NOTE: Check for bulletins before proceeding.
- Ignition ON.
- Verify every applicable scan tool Switch parameter changes when
pressing the appropriate switch on the
A26 HVAC Controls.
If any parameter does not change
Replace the A26 HVAC Controls.
If all parameters change
- Verify the blower motor operates properly with the blower motor switch
in each speed position.
If the blower motor does not operate in each speed position
Refer to DTC B0193.
If the blower motor operates properly in each speed position
- Verify the HVAC doors listed below move when pressing the appropriate
switch.
- Temperature
- Mode
- Recirculation
If any HVAC door does not move
Refer to DTC B0223, B0233, B023A, or B0408 (C67)
If all HVAC doors move
- Install the J43600 ACR Air Conditioning Service Center, ignition ON.
- Verify the high side pressure reading on the Air Conditioning Service
Center is within 10% of the scan
tool ECM A/C High Side Pressure Sensor parameter.
If the reading is not within 10%
Refer to DTC P0532 or P0533.
If the reading is within 10%
- Verify the HVAC A/C High Side Pressure Sensor parameter is between
269-2929 kPa (39-425 PSI).
If the reading is not between 269-2929 kPa (39-425 PSI)
Refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Performance Test
If the reading is between 269-2929 kPa (39-425 PSI)
- Verify the scan tool HVAC A/C Evaporator Temperature Sensor parameter
listed is within 10% of
ambient temperature.
If not within 10% of ambient temperature
Refer to DTC B3933.
If within 10% of ambient temperature
- Verify the A/C compressor clutch engages and disengages when commanding
the ECM A/C Compressor
Clutch Relay On and Off with a scan tool.
If the A/C compressor does not engage
Refer to DTC P0645, P0646, or P0647
If the A/C compressor does engage
- Engine ON, A/C system ON
- Verify cool air flows from the ducts with the temperature control in the
coldest position.
If the air is not cool
- Verify the Q2 A/C Compressor Clutch is engaged.
- If the Q2 A/C Compressor Clutch is not engaged, refer to Air
Conditioning Compressor
Malfunction (C67).
- If the Q2 A/C Compressor Clutch is engaged, refer to Air Conditioning
(A/C) System
Performance Test .
If the air is cool
- Verify warm air flows from the ducts with the temperature control in the
warmest position.
If the air is not warm
Refer to Heating Performance Diagnostic .
If the air is warm
- All OK.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.
