Climate Control System Symptom Troubleshooting Index (Climate Control)
| Symptom | Diagnostic Procedure | Also Check for |
|---|---|---|
| The blower and the heater controls and the A/C system do not work | Probable cause: Climate control unit malfunction Do the climate control power and ground circuit troubleshooting |
|
| The A/C compressor clutch and the A/C condenser/radiator fans are inoperative, but the blower and heater controls work | Probable cause: A/C pressure sensor circuit malfunction or evaporator temperature sensor circuit malfunction Troubleshoot the A/C pressure sensor circuit: NOTE: The A/C pressure sensor circuit can malfunction without setting a DTC |
|
| The A/C compressor clutch does not engage, but the A/C condenser/radiator fans operate, and the blower and heater controls work | Probable cause: No power to the A/C compressor clutch |
|
| The A/C condenser/radiator fans do not run at low speed with the A/C on, but the blower and heater controls work normally | Probable cause: A/C condenser/radiator fan low speed circuit malfunction Do the radiator and A/C condenser fan low speed circuit troubleshooting |
|
| The A/C condenser/radiator fans do not run at high speed, but do run at low speed with the A/C on | Probable cause: Malfunction in the fan(s) high speed circuit Do the following troubleshooting as needed: |
|
| The blower fan runs slower than expected in cold weather (when in AUTO mode) NOTE: It is normal for the blower fan to run slowly until the coolant temperature rises when in AUTO mode |
Probable cause: Engine coolant temperature (ECT) circuit malfunction Troubleshooting the ECT sensor circuit: |
|
| Symptom | Diagnostic Procedure | Also Check for |
|---|---|---|
| The A/C compressor clutch cycles rapidly on and off | Probable cause:
|
|
| Driver's and passenger's side vent temperatures vary by more than 20 deg.F (11 deg.C) |
|
|
| HDS does not communicate with the climate control unit or the vehicle | Troubleshoot the DLC circuit | |
| Insufficient heating |
