Theory Of Operation

The switch input changes when the switch is pushed down. A stored DTC indicates that the A/C request switch was stuck in a pushed position for more than 10 minutes, but has since returned to its normal state. An active DTC indicates that the A/C request switch is stuck in a pushed position. When active, this DTC will prevent proper A/C request switch and status indicator function.

The switch input changes when the switch is pushed down. A stored DTC indicates that the panel mode switch was stuck in a pushed position for more than 10 minutes, but has since returned to its normal state. An active DTC indicates that the panel mode switch is stuck in a pushed position. An active DTC will prevent proper A/C mode switch and status indicator function.

The Bi-Level mode switch input changes when the switch is pushed down. An active DTC indicates that the switch is stuck in a pushed position. A stored DTC indicates that the switch was stuck in a pushed position for more than two minutes, but has since returned to its normal state.

The switch input changes when the switch is pushed down. A stored DTC indicates that the recirculation switch was stuck in a pushed position for more than 10 minutes, but has since returned to its normal state. An active DTC indicates that the recirculation switch is stuck in a pushed position.

The Floor mode switch input changes when the switch is pushed down. An active DTC indicates that the switch is stuck in a pushed position. A stored DTC indicates that the switch was stuck in a pushed position for more than two minutes, but has since returned to its normal state.

The mix switch input changes when the switch is pushed down. An active DTC indicates that the switch is stuck in a pushed position. A stored DTC indicates that the switch was stuck in a pushed position for more than two minutes, but has since returned to its normal state.

The switch input changes when the switch is pushed down. A stored DTC indicates that the defrost switch was stuck in a pushed position for more than 10 minutes, but has since returned to its normal state. An active DTC indicates that the defrost switch is stuck in a pushed position.

The switch input changes when the switch is pushed down. A stored DTC indicates that the rear defrost switch was stuck in a pushed position for more than 10 minutes, but has since returned to its normal state. An active DTC indicates that the rear defrost switch is stuck in a pushed position.

The A/C Heater Control drives the Mode Door Actuator via the (C35) Mode Door Driver circuit and the (C154) Common Door Driver circuit. The Mode Door Actuator shares the (C154) Common Door Driver circuit with the blend door and Recirculation Door Actuators.

The A/C Heater Control calibrates each actuator individually. Automatic calibration occurs upon power up after installing a new A/C Heater Control. Manual calibration occurs by sending a command with the scan tool. The purpose of actuator calibration is to determine the total span of door travel between physical stops. To calibrate the actuator, the A/C Heater Control first moves the door to its soft stop, and then counts the number of pulses it takes to move the door to its other stop. An expected range of span is stored in the control's memory. If the measured calibration value is less than the expected range for this actuator, this DTC will set. Note that the control clears all stored calibration faults at the beginning of the calibration procedure.

The A/C Heater Control drives the Recirculation Door Actuator via the (C32) Recirculation Door Driver and the (C154) Common Door Driver.

The A/C Heater Control monitors the door driver circuits during actuator operation for shorts to ground, shorts to battery, and shorts to other door driver circuits. If detected, the A/C Heater Control reports these types of faults as Control Circuit/Performance DTCs.

The A/C Heater Control drives the Left Blend Door Actuator via the (C54) Left Blend Door Driver circuit and the (C154) Common Door Driver circuit.
