DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ACTUATOR CALIBRATION/DIAGNOSTICS AND
COOLDOWN TEST
GENERAL INFORMATION
If the HVAC control module is replaced, the Cali-
bration Diagnostic and Cooldown tests will need to
be performed. Once this group of tests have success-
fully passed, they can be performed individually. The
engine must be running during the test to provide
hot coolant for the heater, A/C compressor operation
and to assure that the actuators are calibrated cor-
rectly. The HVAC control module is capable of trou-
bleshooting the system in approximately 120 seconds.
If a condition is detected, an error code is displayed.
The error code cannot be erased until the condition is
repaired and the diagnostic test is performed. Check
wire before replacing components, refer to Group 8W,
Wiring Diagrams.CAUTION: Do not remove the actuators from the
Heater-A/C unit assembly with power applied.
Removal should only be done with the Ignition OFF.
The actuators have no mechanical stops to limit the
travel. If the actuator rotates and is not connected
to the unit assembly, it will become out of calibra-
tion.
ACTUATOR CALIBRATION
Mode, Blend and Zone (if equipped) door calibra-
tion compensates for mechanical variations in the
actuators, HVAC control module and its linkages. In-
vehicle calibration can be entered from the control's
front panel. If the REAR WIPE and INTERMIT-
TENT LED's flash simultaneously when Ignition is
cycled ON, the actuators have not been calibrated or
during the previous calibration a failure occurred
(Fig. 6) and (Fig. 7). Diagnostics will always occur
during Calibration Diagnostic and Cooldown test.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

DIAGNOSTICS
During the Actuator calibration, diagnostics are
performed on the actuators and evaporator tempera-
ture Fin Sensor. Once diagnostics are completed the
REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT LED's will flash
to indicate either a successful calibration or the
appropriate fail code(s). At this time manual testing
of the Blend, Mode and Driver (if equipped) potenti-
ometers can be performed. If a failure is detected
during Diagnostics a fault will be set in the control.
When Ignition is cycled OFF and then ON or Diag-
nostics is aborted, the REAR WIPER and INTER-
MITTENT LED's will flash simultaneously showing
that a failure has occurred. The control will not indi-
cate the fail code, but only that a failure had
occurred during the last diagnostics test. The only
way to clear the failure codes is repeat the Calibra-
tion Diagnostic and Cooldown test, after all repairs
are completed.
COOLDOWN TEST
This test has been designed for performance test-
ing of the A/C system at the manufacturing facility. If
the HVAC control module is replaced, the Cooldown
test will occur during Calibration test. Cooldown will
not occur on Heater Only units. During the Cooldown
test the control will monitor the temperature of the
Fin Sensor. The A/C system must be able to bring the
evaporator temperature down a predetermined mini-
mum amount in less than 2 minutes.

FAIL CODES/LEVEL DISPLAY
Fail Codes/Level are displayed using the REAR
WIPER and INTERMITTENT LED's flashing in the
sequence indicated below. The REAR WIPER LED
represents the Level and the INTERMITTENT LED
represents the Value. After Calibration/Diagnostics is
completed, the control will begin flashing Level 1
codes. Depressing the WASH button will cycle to
Level 2, depressing WASH again will cycle to Level 3.
Each time the WASH button is depressed will cycle
to the next level. After Level 5 is reached, you will
cycle back to Level 1. If the Control is a Heater Only
you will only cycle from Levels 1 to 3.
TEMPERATURE AND MODE POTENTIOMETER
DIAGNOSTICS
The Temperature and Mode Potentiometer can be
tested after calibration is complete by pressing the
WASH button and cycling to Levels 2, 3 or 5 as dis-
played by the REAR WIPER LED. On Heater Only
units you can only cycle to Levels 2 and 3. In eachindividual test the INTERMITTENT LED flash rate
will change as the Temperature or Mode potentiome-
ter is moved from one end to the other, see Potenti-
ometer vs. Position and Flash Rate table.
