Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  Tests for a default setting viewed by the scan tool.
  2. 4:  Tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the high voltage range.
  3. 5:  Tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the low voltage range. If the fuse in the jumper opens when you perform this test, the signal circuit is shorted to voltage.
  4. 6:  Tests for a short to ground in the 5 volt reference circuit.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, observe the appropriate Mix Mtr Position Feedback parameter in the Heating and Air Conditioning data list.
Does the scan tool indicate that the appropriate Mix Mtr Position Feedback parameter is within the specified range?		 5-250 counts Go to Step 3  Go to Step 4 
3  Place the appropriate air temperature switch from the warmest position to the coldest position.
Does the scan tool indicate that the value of the appropriate Mix Mtr Position Feedback parameter remains near the specified value?		 127 counts Go to Step 4  Go to Diagnostic Aids

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Connect a 3 amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit of the air temperature actuator and the low reference circuit of the air temperature actuator.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Measure the voltage from the jumper wire to a good ground.
Is the voltage less than the specified value?		 0.09 V Go to Step 6  Go to Step 10 
6 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the fused jumper wire.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Measure the voltage from the 5 volt reference circuit at the air temperature actuator connector to a good ground.
Is the voltage more than the specified value?		 4.90 V Go to Step 8  Go to Step 7 
7 Test the 5 volt reference circuit of the air temperature actuator for a short to ground, or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 13 
8 Test the 5 volt reference circuit of the air temperature actuator for a short to voltage, a high resistance, or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 12 
9 Test the signal circuit of the air temperature actuator for a short to ground, or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 13 
10 Test the signal circuit of the air temperature actuator for a short to voltage, a high resistance, or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 11 
11 Test the low reference circuit of the air temperature actuator for a high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 13 
12 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the air temperature actuator. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 14 
13 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the HVAC control module. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 15
