Turn the ignition to the ON position.

2. Turn the blower motor control to the OFF position.


3. Press and hold the EBL rear window defrost switch down and turn the blower motor control
on. Continue to hold the EBL switch down until the EBL (Electronic back light) status indicator
begins flashing, then release the mode switch. While the test / function is running the EBL status
indicator will flash once per second. If the test / function passes, the EBL status indicator will
stop flashing. If the test / function fail, the A/C and EBL status indicators will flash alternately.

First step is to try a recalibration of the blend door. do the following...

With the blower control knob in the off position start the vehicle. Depress the defrost button and hold
while then turning the blower control knob to high. The defrost led should flash during the blend door
actuation calibration process. The entire process takes approximately 90 seconds.

A manual calibration procedure for the a/c heater temperature control is available. This quick procedure may
be of assistance to ensure that the a/c heater control head is correctly calibrated to the electric blend air
door actuator. If calibration between the two components is not correct, then the customer may experience
conditions where the a/c heater system may not obtain full cooling or full heating capabilities. If the blend
air door actuator does not seem to be functioning properly, or the air seems to be too warm when the
temperature select knob is in the full cold position, or the air seems too cool when the temperature select
knob is in the full hot position, then a manual calibration of the a/c heater control head can be performed.

The software capability that allows for manual calibration of the a/c heater temperature control is only
available on vehicles built approximately between November 20, 2002 and February 01, 2004. The following
temperature control heads, with their respective part numbers, have the software that allows for manual
calibration.
NOTE :The manual calibration procedure can only be started within the first ten (10) seconds after the
ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. Make certain that the battery is fully
charged prior to performing the manual calibration procedure.

NOTE :The pause made at each end of the knob rotation (sweep) is important. If the pause is too short
(less than 0.5 seconds), or if the pause is too long (greater than 1.5 seconds), the manual calibration may
not occur correctly.

MANUAL CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:


With the ignition switch in the OFF position, move the
temperature select control knob to its middle (12
1.

o'clock) position.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (do not


start the vehicle engine).
2.

3 Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch from the OFF to the ON position perform the following
. rotations (sweeps) of the temperature select control knob: (Fig. 1)

From the 12 o'clock position, rotate the temperature


select control knob counter-clockwise to the full cold
a.

position. Pause one second.

Rotate the control knob clockwise to the full hot


position. Pause one second.
b.

c. Rotate the control knob counter-clockwise to the full cold position. Pause one second.

d Rotate the control knob clockwise to the full hot position. Pause one second.
.

e. Rotate the control knob counter-clockwise to the full cold position.

4 Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

ENTERING DISPLAY DTC MODE - MTC SYSTEM
To enter the MTC system's Display DTC Mode, perform the following:

NOTE: An active DTC 33 will prevent the control from entering diagnostic mode and performing
certain diagnostic functions. It will also prevent proper A/C mode switch and status indicator
function. If this occurs, refer to *A/C HEATER CONTROL WILL NOT ENTER DIAGNOSTIC MODE
(MTC) (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/HVAC - Diagnosis and Testing) .
1. Turn the ignition to the On position.
2. Turn the blower motor control (1) to the On position.
3. Press the A/C mode switch (2) down, turn the blower motor control to the Off position, wait until

both LEDs illuminate (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the A/C switch. If there are active
or stored DTCs to display, the A/C status indicator (3) will begin to flash. If there are no active or
stored DTCs to display, the LEDs on the A/C-heater control (4) will turn off and the system will
automatically exit the mode of operation.
4. To manually exit Display DTC Mode, either turn the ignition off or disconnect the negative battery
cable from the battery.

DISPLAY SEQUENCING - MTC SYSTEM


MTC system DTCs will display in ascending numerical order but not in chronological order. Active
DTCs will display before stored DTCs. If there are active and stored DTCs for the same parameter,
the A/C-heater control will NOT display the stored DTC for that parameter. The EBL status indicator
will illuminate and remain illuminated while the A/C-heater control is displaying stored DTCs. After
displaying all active and stored DTCs, the A/C-heater control restarts at the beginning, displaying all
DTCs again. To restart the sequence from the beginning while the A/C-heater control is displaying
DTCs, press the EBL mode switch down, and then release it. This will cause the A/C-heater control
to quit displaying the present code, turn off all LEDs for 2.0 seconds, and then it will begin flashing
all DTCs again from the beginning.

READING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES - MTC SYSTEM

All active and stored DTCs for the MTC system have an assigned code number. The A/C status
indicator flashes in a series of pulses to display the code numbers. Each pulse has an indicator on
time of 0.5 seconds. The tens unit value (1) is flashed first followed by the ones unit value (2). A
2.0 second indicator off-time (3) separates the unit values. When displaying multiple DTCs, the A/C
status indicator will go off for five seconds (4) before displaying the next DTC (5). After displaying
all DTCs (6), the sequence will repeat until exiting Display DTC Mode.

ACTIVE DTCs - ATC AND MTC SYSTEMS


To diagnose HVAC system DTCs (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/HVAC - Diagnosis and
Testing) .

STORED DTCs - ATC AND MTC SYSTEMS


The HVAC System Test provides a means for diagnosing stored DTCs (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based
Diagnostics/HVAC - Standard Procedure) . The HVAC System Test consists of multiple diagnostic
procedures which cover:
A/C System Performance
System Controls
Air-door Functionality
Either perform the entire diagnostic procedure for a complete system test or perform an individual
procedure if diagnosing a specific symptom, condition, or DTC