EVAPORATOR PROBE TEMPERATURE
DIAGNOSTICS
The evaporator probe can be tested by using the
INTERMITTENT LED to display the actual temper-
ature the sensor is reading. The HVAC control mod-
ule can only display temperatures from 1 to 99
degrees. To read the temperature, perform the follow-
ing:
²Set Blower motor to any speed other than OFF
²Set A/C to ON, if A/C Clutch does not engage
make sure Fail Codes 5 and 6 are cleared.To clear
the error code 5 and 6 the evaporator probe and/or
the wiring repair needs to be completed. Then, press
and hold the intermittent wipe button for 5 seconds.
²Run Diagnostics (Depress REAR WIPER and
REAR WASH)
²When Diagnostics is complete, Cycle to Level 4.
Display Sequence is as follows:
²REAR WIPER LED will display the Level
²INTERMITTENT LED will display ten's digit
²Short Pause
²INTERMITTENT LED will display the one's
digit.
The HVAC control module will continue to cycle
the Level and then Temperature until the level is
changed or Calibration Diagnostics and Cooldown
test is exited.

probe will drop the temperature 7ÉC (20ÉF) in two
minutes. If the Evaporator Probe is found to be
faulty, check that the sensor is positioned in the
evaporator fins properly. If not, correct and repeat
test. If OK, replace the evaporator probe.
Once the repairs are completed, repeat the Calibra-
tion Diagnostic and Cooldown test. Repeating the
test is necessary to clear the fault codes.
A/C PERFORMANCE TEST
The air conditioning system is designed to remove
heat and humidity from the air entering the passen-
ger compartment. The evaporator, located in the
heater A/C unit, is cooled to temperatures near the
freezing point. As warm damp air passes over the
fins in the evaporator, moisture in the air condenses
to water, dehumidifying the air. Condensation on the
evaporator fins reduces the evaporators ability to
absorb heat. During periods of high heat and humid-
ity, an air conditioning system will be less effective.
With the instrument control set to RECIRC, only air
from the passenger compartment passes through the
evaporator. As the passenger compartment air dehu-
midifies, A/C performance levels rise.
PERFORMANCE TEST PROCEDURE
Review Safety Precautions and Warnings in this
group before proceeding with this procedure. Air tem-
perature in test room and on vehicle must be 21É C
(70ÉF) minimum for this test.
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment
coupling to the line fitting, verify that the valve of
the coupling is fully closed. This will reduce the
amount of effort required to make the connection.
(1) Connect a tachometer and manifold gauge set.
(2) Set control to A/C, RECIRC, and PANEL, tem-
perature lever on full cool and blower on high.
(3) Start engine and hold at 1000 rpm with A/C
clutch engaged.(4) Engine should be warmed up with doors and
windows closed.
(5) Insert a thermometer in the left center A/C
outlet and operate the engine for five minutes. The
A/C clutch may cycle depending on ambient condi-
tions.
(6) With the A/C clutch engaged, compare the dis-
charge air temperature to the A/C Performance Tem-
peratures table.
(7) If the discharge air temperature fails to meet
the specifications in the performance temperature
chart. Refer to the Refrigerant Service Procedures for
further diagnosis.
A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
The work area temperature must not be below
10ÉC (50ÉF) to test the compressor clutch circuit.
Before starting to test the transducer ensure that the
wire connector is clean of corrosion and connected
properly.
(1) With gear selector in park or neutral and park
brake set, start engine and allow to idle.
(2) Install scan tool (DRB):
²Go to main menu
²Select stand alone scan tool (DRB)
²Select refer to the proper year diagnostics
²Select climate control
²Select sensor display
²Select A/C high side volts
For A/C system to operate a voltage between .451
(Low Pressure Cutout) to 4.519 (High Pressure Cut-
out is required. Voltages outside this range indicate a
low or high pressure condition andwill notallow
the compressor to cycle.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
If temperature cannot be adjusted with the TEMP
lever on the control panel, the following could require
service:
(1) Blend-air door binding.
(2) Faulty blend-air door motor.
(3) Improper engine coolant temperature.
(4) Faulty Instrument Panel Control.
SYSTEM CHARGE LEVEL TEST
The procedure below should be used to check
and/or fill the refrigerant charge in the air condition-
ing system.
