Blower Motor Electrical Troubleshooting
To determine if an open condition exists within the blower motor circuit wiring, it is necessary to disconnect the neg-
ative battery cable and check for continuity within the blower motor circuits using an ohmmeter.
Possible causes of an inoperative blower motor include the following:
•Open fuse
• Inoperative blower motor switch
• Inoperative blower motor resistor
• Inoperative blower motor
• Inoperative blower motor circuit wiring or wiring harness electrical connectors
Blower Motor Noise
To determine if the blower motor is the source of the noise, simply switch the blower motor from Off to On. To verify
that the blower motor is the source of the noise, unplug the blower motor wire harness connector and operate the
heater-A/C system. If the noise goes away, possible causes include:
•Foreign material on fresh air inlet screen
• Foreign material in blower wheel
• Foreign material in HVAC housing
• Incorrect blower motor mounting
• Deformed or damaged blower wheel
• Worn blower motor bearings or brushes

Temperature Control
If the heater outlet air temperature cannot be adjusted with the temperature control knob(s) on the A/C heater control
panel, the following could require service:
•The A/C heater control.
• The blend door actuator(s).
• The wire harness circuits for the A/C heater control or the blend door actuator(s).
• The blend door(s).
• Improper engine coolant temperature.
A/C Compressor Noise Testing
When investigating an A/C system related noise, you must first know the conditions under which the noise occurs.
These conditions include: weather, vehicle speed, transaxle in gear or neutral, engine speed, engine temperature,
and any other special conditions. Noises that develop during A/C operation can often be misleading. For example:
what sounds like a failed bearing, may be caused by loose bolts, nuts, mounting brackets or a loose compressor
assembly.
NOTE :
The A/C compressor must be replaced if any unusual noise is heard from the compressor itself.
NOTE :
Drive belts are speed sensitive. At different engine speeds and depending upon drive belt tension, drive belts can
develop noises that are mistaken for an A/C compressor noise. Improper drive belt tension can cause a misleading
noise when the compressor is operating at maximum displacement, which may not occur when the compressor is at
minimum displacement.
1. Select a quiet area for testing.
2. Duplicate the complaint conditions as much as possible.
3. Turn the A/C system On and Off several times to clearly identify any compressor noise.
4. Listen to the A/C compressor while it is operating at maximum and minimum displacement.
5. Probe the A/C compressor with an engine stethoscope or a long screwdriver with the handle held to your ear to better localize the source of the noise.
6. To duplicate high-ambient temperature conditions (high head pressure), restrict the air flow through the A/C con- denser. Install a manifold gauge set or a scan tool to ensure that the discharge pressure does not exceed 2600
kPa.
7. Check the condition of the accessory drive belt. NOTE: The A/C compressor must be replaced if the drive hub is broken or if the compressor shaft does not
rotate smoothly.
8. Check the compressor hub and pulley and bearing assembly. Ensure that the hub and pulley are properly aligned and that the pulley bearing is mounted securely to the A/C compressor.
9. Check the refrigerant system plumbing for incorrect routing, rubbing or interference, which can cause unusual noises. Also check the refrigerant lines and hoses for kinks or sharp bends that will restrict refrigerant flow, which
can cause noises.
10. Loosen all of the compressor mounting hardware and retighten. CAUTION: Do not run the engine with a vacuum pump in operation or with a vacuum present within the
A/C system. Failure to follow this caution will result in serious A/C compressor damage.
11. If the noise is from opening and closing the high pressure relief valve, recover, evacuate and recharge the refrig- erant system. If the high pressure relief valve still does not seat properly, replace the A/C compressor.

13. If a slugging condition still exists after replacing the A/C accumulator, replace the A/C compressor.
Refrigerant System Leaks
WARNING!
R-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C systems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed
air. Mixture of air and R-134a can be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures are potentially danger-
ous and may result in fire or explosion causing property damage, personal injury or death. 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 an R-134a system. If accidental system discharge occurs,
ventilate work area before resuming service.
NOTE :
If the A/C refrigerant system charge is empty or low, a leak in the A/C system is likely. Inspect all A/C lines, fittings
and components for an oily residue. Oil residue can be an indicator of an A/C system leak location.
NOTE :
The only way to correctly determine if the refrigerant system is fully charged with R-134a is to completely evacuate
and recharge the A/C system.
Refrigerant System Empty
1. Evacuate the refrigerant system to the lowest degree of vacuum possible. Determine if the system holds a vac- uum for 15 minutes. If vacuum is held, a leak is probably not present. If system will not maintain vacuum level,
proceed to STEP 2.
2. Prepare and dispense 0.3 kilograms of R-134a refrigerant into the evacuated refrigerant system and proceed to STEP 1 of the System Low procedure.
Refrigerant System Low
1. Position the vehicle in a wind-free work area. This will aid in detecting small leaks.
2. Operate the heating-A/C system with the engine at idle under the following conditions for at least 5 minutes:Doors or windows open, transaxle in Park or Neutral with the parking brake set (depending on application), A/C-
Heater controls set to outside air, full cool, panel mode, high blower and with A/C compressor engaged.
3. Shut the vehicle Off and wait2-7minutes. Then use an electronic leak detector that is designed to detect R-134a refrigerant and search for leaks. Fittings, lines or components that appear to be oily usually indicate a
refrigerant leak. To inspect the A/C evaporator for leaks, insert the leak detector probe into the drain tube open-
ing or an air outlet. A dye for R-134a is available to aid in leak detection. Use only approved refrigerant dye.
CAUTION:
A leak detector only designed for R-12 refrigerant will not detect leaks in an R-134a refrigerant sys-
tem.

