Pinpoint Test X : B1A69:11, B1A69:15

  1. X1 CHECK FOR HVAC MODULE DTCs

    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a scan tool, perform a HVAC module self-test.

    Are DTCs C1B14:11 or C1B14:12 present? 

    Yes  GO to Pinpoint Test C .
    No  GO to  X2.

  2. X2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE IN-VEHICLE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY SENSOR

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: In-Vehicle Temperature and Humidity Sensor.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead

      		 Ground

    Is the voltage between 4.7 and 5 volts? 

    Yes  For DTC B1A69:11, GO to  X3. For DTC B1A69:15, GO to  X4.
    No  REPAIR the circuit.

  3. X3 CHECK THE HUMIDITY SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: HVAC Module C228A
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2247-4

      		 Ground

    Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  X6.
    No  REPAIR the circuit.

  4. X4 CHECK THE HUMIDITY SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN CIRCUIT

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: HVAC Module C228B.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2247-4
      GFD33596Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      		 C228B-18

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  X5.
    No  REPAIR the circuit.

  5. X5 CHECK THE HUMIDITY SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO POWER

    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2247-4
      GFD33595Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      		 Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    Yes  REPAIR the circuit.
    No  GO to  X6.

  6. X6 ISOLATE THE IN-VEHICLE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY SENSOR

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Connect: HVAC Module C228A.
    • Connect: HVAC Module C228B.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a scan tool, perform a HVAC module self-test.

    Does the DTC return? 

    Yes  GO to  X7.
    No  The cause of the concern was an inoperative in-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor.

  7. X7 CHECK FOR CORRECT HVAC MODULE OPERATION

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect and inspect all HVAC module connectors.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the HVAC module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new HVAC module. Refer to Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) Module .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
