IN-VEHICLE CALIBRATION

Note. Whenever HVAC (Heater Vent & Air Conditioner) control module, HVAC unit, doors or door actuators are replaced, actuator calibration/diagnostics test must be performed.

  1. If REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT button LEDs flash simultaneously when ignition is turned on, actuators have not been calibrated or a previous calibration failure occurred. Diagnostics will always occur during calibration. Mode and blend door calibration compensates for mechanical differences in actuators, heater unit and its linkages. In-vehicle calibration and cool-down test is entered using switches and buttons on HVAC front panel.
  2. To enter calibration/diagnostics test, set parking brake. Start and warm engine to normal operating temperature. With engine idling, turn blower switch to high. Turn mode switch to panel. Open all A/C outlets. Move temperature lever to full cold.
  3. Press and hold REAR WASH and REAR WIPER buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds (until all LEDs illuminate). All LEDs should illuminate for 5 seconds. REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT button LEDs will flash alternately during calibration test. A/C and RECIRC button LEDs will alternately flash during cool-down test.
  4. After approximately 60 seconds, if only REAR WIPER button LED is flashing, calibration is successful and system is okay. If REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT button LEDs are flashing, see «DIAGNOSTICS»(ref-39555-S13678340162001011200000) under TROUBLE SHOOTING for diagnostic procedures.
  5. To exit calibration/diagnostics test at any time, press REAR WIPER button or cycle ignition off and then on. Test will automatically terminate 15 minutes after calibration/diagnostics is entered.
