Duct Temperature Sensor Circuit Malfunction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate temperature sensor.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- Ignition ON, verify the appropriate Duct Temp Sensor Actual parameter is greater than 85°C (185°F).
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2. Verify the scan tool Duct Temp Sensor Actual parameter is less than -35°C (-39°F).
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate temperature sensor.
