Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs and record on the repair order.
- Record the Environmental Data.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS TEST. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- CHECK THE (C140) OUTSIDE AIR INLET DRIVE CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
- Disconnect the HVAC Module C1 harness connector.
- Disconnect the Recirculation Door harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the (C140) Outside Air Inlet Drive circuit between the HVAC Module C1 harness connector and the Recirculation Door Actuator harness connector.
Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohm?
Yes
- Repair the (C140) Outside Air Inlet Drive circuit for an open.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 3
- CHECK THE (C141) RECIRCULATION AIR INLET DRIVE CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
- Measure the resistance of the (C141) Recirculation Air Inlet Drive circuit between the HVAC Module C1 harness connector and the Recirculation Door harness connector.
Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohm?
Yes
- Repair the (C141) Recirculation Air Inlet Drive circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 4
- CHECK THE RECIRCULATION DOOR ACTUATOR FOR PROPER OPERATION
- Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
- Replace the Recirculation Door Actuator in Accordance with the Service Information. Refer to ACTUATOR, RECIRCULATION DOOR, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Ignition on, engine not running.
- Using the scan tool, erase HVAC DTCs.
- Cycle the ignition off for 30 seconds then back on.
- With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs.
Does this DTC reset?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Test complete.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Disconnect all HVAC Module harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all HVAC Module harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read HVAC Module DTCs.
