Circuit System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the HVAC harness connector at the a/c switch.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the HVAC control module ground circuit terminal C1 pin 12 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool ECM A/C request parameter is No or open.
- If not the specified value, test the a/c request signal circuit terminal HVAC control module terminal C1 pin 8 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC Control Module.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal C1 pin 8 and the ground circuit terminal C1 pin 12. Verify the scan tool ECM a/c request switch parameter is YES or closed.
- If not the specified value, test the a/c request signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
