A1 COMPARE THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) PRESSURE SENSOR PID (PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION) WITH THE MANIFOLD GAUGE SET READINGS

NOTE: The following pinpoint test step is tested in ambient temperature of approximately 21.1°C (70°F). As ambient temperatures near 38°C (100.4°F), the pressure value difference increases above ± 15 psi (103 kPa) range

  • Allow the vehicle exterior and interior to stabilize to ambient temperature. This can take a soak period of at least 6 hours.
  • Connect the manifold gauge set.
  • Ignition ON.
  • Access the  PCM  and monitor the  ACP_PRESS (kPa)  PID

PINPOINT TEST H : THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL IS INOPERATIVE OR DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY - PASSENGER SIDE

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

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

Temperature Door Actuator - Passenger Side, REFER to: Climate Control System - System Operation and Component Description (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Description and Operation).

During an actuator calibration cycle, the HVAC control module drives the temperature door until the door reaches both internal stops in the HVAC case. If the temperature door is temporarily obstructed or binding during a calibration cycle, the HVAC control module can interpret this as the actual end of travel for the door. When this condition occurs and the HVAC control module commands the actuator to its end of travel, the airflow may not be the expected temperature.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The PCM controls the A/C compressor clutch field coil based on messages received from the BCM over the HS-CAN. When the HVAC control module determines it is necessary to activate the A/C compressor, either due to driver request or due to automatic climate control settings, the HVAC control module sends a message to the BCM over the MS-CAN, the BCM then sends a message to the PCM to activate the A/C compressor.

An internal failure of the PCM, BCM or HVAC control module; or a failure in the MS-CAN or HS-CAN causes the PCM to set a DTC.

PINPOINT TEST AI : ACCM (AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL MODULE) A/C (AIR CONDITIONING) ELECTRIC COMPRESSOR INOPERATIVE

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

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The ACCM is an integral part of the A/C electric compressor and cannot be removed from or serviced separately. The ACCM has both low voltage and high voltage electrical connections.
