Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic 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:Auto-addressing needs to be done every time the HVAC Module or an HVAC Actuator is replaced.
NOTE:Diagnose and repair all LIN Bus related DTC's before performing this test procedure.

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 .
- INSPECT THE DOOR, DUCTS, AND LINKAGE FOR CONDITIONS THAT COULD CAUSE BINDING
- Inspect the door and linkage for conditions that could cause the door to not move freely across the total travel of the door.
- Check for debris or objects in the ducts that could hinder the door movement.
- Inspect the door stops for damage.
- If necessary to gain access to the applicable door and ducts. Refer to HOUSING, HVAC, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
.
Were any problems found?
Yes
