Diagnostic Test
- CHECK IF THE DTC IS ACTIVE
- With the scan tool, read Electric Vehicle Control Unit (EVCU) DTCs.
Is the status for this DTC Active?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- With the scan tool, read Electric Vehicle Control Unit (EVCU) DTCs.
- CHECK THE (C21) A/C SHUTOFF VALVE CONTROL CIRCUIT
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the A/C Shutoff Valve harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, actuate the Refrigerant Shutoff Valve.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (C21) A/C Shutoff Valve Control circuit at the A/C Shutoff Valve harness connector.NOTE:
The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Go To 3
- CHECK THE (C21) A/C SHUTOFF VALVE CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- With the scan tool, turn off the actuator for the Refrigerant Shutoff Valve.
- Turn the ignition off. Remove the key from the Ignition Switch, close doors and allow the EVCU to shut down.NOTE:
Allow up to two minutes for the EVCU to shut down. Opening the vehicle door will interrupt the shut down process.
- Disconnect the EVCU C2 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the (C21) A/C Shutoff Valve Control circuit between the A/C Shutoff Valve harness connector and the EVCU C2 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 1.0 Ohm?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Repair the (C21) A/C Shutoff Valve Control circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- CHECK THE (Z910) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- With the scan tool, turn off the actuator for the Refrigerant Shutoff Valve.
- Turn the ignition off.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, check the (Z910) Ground Circuit at the A/C Shutoff Valve harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Repair the (C21) A/C Shutoff Valve Control circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- CHECK THE A/C SHUTOFF VALVE
- Replace the A/C Shutoff Valve in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to LINE, A/C LIQUID, REMOVAL .
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, erase EVCU DTCs.
- Cycle the ignition off and then on.
- With the scan tool, read EVCU DTCs.
Is the status for this DTC Active?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Test Complete
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- ELECTRIC VEHICLE CONTROL UNIT (EVCU)
- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the A/C Shutoff Valve and the Electric Vehicle Control Unit (EVCU).
- Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
- Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
- Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Were there any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Replace and program the Electric Vehicle Control Module (EVCU) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to UNIT, ELECTRIC VEHICLE CONTROL (EVCU), REMOVAL .
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
