Diagnostic Test

  1. READ AND RECORD DTCS AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA - ERASE DTCS AND CHECK FOR THE DTC TO RETURN 
    1. With the scan tool, read DTCs in all Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and record on the repair order.
    2. With the scan tool, run a Vehicle Scan Report or record the Environmental Data.
    3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    4. Turn the ignition off for at least 10.0 seconds.
    5. Turn the ignition on.
    6. Using the recorded Environmental Data and the When Monitored Conditions, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    7. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

    Did the DTC return?

    Yes 

    • Go To  2

    No 

  2. CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE LEFT FLOOR DUCT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CONNECTOR AND TERMINALS 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Check the temperature sensor and harness connector and terminals for improper installation, damage, and corrosion.

    Were any problems found?

    Yes 

    • Repair the connector and terminals as necessary.
    • Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    • Go To  3
  3. ISOLATE AND CHECK THE (C164) LEFT FLOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. The ignition must be off when checking a circuit for continuity to ground.
    2. Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the component harness connectors containing the circuit being tested. Note:  Use the wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit. Check the disconnected connectors and related harnesses for damage, corrosion, and loose fitting terminals.
    3. Connect the negative lead of the Digital Volt-Ohm Meter (DVOM) to a known good ground.
    4. With the positive lead of the DVOM, probe the circuit being tested at the component harness connector and check for continuity between the circuit and ground.
    NOTE:

    When back-probing a circuit at a harness connector, always use an appropriate back probing tool to prevent damage to the connector terminals.

    Is there continuity between ground and the circuit being tested?

    Yes 

    • Repair the circuit for a short to ground. Use the wiring diagram as a guide to trace the circuit and identify any in-line connectors that may help isolate the location of the short.
    • Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    • Go To  4
  4. ISOLATE AND CHECK THE (C164) LEFT FLOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO ANOTHER CIRCUIT AT THE HVAC MODULE HARNESS CONNECTOR 
    1. The ignition must be off when performing a resistance check to find a short between circuits.
    2. Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the ECU and the component harness connectors containing the circuit being tested. Note:  Use the wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit. Check the disconnected connectors and related harnesses for damage, corrosion, and loose fitting terminals.
    3. Connect one lead of the DVOM to the circuit being tested at the ECU harness connector.
    4. With the other lead of the DVOM probe all other circuits at the ECU harness connector.
    NOTE:

    When back-probing a circuit at a harness connector, always use an appropriate back probing tool to prevent damage to the connector terminals.

    Is there continuity between the circuit being tested and any other circuit?

    Yes 

    • Repair the circuit for a short to another circuit. Use the wiring diagram as a guide to trace the circuits and look for any in-line connectors to help isolate the location of the short.
    • Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    • Go To  5
  5. CHECK THE LEFT FLOOR DUCT TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
    TEMPERATURE VS RESISTANCE

    Temperature Resistance
    -40°C (-40°F) 98, 008Ω - 103, 892Ω
    -30°C (-22°F) 51, 739Ω - 54, 461Ω
    -20°C (-4°F) 28, 469Ω - 29, 773Ω
    -10°C (14°F) 16, 277Ω - 16, 921Ω
    0°C (32°F) 9, 632Ω - 9, 958Ω
    10°C (50°F) 5, 886Ω - 6, 054Ω
    20°C (68°F) 3, 703Ω - 3, 791Ω
    30°C (86°F) 2, 389Ω - 2, 445Ω
    40°C (104°F) 1, 576Ω - 1, 620Ω
    1. Disconnect the Left Floor Duct Temperature Sensor harness connector.
    2. Note the ambient temperature. If necessary, allow the sensor to acclimate for the most accurate reading.
    3. Measure the resistance across the Signal and Sensor Ground terminals at the sensor.
    4. Compare the resistance reading to the Temperature vs. Resistance table.

      Is the resistance within specification for the temperature?

      Yes 

      • Go To  6

      No 

  6. CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS 
    1. Disconnect all HVAC Module harness connectors.
    2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
    3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
    4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
      • Proper connector installation.
      • Damaged connector locks.
      • Corrosion.
      • Other signs of water intrusion.
      • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
      • Bent terminals.
      • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
      • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
      • Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.

      Repair any conditions that are found.

    5. Reconnect all HVAC Module harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    9. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    10. With the scan tool, read HVAC Module DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      No 

      • The wiring or poor connection problem has been repaired.
      • Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .
