PINPOINT TEST E : The Auxiliary Temperature, Mode, and Blower Motor Controls Are Inoperative Or Do Not Operate Correctly Using the Rear Auxiliary Controls Only

  1. E1 CHECK THE CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE HVAC MODULE AND THE AUXILIARY CLIMATE CONTROL ASSEMBLY FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Auxiliary Climate Control Assembly.
    • Disconnect: HVAC Module C228B.
    • Ignition ON.

    Is voltage present on any of the circuits? 

    Yes  REPAIR the circuit in question.
    No  GO to  E2.
  2. E2 CHECK THE CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE HVAC MODULE AND THE AUXILIARY CLIMATE CONTROL ASSEMBLY FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    • Ignition OFF.

    Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  E3.
    No  REPAIR the circuit in question.
  3. E3 CHECK THE CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE HVAC MODULE AND THE AUXILIARY CLIMATE CONTROL ASSEMBLY FOR AN OPEN

    • Disconnect: HVAC Module C228B.

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  INSTALL a new auxiliary climate control assembly. Refer to Auxiliary Climate Control Assembly . TEST the system for normal operation. If the condition returns, GO to  E4.
    No  REPAIR the circuit in question.
  4. E4 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. For EMTC, REFER to Climate Control - EMTC . For DAMB, REFER to Climate Control - DATC .
    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.