NOTE: The amount of R134a refrigerant that the air
conditioning system holds is:
²Without rear A/C± .96 kg (34 oz. or 2.13 lbs.)
²With Rear A/C± 1.36 kg (48 oz. or 3.00 lbs.)
NOTE: Low Charge, condition may be described
as:
²Loss of A/C performance
²Fog from A/C outlets
²evaporator may have a HISS sound
There are two different ways the system can be
tested:
²With a scan tool (DRB), thermocouple and the
Charge Determination Graph. Use the scan tool
(DRB) diagnostic topic: Engine±System Monitors, A/C
Pressure.
²Using a manifold gauge set, a thermocouple and
the Charge Determination Graph.
It is recommended to use the gauges or reclaim/re-
cycle equipment.
WARNING: AVOID BREATHING A/C REFRIGERANT
AND LUBRICANT VAPOR OR MIST. EXPOSURE MAY
IRRITATE EYES, NOSE AND THROAT. USE ONLY
APPROVED SERVICE EQUIPMENT MEETING SAE
REQUIREMENTS TO DISCHARGE R-134a SYSTEM.
IF ACCIDENTAL SYSTEM DISCHARGE OCCURS,
VENTILATE WORK AREA BEFORE RESUMING SER-
VICE.
R-134a SERVICE EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLE A/C
SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE PRESSURE TESTED OR
LEAK TESTED WITH COMPRESSED AIR. SOME
MIXTURES OF AIR/R-134a HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO
BE COMBUSTIBLE AT ELEVATED PRESSURES.
THESE MIXTURES ARE POTENTIALLY DANGER-
OUS AND MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION
CAUSING INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
(1) Establish your preferred method of measuring
liquid line pressure. Use a manifold gauge set or a
DRB scan tool.(2) Attach a clamp-on thermocouple (P.S.E. 66-324-
0014 or 80PK-1A) or equivalent to the liquid line. It
must be placed as close to the A/C Pressure Trans-
ducer as possible to observe liquid line temperature.
Refer to ªThermocouple Probeº in this section for
more information on probe.
(3) The vehicle must be in the following modes:
²Transaxle in Park
²Engine Idling at 700 rpm
²A/C Controls Set to Outside Air
²Panel Mode
²Full Cool
²High Blower motor, (vehicle equipped with rear
A/C turn rear blower motor ON HIGH)
²A/C Button in the ON position
²Vehicle Windows Open.
²Recirc. button turned OFF
(4) Operate system for a couple of minutes to allow
the system to stabilize.
(5) Set system pressure to about 1793 kPa (260
psi) by placing a piece of cardboard over part of the
front side of the condenser. To place cardboard prop-
erly, remove the upper radiator-condenser cover.
Insert cardboard between condenser and radiator
front. This will maintain a constant pressure.
(6) Observe Liquid Line pressure and Liquid line
temperature. Using theCharge Determination
Chartdetermine where the system is currently oper-
ating. If the system is in the undercharged region,
ADD 0.057 Kg. (2 oz.) to the system and recheck
readings. If the system is in the overcharged region,
RECLAIM 0.057 Kg. (2 oz.) from the system and
recheck readings. Continue this process until the sys-
tem readings are in the proper charge area on the
Charge Determination Chart.
(7) The same procedure can be performed using
the scan tool (DRB). To determine liquid line pres-
sure, attach the scan tool, go to System Moni-
tors±A/C Pressure. Observe liquid line pressure from
A/C Pressure Transducer on digital display and digi-
tal thermometer. Refer toCharge Determination
Chartand determine where the system is operating.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
R-134a REFRIGERANT
This vehicle uses a new type of refrigerant called
R-134a. It is a non-toxic, non-flammable, clear color-
less liquefied gas.
R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12
refrigerant in an air conditioning system. Even a
small amount of R-12 in a R-134a system could cause
compressor failure, refrigerant oil to sludge and/or
poor performance.Never add any other type of
refrigerant to a system designed to use R-134a
refrigerant. System failure will occur.
24 - 16 HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONINGNS
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

capacity of the system and consequently result in
higher discharge air temperatures.
