Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs and record on the repair order.
- Record the Environmental Data.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Go To 2
- PERFORM HVAC ACTUATOR CALIBRATION TEST
- CHECK THE HARNESS CONNECTORS FOR DAMAGE
- Check for loose, damaged or corroded connections on the Left Blend Door Actuator harness connector and HVAC Module harness connector.
Are there any loose or damaged harness connectors?
Yes
- Repair the harness connectors as necessary.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Go to 4
- Check for loose, damaged or corroded connections on the Left Blend Door Actuator harness connector and HVAC Module harness connector.
- CHECK THE (C255) LEFT BLEND DOOR DRIVER 2 CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Turn the Ignition off.
- Disconnect the Left Blend Door Actuator harness connector.
- Disconnect the HVAC Module harness connector.
- Using a multimeter, check the resistance of the (C255) Left Blend Door Driver 2 circuit between pin 6 of the Left Blend Door Actuator harness connector and pin 47 of the HVAC Module harness connector.
Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (C255) Left Blend Door Driver 2 circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Go to Step 5.
- CHECK THE LEFT BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR FOR PROPER OPERATION
- Replace the Left Blend Door Actuator in accordance with the Service Information.
- With the scan tool, erase HVAC DTCs and perform the HVAC Actuator Calibration Test.
Did this DTC reset?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Test complete.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Disconnect all HVAC Module harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- 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.
- Reconnect all HVAC Module harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read HVAC Module DTCs.
