HVAC Control Module Scan Tool Output Controls

Output Control	Description
Afterblow Option	When afterblow is activated the scan tool displays an *.
Blower Motor	The scan tool displays Off or On selections. This function allows you to command the blower motor to its maximum (100%) or minimum (0%) speeds for 5 seconds.
Compressor Clutch	The scan tool displays the A/C compressor clutch status: Engage or Disengage. This function allows you to command the A/C compressor clutch On and Off.
Driver Temp. Door	The scan tool displays On or Off selections. The selection drives the actuator to its minimum (cold) or maximum (hot) positions for 20 seconds.
Instant OAT Update	The scan tool displays Commanded State: On or Off. This function updates the HVAC control module ambient air temperature input to the current raw value.
Mode Door Position	The scan tool displays On or Off selections. This function drives the actuator to its minimum (defrost) or maximum (upper) positions for 20 seconds.
Passenger Temp. Door	The scan tool displays On or Off selections. The selection drives the actuator to its minimum (hot) or maximum (cold) positions for 20 seconds.
Recalibrate All Motors	When commanded the scan tool displays the actuators counts moving from hot to cold until the re-cal is complete.
Recirculation Door	The scan tool displays On or Off selections. This function drives the actuator to its minimum (outside air) or maximum (recirculate) stops for 20 seconds.
