found in the A/C-heater control, powertrain control module (PCM) or
engine control module (ECM) (depending on engine application), gateway module or totally integrated power module
(TIPM), repair as necessary.
MAXIMUM HEATER OUTPUT: TEST AND ACTION
Engine coolant is provided to the heater system through two heater hoses. With the engine idling at normal oper-
ating temperature, set the temperature control to maximum heat position,the mode control to the floor position, and
the blower motor control to the highest speed position. Using a test thermometer, check the temperature of the air
being discharged from the floor outlets. Compare the test thermometer reading to the Heater Temperature Refer-
ence chart.

If the heater outlet air temperature is below the minimum specification, refer to Group 7 - Cooling. Both of the heater
hoses should be hot to the touch. The coolant return heater hose should be slightly cooler than the coolant supply
heater hose. If the return hose is much cooler than the supply hose, locate and repair the engine coolant flow
obstruction in the cooling system. RefertoGroup7-Coolingformoreinformation.
OBSTRUCTED COOLANT FLOW
Possible locations or causes of obstructed coolant flow are as follows:
Faulty water pump.
Faulty thermostat.
Pinched or kinked heater hoses.
