Symptom Troubleshooting Index
| Symptom | Diagnostic procedure | Also check for |
|---|---|---|
| The recirculation control doors do not change between Fresh and Recirculate | Probable cause: Recirculation control motor circuit malfunction Do the recirculation control motor circuit troubleshooting (see RECIRCULATION CONTROL MOTOR CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ) |
|
| The blower and heater controls and the A/C system do not work | Probable cause: The climate control unit malfunction Do the climate control power and ground circuit troubleshooting (see 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 Troubleshoot the A/C pressure sensor circuit:
NOTE:
The A/C pressure sensor 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:
|
|
| The A/C condenser fan and/or the radiator fan do not run with the A/C on | Probable cause: A/C condenser/radiator fan low speed circuit malfunction Do the radiator and A/C condenser fan low speed circuit troubleshooting (see 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 | Probable cause: Malfunction in the fan high speed circuit(s). Do the following troubleshooting as needed:
|
|
| Voice commands do not work | Probable cause: Communication problem between the climate control unit and the audio-navigation unit Do the navigation communication line circuit troubleshooting (see NAVIGATION COMMUNICATION LINE CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ) |
|
| 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 Troubleshoot the ECT sensor circuit:
|
|
| The A/C compressor clutch cycles rapidly on and off | Probable cause: A/C system is very low on refrigerant, indicating a possible leak
|
|
| The A/C compressor clutch does not disengage when the A/C switch is off | Probable cause: The A/C compressor clutch circuit is on (energized) continuously, shorted to ground, stuck A/C compressor clutch relay, or the A/C compressor clutch is mechanically jammed
|
The A/C compressor relief valve. If it has vented refrigerant to the atmosphere, correct the problem with the A/C compressor clutch or clutch circuit, then replace the relief valve (see A/C COMPRESSOR RELIEF VALVE REPLACEMENT ). |
| The A/C compressor relief valve has vented refrigerant
NOTE:
This indicates the A/C system pressure was very high
|
Probable cause: A high-side restriction, the A/C condenser/radiator fans are inoperative, or the A/C compressor clutch is not disengaging
|
Powertrain DTCs (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ) |
| HDS does not communicate with the climate control unit or the vehicle | Troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ) | |
| Insufficient heating |
