Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector C2 at the HVAC Control Assembly.
  2. Disconnect the REAR DEFOG relay.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 13 and ground.
  4. Ignition ON, command the Rear Defog Relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the HVAC Control Assembly.
