Dual Automatic Temperature Control Module Self-Test

The DATC module self-test will not detect concerns associated with data link messages like engine coolant temperature or vehicle speed signals. A scan tool must be used to retrieve these concerns.
The DATC module self-test will detect concerns in the system control functions and will display hard diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Hard DTC's identify faults which are present during the self- test. The vehicle interior/ambient temperature should be between 4-32°C (40-90°F) when carrying out the self-test. If the temperatures are not within the specified ranges, false temperature sensor DTCs will be displayed.
The self-test can be initiated at any time. Normal operation of the system stops when the self-test is activated.
To enter the self-test, press the OFF and FLOOR buttons simultaneously and then press the RECIRC button within two seconds. The display will show a pulse tracer going around the center of the display window. The test may run as long as 30 seconds. Record all DTCs displayed.
If any DTCs appear during the self-test, follow the diagnostics procedure given under ACTION for each DTC given.
If a condition exists but no DTCs appear during the self-test, refer to PINPOINT TEST I: THE DATC SYSTEM IS INOPERATIVE, INTERMITTENT OR INCORRECT OPERATION .
To exit the self-test and clear all DTCs, press the FRONT DEFROST button. The DATC control assembly will then turn OFF (display blank) and all DTCs will be cleared.
Always exit the self-test before powering the system down (system turned OFF).
