1. Auxiliary Air Temperature Malfunction



Circuit/System Description

With the temperature switches at the Radio/HVAC control - auxiliary, 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 puts the mixed air 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

Measure actual temperature using a thermometer at each of the duct temperature sensors. Compare this value to the appropriate scan tool Duct Actual parameter. The measured temperature should be within 5°C (9°F) difference of appropriate Duct Actual parameter value.

Circuit/System Testing


1. Ignition ON, press and release the rear temperature increase switch. Verify the scan tool Rear Temperature Setting parameter. The reading should correspond to the selected temperature.

2. If not the specified value, replace the A21 Radio/HVAC Controls - Auxiliary.

3. Press and release the rear temperature decrease switch. Verify the scan tool Rear Temperature Setting parameter. The reading should correspond to the selected temperature.

4. If not the specified value, replace the A21 Radio/HVAC Controls - Auxiliary.

5. Press and release the ZONE Switch. Verify the scan tool MULTIZONE Switch parameter changes between Active and Inactive.

6. If not the specified value, replace the A20 Radio/HVAC Controls.

7. If all circuits test normal, replace the M6B Air Temperature Door Actuator - Auxiliary and verify the M6B Air Temperature Door Actuator - Auxiliary can be put into all positions. If the M6B Air Temperature Door Actuator - Auxiliary cannot be put into all positions, replace the K33 HVAC Control Module.


Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
