Go to Step 24

Go to Step 10

1. Start the engine.
2. Fully open all panel outlets.
3. Place the temperature switch in the 24°C (75°F) position.
4. Place the mode switch in the panel position.
5. Set the blower speed to illuminate 2 bars on the fan speed indicator.
6. Place the right air temperature switch on the HVAC control module in the OFF position.
7. Inspect for airflow through the inside air temperature sensor by placing a 5 cm (2 in) square piece of paper over the sensor air inlet.

Does the paper stay in place?

Go to Step 11

Go to Step 15

1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Install a scan tool.
3. Cover the sunload sensor assembly.
4. Start the engine.
5. Place the temperature switch in the 24°C (75°F) position.
6. Place the right air temperature switch on the HVAC control module in the OFF position.
7. With a scan tool, observe the Right and Left Solar Sensor data parameters in the Instrument Panel Module Open/Short data list.

Does the scan tool indicate that the Right and Left Solar Sensor data parameters are more than the specified value?

224 Counts

Go to Step 12

Go to Step 19

1. Uncover the sunload sensor assembly.
2. Direct a light source at the right and then the left side of the sunload sensor assembly.

Do the counts change similarly and correspond to the proper side of the sunload sensor assembly?

--

Go to Step 13

Go to Step 19

1. Install a thermometer near the following air temperature sensors:

•

Inside

•	Upper right

•	Upper left

•	Lower right

•	Lower left

2. With a scan tool, observe the following data parameters in the Instrument Panel Module HVAC Sensor data list.

•	Inside Air Temp

•	Right AC Duct Temp

•	Left AC Duct Temp

•	Right Htr. Duct Temp

•	Left Htr Duct Temp

Does the scan tool indicate sensor temperatures near the thermometer temperatures within the specified range?

+3 to -3°C

(+5 to -5°F)

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 16

Does the customer need to change the set temperature frequently to maintain comfort?

--

Go to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Does Not Maintain Set Temperature

Go to Step 18

Inspect for a blocked or disconnected aspiration hose.

Did you find and correct the condition?

--

Go to Step 24

--

Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the suspect temperature sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

--

Go to Step 24

Go to Step 17

Test the suspect temperature sensor resistance. Refer to Sensor Resistance Table .

Does the resistance measure near the Sensor Resistance Table value?

--

Go to Step 20

Go to Step 21