Diagnostic Help
1. The X-431 scan tool connects to the Data Link Connector (DLC) and communicates with the vehicle electronicmodules through the data network.
2. Confirm that the malfunction is current and carry-out the diagnostic tests and repair procedures.
3. If the DTC cannot be deleted, it is a current fault.
4. Use a digital multimeter to perform voltage readings on electronic systems.
5. Refer to any Technical Bulletins that may apply to the failure.
6. Visually inspect the related wiring harness.
7. Inspect and clean all Restraints Control Module (RCM) grounds that are related to DTC.
8. If numerous trouble codes were set, use a wiring schematic and look for any common ground circuits or voltage supply circuits that may apply to the DTC.
Intermittent DTC Troubleshooting
If the failure is intermittent perform the following:
•Check for loose connectors.
• Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
• Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit.
• Wiggle the related wiring harness and connectors while looking for an interrupted signal on the affected circuit.
• If possible, try to duplicate the conditions under which the DTC set.
• Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
• Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
• Inspect the sensor and mounting area for any condition that would result in an incorrect signal, such as dam-
age, foreign material.
• A data recorder, and/or oscilloscope should be used to help diagnose intermittent conditions.
• Remove the Restraints Control Module (RCM) from the troubled vehicle and install in a new vehicle and test. If
the DTC cannot be deleted, the RCM is malfunctioning. If the DTC can be deleted, return the RCM to the origi-
nal vehicle.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits. Ground connec-
tions are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted
resistance. This added resistance can alter the way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground can drastically
affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can affect the circuit. Perform the following when
inspecting a ground connection:
1. Remove the ground bolt or screw.
2. Inspect all mating surface for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
3. Clean as required to assure good contact.
4. Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
5. Inspect for add-onaccessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
6. If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are crimped to one eyelet, make
sure no excess wire insulation has been crimped creating a bad ground.
Diagnostic Tools
Diagnostic Scan Tool X-431
Read the following when connecting the X-431 scan tool:
•Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC) for communication with the vehicle.
• The DLC is located on the driver side compartment under the steering column (it is attached to the instrument
panel and accessible from the driver seat).
• The DLC is rectangular in design and capable of accommodating up to 16 terminals.
• The electrical connector has keying features to allow easy connection.

• If the DTC is detected, the DTC condition is current. Go to Diagnostic Procedure - Step 1.
• If the DTC is not detected, the DTC condition is intermittent (See Diagnostic Help and Intermittent DTC Trou-
bleshooting in Section 14 Restraints for more information).
Diagnostic Guide Lines
Observe the following guide lines while diagnosing this DTC:
•Troubleshoot any Engine Control Module (ECM) charging/cranking DTCs before proceeding.
• If the warning lamp goes out immediately after the warning lamp flashed for6-7seconds, this indicates that
the system is OK.
• If the warning lamp is on for6-7seconds continuously, then goes out, or the warning lamp is on continuously,
this indicates that there are history DTCs in the system. Use the Scan Tool to erase the DTCs.
• If any other condition occurs, use the Scan Tool to erase the history DTCs first, then check the warning lamp.
If the warning lamp does not go out immediately after the warning lamp flashes for6-7seconds when using
the Scan Tool, erase the history DTCs first.
• In the course of troubleshooting the airbag system, make sure the system power supply is shut off, and wait
two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge.
• The squib circuit connectors integrate a shortingspring (which prevents the airbag from deploying unintention-
ally due to static electricity by shorting the positive wire to the negative wire in the squib circuit when the con-
nectors are disconnected). Therefore, if the airbag electrical connector or spiral cable electrical connector is
damaged or improperly connected, the shorting spring may not be released when the electrical connector is
connected.
• The following tools are required to perform the DTC diagnostic procedure:
X-431 Scan Tool
Airbag Special Load Tool
Digital Multimeter
NOTE :
While performing electrical diagnosis & testing, always refer to the electrical schematics for specific circuit
and component information.
