A/C - Unable To Change A/C Modes
Bulletin No.: 06-01-39-006
Date: July 12, 2006
TECHNICAL
Subject:
Unable To Change HVAC System Modes (Update HVAC Control Module Software)
Models:
2006 Chevrolet Impala, Monte Carlo
with Manual Control HVAC System (RPO CJ3) or Automatic Control HVAC System (RPO C67)
Condition
Some customers may comment that they are unable to change the modes in their Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system or that the
air is misdirected from the selected mode. The system will reset itself if turned to the defrost mode but the lockup could occur again when moved to other
modes.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a logic lock-up in the HVAC control module.
Correction
Technicians are to reprogram the HVAC control module with an updated software calibration. The new calibration was released beginning with TIS
satellite data update version 6.5 which was made available on June 12, 2006. As always, make sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software
version.
It is recommended that the HVAC actuators be recalibrated after the HVAC control module software is updated. Refer to Re-Calibrating Actuators in the
HVAC section of SI for more information.
