PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
- Verify customer complaints by operating system in all available modes. Carefully check the following for possible cause of problems and repair as necessary: damaged vacuum hoses, system components, damaged compressor drive belt, open fuses, damaged/misrouted wiring circuits, and damaged/disconnected connectors.
- Check for small leaks in vacuum circuit. Test vehicle with engine running and accelerate engine while checking airflow. During acceleration, all airflow will suddenly go to defrost outlets, indicating a small leak.
- While checking vacuum hoses, DO NOT pinch hoses to stop vacuum flow. Instead, plug hoses with wooden golf tee for testing. Vacuum hose material will not withstand pinching.
- If inspection reveals a problem, service as necessary and repeat preliminary inspection. If problem remains after preliminary inspection, connect New Generation Star (NGS) Tester (007-00500), or scan tool, to Data Link Connector (DLC), located beneath instrument panel. Perform DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS test.
- If NGS responds with NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED for EATC module, go to «TEST A»(ref-238-S29457187922000030800000) . If DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS test is passed for EATC module, retrieve stored DTCs and perform EATC self-diagnostics. See «ENTERING SELF-DIAGNOSTICS»(ref-238-S20210386722000030800000) under SELF-DIAGNOSTICS.
- If any DTCs are retrieved, go to «SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST CODE DIRECTORY»(ref-238-S39601799102000030800000) table to continue diagnostics. If EATC module cannot be accessed by NGS, go to «TEST A»(ref-238-S29457187922000030800000) .
SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
EATC module self-diagnostic test will detect problems in system control functions. It will display hard DTCs and intermittent DTCs during system operation.
Note. If EATC module cannot be accessed by NGS tester, go to TEST A . Or, if EATC module self-diagnostic test will not detect concerns associated with DLC messages, an NGS tester will have to be used to retrieve these messages.
ENTERING SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
- Ensure coolant temperature is at least 120°F (49°C) before entering self-diagnostics. Ensure in-car temperature is between 40-90°F (4-32°C). Simultaneously depress OFF and FLOOR buttons, then press AUTOMATIC button within 2 seconds. Display will show a dashed line in the center of the display window for up to 30 seconds while test is running. Record all DTCs as displayed.
- If DTCs are displayed, perform test indicated. See «SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST CODE DIRECTORY»(ref-238-S39601799102000030800000) table. If a condition exists but no DTCs are displayed, go to «SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS»(ref-238-S41016148362000030800000) .
- Self-diagnostics can be initiated at any time with the resulting DTCs being displayed. Normal system operation is stopped when system is in self-diagnostic mode.
