Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 GMC Acadia, 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2016 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the auxiliary HVAC control assembly.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for an short to voltage.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for an short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the auxiliary HVAC control assembly. Disconnect the X1 harness connector at the HVAC control module.
- Ignition ON, verify voltage at the signal circuit terminal 19 varies between 0.5-4.5 volts while varying the auxiliary blower speed from low to high.
- If not within the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage, a short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the auxiliary HVAC control assembly.
- Verify voltage at the signal circuit terminal 10 varies between 0.5-4.5 volts while varying the auxiliary temperature setting from warm to cool.
- If not within the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage, a short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the auxiliary HVAC control assembly.
- Verify voltage at the signal circuit terminal 9 varies between 0.5-4.5 volts while selecting the three mode positions.
- If not within the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage, a short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the auxiliary HVAC control assembly.
- Ignition OFF, connect the X1 harness connector at the HVAC control module.
- Ignition ON, verify the auxiliary blower motor speed changes while varying the blower speed setting on the auxiliary HVAC control assembly.
- If the blower speed does not vary, refer to Auxiliary Blower Motor Malfunction , (RPO CJ2) or Auxiliary Blower Motor Malfunction (RPO C67 or CJ3).
- If all circuits test normal, replace the HVAC control module.
