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.
- Clear any DTC's.
- Operate all HVAC system controls with the engine running at normal operating temperature.
- 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).