NOTE: The oil used in the Denso 2.5L Turbo Diesel
and the Denso 2.0L gasoline engine compressors is
ND-8 PAG R134a refrigerant oil. Only refrigerant oil
of the same type should be used to service the sys-
tem. Do not use any other oil. The oil container
should be kept tightly capped until it is ready for
use. Tightly cap afterwards to prevent contamina-
tion from dirt and moisture. Refrigerant oil will
quickly absorb any moisture it comes in contact
with. Special effort must be used to keep all R-134a
system components moisture-free. Moisture in the
oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a reli-
ability problem with the compressor.
It will not be necessary to check oil level in the
compressor or to add oil unless there has been an oil
loss. Oil loss at a leak point will be evident by the
presence of a wet, shiny surface around the leak.
REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL CHECK
When an air conditioning system is first assem-
bled, all components (except the compressor) are
refrigerant oil free. After the system has been
charged with R134a refrigerant and operated, the oil
in the compressor is dispersed through the lines and
components. The evaporator, condenser, and filter-
drier will retain a significant amount of oil, refer to
the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart. When a compo-
nent is replaced, the specified amount of refrigerant
oil must be added. When the compressor is replaced,
the amount of oil that is retained in the rest of the
system must be drained from the replacement com-
pressor. When a line or component has ruptured and
oil has escaped, the compressor should be removed
and drained. The compressor is drained through the
suction port or by removing the sump bolt on top of
the compressor, refer to Compressor Removal and
Installation procedures. The filter-drier must be
replaced along with the ruptured part. The oil capac-
ity of the system, minus the amount of oil still in the
remaining components, can be measured and poured
into the suction port of the compressor.
Example: The evaporator retains 50 ml (1.7 oz.).
The condenser retains 30 ml (1 oz) of oil, and system
capacity may be 220 ml (7.40 oz) of oil.
220 ml minus 90 ml = 130 ml (4.40 oz.).
CAUTION: The refrigerant oil used in a R-134a A/C
system is unique. Use only oils which were designed
to work with R-134a refrigerant. The oil designated
for the Denso 2.5L Turbo Diesel and Denso 2.0L gas-
oline engine compressors is ND-8 PAG compressor
oil. For gasoline vehicles still using R-12 refrigerant,
use ND8 PAG compressor oil.
SERVICING REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL
(1) Using a refrigerant recovery machine, remove
refrigerant from the A/C system.
(2) Remove refrigerant lines from A/C compressor.
(3) Remove compressor from vehicle.
(4) From suction port on top of compressor, drain
refrigerant oil from compressor.
(5) Add system capacity minus the capacity of
components that have not been replaced through suc-
tion port on compressor. Refer to the Refrigerant Oil
Capacity Chart.
(6) Install compressor, connect refrigerant lines,
evacuate, and charge refrigerant system.

move towards the Cold position. When Pin 13 is High
and Pin 15 is Low the door will move towards the
Heat position. When both Pins are high or when both
Pins are low, the actuator will not move. The Driver
feedback signal is a voltage signal that is supplied by
the actuator to the control. The signal will be about
4.0 volts in the Heat position and 1.0 volt in the Cold
position. As the position of the Driver Actuator
changes, so will the feedback signal. The feedback
signal is necessary for the correct positioning of the
temperature door.
MODE ACTUATOR BACKGROUND
The Mode actuator can move the mode door in two
directions. When the voltage at Pin 18 of the control
module is high, about 11.5 volts, and the voltage at
Pin 12 is low, about 1.5 volts the door will move
towards the Panel position. When Pin 12 is High and
Pin 18 is Low the door will move towards the Defrost
position. When both Pin are high or when both Pins
are low, the actuator will not move. The Mode door
feedback signal is a voltage signal that is supplied by
the actuator to the control. The signal will be about
4.5 volts in the Panel position and 0.5 volts in the
Defrost position. As the position of the Mode actuator
changes, so will the feedback signal. The feedback
signal is necessary for the correct positioning of the
mode door.
FAIL CODES/LEVEL DISPLAY
Fail Codes/Level are displayed using the REAR
