Circuit/System Verification
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition ON, cover the sunload sensor assembly with a shop towel or other suitable item. Verify the scan tool Right Sunload Sensor and Left Sunload Sensor parameters are within 3 counts of each other.
- If not within the specified range, refer to Sun Load Sensor Circuit Malfunction.
- Measure actual outside air temperature using a thermometer. Compare this value to the scan tool Outside Air Temp. Raw parameter. The measured temperature should be within 5 degrees of parameter.
- If not within the specified range, refer to Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Malfunction.
- Measure actual inside air temperature using a thermometer. Compare this value to the scan tool Inside Air Temp. Sensor parameter. The measured temperature should be within 5 degrees of parameter.
- If not within the specified range, refer to Inside Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Malfunction.
- Measure actual temperature using a thermometer at each of the duct temperature sensors. Compare this value to the appropriate scan tool Duct Actual parameter. The measured temperature should be within 5 degrees of appropriate Duct Actual parameter.
- If not within the specified range, refer to Duct Temperature Sensor Circuit Malfunction.
- Ignition ON, command the heater core pump ON and OFF with a scan tool. Observe the operation of heater core pump.
- If the heater core coolant pump does not turn on and off with each command, refer to Heater Core Coolant Pump Malfunction.
