Pinpoint Test P: All HVAC Functions Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 54, Manual Climate Control System for schematic and connector information Electrical Diagrams.

Normal Operation

The HVAC module receives a ground. The HVAC module is supplied constant battery voltage and ignition voltage.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors

- HVAC module

- Battery

- Charging system concern

PINPOINT TEST P : ALL HVAC FUNCTIONS INOPERATIVE

P1 CHECK THE HVAC MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

- Ignition OFF.

- Disconnect: HVAC Module C228A.

- Ignition ON.

- With the engine running, measure the voltage between ground and:
- HVAC module C228A-10, circuit SBP07 (WH/RD), harness side.

- HVAC module C228A-14, circuit CBP21 (BU/GY), harness side.






Are the voltages greater than 10 volts?

Yes
GO to P2.

No
REPAIR circuit SBP07 (WH/RD) or CBP21 (BU/GY) for high resistance. CLEAR all CMDTCs (Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes). REPEAT the self-test.

P2 CHECK THE HVAC MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

- Ignition OFF.

- Measure the resistance between ground and HVAC module C228A-13, circuit GD115 (BK/GY), harness side.





Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
GO to P3.

No
REPAIR circuit GD115 (BK/GY) for high resistance. CLEAR all CMDTCs (Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes). REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

P3 CHECK THE HVAC MODULE CONNECTION

- Disconnect all the HVAC module connectors.

- Inspect the HVAC module connectors for:
- corrosion.
- pushed-out terminals.
- damaged terminals.


- Connect and correctly seat all the HVAC module connectors.

- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes
INSTALL a new HVAC module. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
