Climate Control System Symptom Troubleshooting Index(Climate Control)

Symptom  Diagnostic Procedure  Also Check for 
The blower and the heater controls and the A/C system do not work Probable cause: Climate control unit malfunction

Do the climate control power and ground circuit troubleshooting 

The A/C compressor clutch and the A/C condenser/radiator fans are inoperative, but the blower and heater controls work NOTE:  The A/C pressure sensor circuit can malfunction without setting a DTC
The A/C compressor clutch does not engage, but the A/C condenser/radiator fans operate, and the blower and heater controls work Probable cause: No power to the A/C compressor clutch

Do the A/C compressor clutch circuit troubleshooting 

The A/C condenser/radiator fans do not run at low speed with the A/C on, but the blower and heater controls work normally Probable cause: A/C condenser/radiator fan low speed circuit malfunction

Do the radiator and A/C condenser fan low speed circuit troubleshooting - Refer to: A/C Condenser Fan High Speed Circuit Troubleshooting Radiator and A/C Condenser Fan Low Speed Circuit Troubleshooting

The A/C condenser/radiator fans do not run at high speed, but do run at low speed with the A/C on Probable cause: Malfunction in the fan(s) high speed circuit

Do the following troubleshooting as needed:

Blower fan runs slower than expected in cold weather (when in AUTO mode)

NOTE:  It is normal for the blower fan to run slowly until the coolant temperature rises when in AUTO mode

Probable cause: Engine coolant temperature (ECT) circuit malfunction

Troubleshooting the ECT sensor circuit:

Symptom  Diagnostic Procedure  Also Check for 
The A/C compressor clutch cycles rapidly on and off Probable cause:
  • A/C system is overcharged
  • Radiator and/or A/C condenser fan inoperative
  • Excessive pressure on high side of system causing pressure sensor to turn A/C compressor off
  • Thermal protector problem
  • Low idle speed
Driver's and passenger's side vent temperatures vary by more than 11°C (20°F) Probable causes: The recirculation control door or the air mix doors are malfunctioning

Do the following troubleshooting:

HDS does not communicate with the climate control unit or the vehicle Troubleshoot the DLC circuit  
Insufficient heating
