Diagnostic Test

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 

• Perform the TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .

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.

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  3

1. Connect the HVAC Module harness connector.
2. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
3. A/C Compressor (Variable Displacement) Solenoid harness connector should remain disconnected.
4. Start the engine.
5. Operate the HVAC system so the A/C compressor would be commanded on.
6. With the scan tool, read DTCs

Did the DTC return?

Yes 

• Go To  4

No 

• Replace the A/C Compressor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to COMPRESSOR, A/C, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
• Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .

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 

    • Replace the HVAC Module in accordance with the Service information. Refer to MODULE, HVAC, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
    • Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HVAC VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

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