2008 Chevrolet Chevy Express G3500, Van Passenger ExtendedSECTION Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the air temperature actuator.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm between the air temperature actuator ground circuit terminal 7 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the air temperature actuator ignition circuit terminal 10 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, replace the air temperature actuator.
- Install a DMM between the control circuit terminal 8 and ground. Command the actuator in each direction. Voltage on the control circuit should change from 0 volts when commanding the actuator in one direction to 12 volts in the other direction.
- If the voltage does not change as specified, replace the HVAC control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the air temperature actuator.
