F4 CHECK FOR A PLUGGED OR RESTRICTED HEATER CORE

Using a suitable temperature measuring device, measure the heater core outlet hose temperature.

Is the heater core outlet hose temperature similar to the inlet hose temperature (within approximately 6-17°C [10-30°F])?

Yes

DIAGNOSE for a temperature door actuator not operating correctly. For inadequate temperature out of the driver side, GO to Pinpoint Test I For inadequate temperature out of the passenger side, GO to Pinpoint Test J

No

INSTALL a new heater core. REFER to: Heater Core (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Removal and Installation).

The A/C Is Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 55 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

Control System Logic REFER to: Climate Control System - Vehicles With: Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) - System Operation and Component Description (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Description and Operation).

Possible Sources

Wiring, terminals or connectors Communication network Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) sensor A/C pressure transducer Evaporator temperature sensor Electric cooling fan Intake Air Temperature (IAT) or other temperature sensors Active grille shutters FCIM PCM

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks

Inspect BJB fuses 23 (10A) and 42 (15A).

PINPOINT TEST G : THE A/C (AIR CONDITIONING) IS INOPERATIVE

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

G1 CHECK THE A/C (AIR CONDITIONING) SYSTEM PRESSURE

Ignition OFF. With the R-134a manifold gauge set connected, check the A/C system pressure.

Is the A/C system pressure above 290 kPa (42 psi)?

Yes

GO to G2
