3.9.2.11 HVAC DIAGNOSTICS
The A/C ± Heater Control Module is fully addres-
sable with the DRBIIIt. Two of the Control Mod-
ule's diagnostic capabilities that the DRBIIItwill
actuate include the A/C Cooldown Test to test A/C
system performance and the HVAC Door Recalibra-
tion Test to determine actuator travel span. After
performing either test, the Control Module will
display one or more messages on the DRBIIIt
screen. The message will indicate either that the
HVAC system passed the test or that there is a fault
currently active in the HVAC system. The DRBIIIt
can also extract active and stored Diagnostic Trou-
ble Codes (DTCs) from the control module. Active
DTCs are faults that currently exit in the HVAC
system. Active DTCs cannot be erased until the
condition causing the code is repaired. Stored DTCs
are faults that occurred in the HVAC system since
the control module received the last ªclear diagnos-
tic infoº message.
3.10 CABIN HEATER
NOTE: The Cabin Heater, also known as the
Diesel Cabin Heater Assist (DCHA), will be
referred to as the DCHA throughout most of
the General Information and the Diagnostic
Procedures in this manual.
3.10.1 GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DCHA IN
AN ENCLOSED AREA SUCH AS A GARAGE
THAT DOES NOT HAVE EXHAUST
VENTILATION FACILITIES. ALWAYS VENT
THE DCHA's EXHAUST WHEN OPERATING
THE DCHA. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING: ALLOW THE DCHA ASSEMBLY
TO COOL BEFORE PERFORMING A COM-
PONENT INSPECTION/REPAIR/REPLACE-
MENT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE
VEHICLE'S BATTERY PRIOR TO PER-
FORMING ANY TYPE OF WORK ON THE
DCHA. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE
DCHA HEATER MODULE OR ANY OF ITS
INTERNAL COMPONENTS. ALWAYS PER-
FORM DCHA COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SERVICE
INFORMATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION: Do not actuate the DCHA Field
Mode Test with the engine off. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in
internal damage to the DCHA Heater Module.
CAUTION: Always Perform The Cabin Heater
Pre-Test Prior To Performing Any Other Cabin
Heater Test For The Test Result To Be Valid.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the vehicle's
battery or the DCHA's main power-supply
while the DCHA is in operation or in
run-down mode. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in excess emissions
from the DCHA Heater Module.
NOTE: Failure to prime the Dosing Pump
after draining the DCHA fuel line will prevent
DCHA heater activation during the first
attempt to start the heater. This will also set a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in the DCHA
Control's memory. Do not perform the Dosing
Pump Priming Procedure if an attempt was
made to start the DCHA without priming the
Dosing Pump first. This will put excess fuel
in the DCHA Heater Module and cause smoke
to emit from the DCHA exhaust pipe when
heater activation occurs.
NOTE: Waxed fuel can obstruct the fuel line
and reduce flow. Check for the appropriate
winter grade fuel and replace as necessary.
3.10.2 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION AND
OPERATION
3.10.2.1 DCHA ASSEMBLY
The DCHA is a supplemental heater designed to
pre-heat the engine's coolant in order to supply the
vehicle's occupants with heat prior to the engine
reaching operating temperature. The DCHA assem-
bly mounts underneath the vehicle on the left side
floor pan near the front door opening. The DCHA
assembly connects to the vehicle's heater hoses and
has a fuel supply line that connects to the vehicle's
fuel tank.
19
GENERAL INFORMATION

The DCHA assembly consists of a:
²combustion air fan assembly
²burner housing
²burner insert
²control unit/heat exchanger
²combustion chamber
²dosing pump
3.10.2.2 COMBUSTION AIR FAN
The combustion air fan assembly includes the:
²combustion air fan
²combustion air fan inlet
²fuel supply inlet
The combustion air fan delivers the air required
for combustion from the combustion air inlet to the
burner insert.
3.10.2.3 BURNER HOUSING
The burner housing includes the:
²coolant inlet
²coolant outlet
²exhaust outlet
The burner housing accommodates the burner
insert and is combined with the control unit/heat
exchanger as an assembly.
3.10.2.4 BURNER INSERT
The burner insert includes the:
²combustion pipe fuel cross section
²glow plug/flame sensor
Inside the burner insert fuel is distributed across
the combustion pipe fuel cross section. Combustion
of the fuel/air mixture takes place within the com-
bustion pipe to heat the exchanger. The glow plug/
flame sensor located in the burner insert ignites the
fuel/air mixture during heater start up. After heater
start up, the glow plug/flame sensor operates in the
flame sensor function. The glow plug/flame sensor
designed as an electrical resistor is located in the
burner insert opposite the flame side.
3.10.2.5 CONTROL UNIT/HEAT
EXCHANGER
The control unit/heat exchanger includes the:
²control unit
²temperature sensor
²overheat protection
²heat exchanger
²connector terminal
The control unit controls and monitors combus-
tion operation. The control unit is ventilated bymeans of a ventilation hose routed from the com-
bustion air collector compartment of the burner.
The heat exchanger transfers the heat generated by
combustion to the coolant circuit. The control unit/
heat exchanger and the burner housing are an
assembly and must not be disassembled.
The temperature sensor senses the coolant tem-
perature in the heat exchanger as an electrical
resistance. This signal is sent to the control unit for
processing.
The overheat protection, controlled by the tem-
perature resistor, protects the heater against undue
operating temperatures. The overheat protection
will switch the heater off if the water temperature
exceeds 105ÉC (221ÉF).
3.10.2.6 DOSING PUMP
The dosing pump is a combined delivery, dosing,
and shut-off system for the fuel supply of the heater.
The dosing pump receives its supply of fuel from the
vehicle's fuel tank.
3.10.3 OPERATION
3.10.3.1 ACTIVATION
When the ignition is in Run, the FCM monitors
the PCI bus for the Cabin Heater Activation re-
quest. The A/C ± Heater Control Module initiates
this request only when all conditions for Cabin
Heater activation are favorable (see below). The
request carries the status bit that the FCM requires
to activate its Cabin Heater Assist Control Output.
This output is a low side driver (coming from FCM
pin 15) which supplies a ground signal to the Cabin
Heater (pin 5). When the Cabin Heater receives this
ground signal input, it interprets this as an activa-
tion signal. The FCM low side driver is also capable
of diagnostic sensing. The driver will sense an open
circuit when the driver is off, and will sense a short
to voltage when the driver is on. The FCM will set
DTCs for both of these types of faults.
The DCHA will activate only when the:
²engine is running.
²coolant temperature is below 66ÉC (151ÉF).
²fuel tank has greater than 1/8 of a tank of fuel.
²Power switch on the A/C ± Heater Control Module
is on.
²Blend Control on the A/C ± Heater Control Mod-
ule is set above 95% reheat.
²Front Control Module (FCM) sees the Cabin
Heater Activation request that is bussed from the
A/C ± Heater Control Module.
When the DCHA starting sequence begins, the
glow plug and the combustion air fan are activated.
After 30 seconds, the fuel dosing pump begins oper-
