SYMPTOM CHART

Condition	Possible Sources	Action
No communication with the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module	Fuse(s) Circuitry short/open EATC module communication network	GO to PINPOINT TEST E .
The EATC system is inoperative, intermittent or incorrect operation	Fuse(s) Circuitry short/open EATC module	GO to PINPOINT TEST F .
Incorrect/erratic direction of airflow from outlets - manual climate control	No vacuum to the A/C control Function selector switch Vacuum hose kinked/pinched Airflow door binding/stuck Vacuum control motor A/C vacuum check valve A/C vacuum reservoir tank and bracket Vacuum actuator arm not connected to the door crank	GO to PINPOINT TEST G .
Incorrect/erratic direction of airflow from outlets - EATC	EATC module No vacuum to the A/C control Vacuum hose kinked/pinched Airflow door binding/stuck Vacuum control motor A/C vacuum check valve A/C vacuum reservoir tank and bracket Vacuum actuator arm not connected to the door crank	GO to PINPOINT TEST H .
Insufficient, erratic, or no heat - EATC and manual climate control	Low engine coolant level Engine overheating Plugged or partially plugged heater core Temperature blend door binding/stuck Temperature blend door actuator	GO to PINPOINT TEST I .
The air conditioning (A/C) is inoperative/does not operate correctly	Fuse(s) Circuitry short/open A/C cycling switch A/C system discharged/low charge A/C pressure cutoff switch EATC module Function selector switch	GO to PINPOINT TEST J .
Insufficient air conditioning (A/C) cooling	Low refrigerant level Temperature blend door actuator	CARRY OUT the refrigerant system tests. REFER to REFRIGERANT SYSTEM TESTS . If OK, GO to PINPOINT TEST A for vehicle equipped with EATC, or if equipped with manual climate control, GO to PINPOINT TEST L .
The air conditioning (A/C) is always on	Circuitry short/open A/C control relay EATC module Function selector switch	GO to PINPOINT TEST K .
Temperature control is inoperative/does not operate correctly - manual climate control	Temperature blend door actuator control Temperature blend door Temperature blend door actuator motor Circuitry open/shorted	GO to PINPOINT TEST L .
The blower motor is inoperative - manual climate control	Fuse(s) Circuitry open/shorted A/C blower motor switch A/C blower motor resistor A/C blower motor	GO to PINPOINT TEST M .
The blower motor is inoperative - EATC	Fuse(s) Circuitry short/open Blower motor relay A/C blower motor A/C blower motor speed control	GO to PINPOINT TEST N .
The blower motor does not operate correctly - manual climate control	Circuitry short/open A/C blower motor resistor A/C blower motor switch	CARRY OUT the blower motor resistor component test. If the blower motor resistor tests good, GO to PINPOINT TEST O .
The blower motor does not operate correctly - EATC	Circuitry short/open A/C blower motor speed control EATC module	GO to PINPOINT TEST P .
The steering wheel control switch is inoperative/does not operate correctly	Circuitry short/open Steering wheel control switch EATC module	GO to PINPOINT TEST Q .
The temperature set point does not repeat after turning the ignition switch OFF - EATC	Fuse(s) Circuitry short/open EATC module	CHECK circuit 1566 (RD/YE) for a short or open and repair as necessary. If OK, INSTALL a new EATC module.
The temperature display will not switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit - EATC	EATC module	PRESS the MAX A/C and DEFROST buttons simultaneously for at least 0.75 second. If the temperature display does not switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, INSTALL a new EATC module.
Inaccurate external temperature display	EATC module	REFER to description and operation of the EATC EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE DISPLAY . If the external temperature display is not operating as described and no DTC is present, CARRY OUT the TEMPERATURE SENSOR - AMBIENT component test. If the sensor tests OK, INSTALL a new EATC module. REFER to CLIMATE CONTROL . TEST the system for normal operation.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
