Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

When the engine is at operating temperature hot coolant primarily flows from the engine through the heater core and back to the engine. Correct coolant temperatures are critical for good heater performance. A restriction of coolant flow due to a transmission fluid heater coolant control valve (if equipped), or a cabin heater coolant pump (if equipped), may cause poor coolant flow to the heater core.

Possible Sources

• Low engine coolant level
• (If equipped) transmission fluid heater coolant control valve
• (If equipped) cabin heater coolant diverter valve (PHEV)
• Heater core
• Temperature door binding or stuck
• Temperature door actuator

Visual Inspection and Pre-checks

• Inspect for low engine coolant level.

• Ignition OFF.

• Check the engine coolant level.

• Pressure test the cooling system for leaks. Refer to the appropriate section in Group 303 for the procedure.

• Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.

• On the HVAC controls, select the FLOOR position, then set the temperature control to full warm and the blower to the lowest setting.

• Using a suitable temperature measuring device, check the temperature of the heater core inlet hose.

• Using a suitable temperature measuring device, measure the temperature of the heater core outlet hose.

• INSTALL a temporary bypass hose from the heater core outlet to the thermostat housing assembly (as applicable).

• Using a suitable temperature measuring device, measure the heater core inlet and outlet hose temperatures.

The air discharge sensors supply a varying voltage to the HVAC control module based on the temperature of the air being discharged from the vent. The HVAC control module adjusts the system based on the voltage from each sensor.

Each air discharge sensor is supplied voltage from the HVAC control module and all sensors share a common sensor ground. An open, a short to ground, a short to voltage on one or more of these circuits or a failed air discharge sensor causes the HVAC control module to set one or more Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The PCM controls the A/C compressor clutch field coil based on messages received from the BCM over the HS-CAN . When the HVAC control module determines it is necessary to activate the A/C compressor, either due to driver request or due to automatic climate control settings, the HVAC control module sends a message to the BCM over the MS-CAN , the BCM then sends a message to the PCM to activate the A/C compressor. REFER to: Climate Control System - Vehicles With: Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) - System Operation and Component Description (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Description and Operation).

An internal failure of the PCM , BCM or HVAC control module; or a failure in the MS-CAN or HS-CAN causes the PCM to set a DTC .

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The ACCM is an integral part of the A/C electric compressor and cannot be removed from or serviced separately. The ACCM has both low voltage and high voltage electrical connections. The ACCM requires a low voltage system operating voltage between 9 and 16 volts. The ACCM also requires high voltage system operating voltage between 100 and 467 volts. The ACCM has a single ground circuit located in the engine compartment wiring harness. Excessive resistance or an open in one or more of these circuits, a discharged battery or an inoperative charging system results in the ACCM setting a DTC . REFER to: Climate Control System - Vehicles With: Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) - System Operation and Component Description (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Description and Operation).

• Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the DCDC self-test.

• Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the BECM self-test.

  WARNING: To prevent the risk of high-voltage shock, always follow precisely all warnings and service instructions, including instructions to depower the system. The high-voltage system utilizes approximately 300 volts DC, provided through high-voltage cables to its components and modules. The high-voltage cables and wiring are identified by orange harness tape or orange wire covering. All high-voltage components are marked with high-voltage warning labels with a high-voltage symbol. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.

NOTE: Before carrying out this pinpoint test, ensure the high voltage battery is at least 50 % charged. For charging information, refer to the appropriate workshop manual section 414-03.

NOTE: Before testing of the Air Conditioning Control Module (ACCM) with a diagnostic scan tool can be performed on Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), the vehicle must be in Ready to Drive mode. Switch the ignition on with transmission selector lever in position P. Look for the green ready indicator light to appear in the lower right portion of the instrument cluster and a ready to drive message to appear in the middle of the left cluster screen.
