Affected Vehicles

Condition

HVAC, Temperature Output Control Cannot Be Adjusted

Customer states cannot adjust temperature and/or A/C is not cold.

Technical Background

The blend door control lever moves freely, but the blend door does not operate.





A bushing that fits on the lever may have a broken tab/clip, -arrows-, as shown.

This tab/clip may cause the bushing to fall out of the fresh air housing which can result in the door becoming inoperative and result in undesired air temperature.

Production Solution

No production change required.

Service Procedure

Tip:

In the past the entire fresh air housing was replaced because the bushing was not available as a separate part. The bushing is now available as a separate part.

The bushing can be accessed from under the center console.





^ Remove the panels near the foot wells at the passenger side of the console, -arrows-, as shown.

See Repair Manual, Body-Interior, Repair Group 68 - Interior Equipment for removal procedure.





^ This will expose the location of the control lever, -arrow-, as shown.





^ Re-bolt a new bushing onto the lever, -arrow-, as shown.

^ Re-insert the bushing with lever onto the blend door until it is firmly secured in the housing.

Tip:





A mirror can be used to aid in identifying the orientation of the blend door when re-securing the bushing in the fresh air housing, -arrow-, as shown.

^ Reinstall panels.
