WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition ON, cover the sunload sensor assembly with a shop towel or other suitable item. Verify the scan tool Right Sunload Sensor and Left Sunload Sensor parameters are within 3 counts of each other.
    • If not within the specified range, refer to Sun Load Sensor Circuit Malfunction below.
  2. Measure actual outside air temperature using a thermometer. Compare this value to the scan tool Outside Air Temp. Raw parameter. The measured temperature should be within 5 degrees of parameter.
    • If not within the specified range, refer to Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Malfunction below.
  3. Measure actual inside air temperature using a thermometer. Compare this value to the scan tool Inside Air Temp. Sensor parameter and Aux. Inside Air Temp. parameter. The measured temperature should be within 5 degrees of parameter.
    • If not within the specified range, refer to Inside Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Malfunction below.
  4. Measure actual temperature using a thermometer at each of the duct temperature sensors. Compare this value to the appropriate scan tool Duct Actual parameter. The measured temperature should be within 5 degrees of appropriate Duct Actual parameter.
    • If not within the specified range, refer to Duct Temperature Sensor Circuit Malfunction below.
