B11E9-92-LEFT TEMPERATURE KNOB REQUEST INPUT - PERFORMANCE OR INCORRECT OPERATION

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The HVAC A/C Heater Control contains various switches and knobs that are used to change the systems operation. There are currently three types of switches used depending on the configuration of the system. Push button momentary switches which are normally open or in the Off position. Multifunction or rotary switches which have several distinct positions and potentiometers which are a rotary variable resistor that is used for a more precise control. An active Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) indicates that either a control switch or potentiometer is stuck in an On position or out of a calibrated range. A stored DTC indicates that control switch or potentiometer was stuck On or out of calibration but has since returned to its normal state. For further information Description and Operation.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
If the Left Temperature Control has a mechanical or electrical failure for more than 30 seconds. This DTC has a de-maturing time of one second. If the DTCs status changes from active to stored, the DTC will stay in memory for 100 ignition cycles.





Always perform the HVAC Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. HVAC Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.

1. A/C HEATER CONTROL
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Using the scan tool, erase HVAC DTCs.
3. Turn the ignition off for 10 seconds, and then turn the ignition on.
4. Slowly Turn the Left Temperature Control from full cold to full hot several times for a minimum of 30 seconds.
5. Using the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs.

Did this DTC reset?

Yes

- Replace and program the A/C Heater Control. A/C And Heater Control - Removal.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. HVAC Verification Test.

No

- Go To 2

2. CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS
1. The conditions necessary to set the DTC are not present at this time.
2. Using the scan tool, check the Environmental Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
3. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
4. Wiggle the wiring and connectors while checking for shorted and open circuits.

Were there any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. HVAC Verification Test.

No

- Test complete.
