      For DATC systems,  if the LH temperature is warmer than ambient temperature, GO to PINPOINT TEST O  and DIAGNOSE for inoperative blend door.

      For DATC systems,  if the RH temperature is warmer than ambient temperature, GO to PINPOINT TEST P  and DIAGNOSE for inoperative blend door.

      If the outlet temperature is significantly colder than ambient temperature and the A/C compressor clutch cycles normally, GO to PINPOINT TEST N .

      If the outlet temperature is significantly colder than ambient temperature and the A/C compressor clutch is engaged and does not cycle, GO to PINPOINT TEST M .

  5. H5 VERIFY A/C CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT IN THE A/C MODE 
    • Make sure the ambient air temperature is above 2°C (36°F).
