Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs and record on the repair order.
    2. Record the Environmental Data.
    3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    4. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    5. With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK THE (C134) RIGHT PANEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
    2. Disconnect the HVAC Module C1 harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the Right Panel Temperature Sensor harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance between ground and the (C134) Right Panel Temperature Sensor Signal circuit.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (C134) Right Panel Temperature Sensor Signal circuit for a short to ground.
      • Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE (C134) RIGHT PANEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO THE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT 
    1. Measure the resistance between the (C134) Right Panel Temperature Sensor Signal circuit and the Sensor Ground circuit.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (C134) Right Panel Temperature Sensor Signal circuit for a short to the Sensor Ground circuit.
      • Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK THE RIGHT PANEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
    1. Replace the Right Panel Temperature Sensor in Accordance with the Service Information. Refer to SENSOR, TEMPERATURE, AIR OUTLET, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
    2. Cycle the ignition off for 30 seconds then back on.
    3. With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs.

      Does this DTC reset?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

  5. CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS 
    1. Disconnect all HVAC Module harness connectors.
    2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
    3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
    4. 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.

    5. Reconnect all HVAC Module harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    9. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    10. With the scan tool, read HVAC Module DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      No
