Climate Control Preliminary DTC Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Clear any DTC's.
  2. Operate all HVAC system controls with the engine running at normal operating temperature.
  3. Check for any DTC's and perform the required diagnostics if the DTC reappears. Refer to the BODY DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - EXCEPT COUPE article for additional diagnostic Information for the A/C system.
CAUTION: DTC 26 can be created if the in-car temperature sensor is disconnected while the BCM is operating. This can happen by disconnecting connectors from the BCM or the ATC A/C-heater control with the battery connected (even with the ignition switch in the OFF position). To correct, clear DTC 26 from the BCM.
NOTE: Removing connections without disconnecting the battery may generate a DTC. The negative battery cable should always be disconnected prior to servicing any electrical component.

If a DTC does not reappear using the procedure above, check the history of the vehicle for a low battery condition, or ambient temperatures below 4° C (40° F).
