B1079–CLIMATE CONTROL COOL DOWN TEST EXCESSIVE TIME (SINGLE-ZONE)
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
Theory of Operation
The Cooldown Test checks A/C system performance based on Evaporator Temperature Sensor input. The main cri-
teria is to lower evaporator temperature 11.11°C (20°F) within one minute. Before starting the test, the evaporator
temperature must be above 13°C (55°F) and the front blower speed must be setto high speed. When the test is
running, A/C Select and A/C Request will be on and the A/C status indicator will flash. When the test is complete,
the scan tool will display one or more test status messages to indicate the outcome of the Cooldown Test. A Suc-
cessful Cooldown – Test Passed status message indicates that the main testcriteria was met. A DTC Set During
Routine – Test Not Passed status message indicates that the A/C system is unable to lower the evaporator tem-
perature 11.11°C (20°F) within one minute. A Conditions Too Cold – Test NotRun status message indicates that the
evaporator temperature was below 13°C (55°F) when starting the Cooldown Test. A Blowers Not On High – Test Not
Run status message indicates that either the front blower speed was not setto high speed prior to starting the
Cooldown Test or the front blower speed was changed from high speed to another setting after starting the
Cooldown test. A Refrigerant Temperature Sensor Error status message indicates that a fault occurred with the
Evaporator Temperature Sensor/sensor circuits. A No Results Stored/Test Not Complete status message indicates
that the power was cycled while the test was running.
When Monitored:
When the Cooldown Test is executed.
Set Condition:
If the A/C system is unable to lower the evaporator temperature 11.11°C (20°F) within one minute.

*HVAC SYSTEM TEST
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
Theory of Operation
The HVAC System Test provides a starting point in the diagnostic process byidentifying the appropriate diagnostic
procedure or system test to perform when diagnosing a given symptom, condition, or DTC. It also provides a means
for testing the entire HVAC system byutilizing the A/C-heater control’s On-Board System Tests. The On-Board Sys-
tem Tests can also assist in diagnosing stored DTCs. (Refer to 24 - HEATING &AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING) for additional information about on-board diagnostics.
Diagnostic Test
1.HVAC SYSTEM TEST
NOTE: Diagnose and repair all active DTCs before diagnosing and repairingstored DTCs.
Make a selection based on the symptom, condition, or DTC that you want to diagnose.
For Any Active DTC
Refer to the Table of Contents in this Section for a complete list of HVAC related symptoms.
Scan Tool Indicates HVAC Not Active On Bus
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING) for no
response related diagnostic procedures.

2.A/C SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TEST
NOTE: The following are prerequisites of the Cooldown Test. Verify each ofthe following before running the
test:
If active, diagnose and repair Evaporator Temperature Sensor related DTCs before proceeding. Refer to
the Table of Contents in this Section for a complete list of HVAC related symptoms.
Verify that the refrigerant system has an adequate charge. Check and repair as necessary before pro-
ceeding. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - DIAGNOSIS ANDTESTING).
Verify that the blower motor operates correctly in all speeds. Diagnose and repair all blower related faults
before proceeding.
Verify that the work area ambient temperature is above 15.6°C (60°F) before proceeding. Move the vehicle
to a warmer work area if necessary.
Verify that the evaporator temperature is above 13°C (55°F) before proceeding.
Verify that the Mode Select control is set to the panel position.
Verify that the A/C compressor is not running. If the compressor is running, turn the A/C off and allow the
evaporator to warm up before proceeding.
NOTE: Running the AC Cooldown test will cause the A/C status indicator to flash.
NOTE: One or more status messages will display on the scan tool after running the Cooldown Test. These
messages will clear after paging back out of this test function. Therefore, it is important to note all mes-
sages before doing so.
Start the engine.
Turn the Blower control to the high speed position.
