Pinpoint Test
- CHECK THE HVAC MODULE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
- Ignition ON.
- Press the POWER button on the HVAC controls.
- Measure:
Evaporator Discharge Air Temperature Sensor Evaporator Discharge Air Temperature Sensor C296 C296 Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit 1 VH406 (VT/BN) 2 RH111 (BY/BU)
Is the voltage between 4.7 and 5.1 volts?
- Yes: INSTALL a new evaporator discharge air temperature sensor. REFER to Control Components - Exploded View . CLEAR the DTCs and REPEAT the self-test. If the DTC returns, GO to 7.
- No: For DTC B1B71:11, GO to 5.
For DTC B1B71:15, GO to 2 .
- CHECK THE EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR FEEDBACK CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: HVAC Module C228A.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure:
HVAC Module Ground C228A Ground Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit 19 VH406 (VT/BN) - Ground
Is any voltage present?
- Yes: REPAIR the circuit.
- No: GO to 3 .
- CHECK THE EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR FEEDBACK CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Measure:
HVAC Module Evaporator Discharge Air Temperature Sensor C228A C296 Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit 19 VH406 (VT/BN) 1 VH406 (VT/BN)
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
- Yes: GO to 4 .
- No: REPAIR the circuit.
- CHECK THE SIGNAL RETURN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Measure:
HVAC Module Evaporator Discharge Air Temperature Sensor C228A C296 Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit 23 RH111 (GY/BU) 2 RH111 (GY/BU)
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
- Yes: GO to 7.
- No: REPAIR the circuit.
- Measure:
- CHECK THE EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR FEEDBACK CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO THE SIGNAL RETURN CIRCUIT
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: HVAC Module C228A.
- Measure:
Evaporator Discharge Air Temperature Sensor Evaporator Discharge Air Temperature Sensor C296 C296 Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit 2 RH111 (GY/BU) 1 VH406 (VT/BN)
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
- Yes: GO to 6 .
- No: REPAIR the circuits.
- CHECK THE EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR FEEDBACK CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure:
HVAC Module Ground C228A Ground Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit 19 VH406 (VT/BN) - Ground
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
- Yes: GO to 7 .
- No: REPAIR the circuit.
- Measure:
- CHECK FOR CORRECT HVAC MODULE OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect all HVAC module connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the HVAC module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes: CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new HVAC module. REFER to Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) Module .
- No: The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
