Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Pontiac Torrent and 2009 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: If the evaporator air temperature sensor has an out of range condition caused by a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance, the scan tool will display the same value: 11°C (51°F).
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the evaporator temperature sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal B 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.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the low reference circuit terminal B and the signal circuit terminal A.
    • If less than the specified voltage, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
    • If greater than the specified voltage, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
  4. If all circuits test normal, replace the evaporator temperature sensor.
