Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- PERFORM THE APPROPRIATE HVAC ACTUATOR CALIBRATION / AUTO ADDRESSING ROUTINE TEST AND CHECK FOR THE DTC TO RETURN NOTE:
NO HVAC mode or temp functions will perform as desired unless auto-addressing was successful.
NOTE:NO Heated/Vented Seats functions will operate unless auto-addressing was successful.
NOTE:Auto-addressing needs to be done every time a CSM/CSWSM/CRSM or an Actuator is replaced.
NOTE:Diagnose and repair all LIN Bus related DTC's before performing this test procedure.
With the scan tool, perform the appropriate HVAC Actuator Calibration/Auto Addressing Routine and recheck DTCs.
Did any of the above test routines fail?
Yes
- Replace the faulty component that failed the HVAC Actuator Calibration/Auto Addressing Routine and or LIN issue in Accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Perform the TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION procedure, if DTC is still present proceed to step 3. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
