1. Air Temperature Malfunction

 

Circuit/System Description

With the temperature switch at the HVAC control, the desired air temperature flap position can be put in. The selected value is sent to the HVAC control module via the LIN-Bus. The HVAC control module supplies a 12 V reference voltage to the stepper motor and energizes the 4 stepper motor coils with a pulsed ground signal. The stepper motor moves the temperature flap into the calculated position, in order to reach the selected temperature.

Diagnostic Aids

Check the following mechanical fault sources:

•  Air distribution box
•  Air distribution hoses/air distribution ducts

Circuit/System Verification

1. Measure actual evaporator temperature using a thermometer. Compare this value to the scan tool A/C Evaporator Temperature Sensor parameter. The measured temperature should be within 5°C (9°F) difference of parameter value.
    ⇒  If not within the specified range

Refer to DTC B3933 .     ⇓  If within the specified range

2. Engine is running, activate and deactivate the A/C switch. Verify the A/C compressor can be activated and deactivated.
    ⇒  If the A/C compressor cannot be activated or deactivated

Refer to Air Conditioning Compressor Malfunction .     ⇓  If the A/C compressor can be activated or deactivated

3. Verify the engine reaches its operating temperature.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition ON, turn the temperature knob in all positions. Verify the scan tool Left Temperature Knob Position parameter. The reading should correspond to the selected temperature.
    ⇒  If not the specified value

Replace the A26 HVAC Controls.     ⇓  If the specified value

2. Replace the M6 Air Temperature Door Actuator and verify the M6 Air Temperature Door Actuator can be put into all positions.
    ⇒  If the M6 Air Temperature Door Actuator cannot be put into all positions

Replace the K33 HVAC Control Module.     ⇓  If the M6 Air Temperature Door Actuator can be put into all positions

3. All OK.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
