THEORY OF OPERATION
The HVAC A/C Heater Control contains various switches and knobs that are used to change the systems operation. Many of the switches are momentary switches which are normally open or in the Off position and the status changes when the switch button or knob is pushed or turned. An active Diagnostic trouble Code (DTC) indicates that the switch is stuck in an On position. A stored DTC indicates that the switch was stuck in a On position for more than 20 seconds but has since returned to its normal state of Off. For further information. Refer to OPERATION .

The HVAC A/C heater control uses a variety of sensors to adjust HVAC operation to obtain optimal performance. These sensors are continuously monitored by the A/C heater control to assure that they are in range. An active Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) indicates that a sensor is out of range. A stored DTC indicates that the sensor was out of range but is currently within range.
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the surface temperature of the A/C evaporator and supplies an input signal to the A/C heater control. The input signal value is used to optimize the A/C system performance and to protect the A/C evaporator from freezing. The evaporator temperature sensor resistance value will change in response to the surface temperature of A/C evaporator. The resistance value is electronically transferred to the A/C heater control using a sensor ground circuit and a 5-volt reference signal circuit. Normal operation of the sensor the resistive value decreases when the A/C evaporator temperature decreases and the sensor resistive value increases when A/C evaporator temperature increases.

After the initial installation of the A/C Heater Control, the controller is calibrated to each individual blend/mode door actuator. These calibrations are stored as in the number of pulses it takes to move the door from one stop to another. The A/C Heater Control drives the Door Actuators by the use of Door Driver circuit and a Common Door Driver circuit and monitors all door actuator pulses to detect door movement in both directions. Most of the door actuators share a common door driver circuit but each door actuator has its own unique driver circuit. Due to shared circuitry, similar Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can set at the same time for multiple actuators depending upon the type of circuit malfunction, its location, and the direction the actuator is moving when the malfunction is present.

The In-Car Temperature Sensor uses a temperature thermistor which changes in its resistive value with differences in air temperature of the interior cabin. Air is drawn from the passenger compartment by an aspirator (small fan driven by a 12-volt electric motor) which circulates air over the temperature thermistor. The A/C Heater Control receives the resistance value over a two wire circuit that is used to calculate the temperature and make any adjustments to maintain the optimum passenger compartment comfort. The In-Car Temperature Sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.
The A/C Heater Controller has software to enable it to perform an A/C Cool Down Test by a command using a scan tool. This test checks for evaporator temperature drop over a predetermined time. If the test fails, this DTC will set. However, certain test conditions are required to perform this test. Failure to run this test within those parameters can result in failure of the test.
