Circuit/System Description

Battery voltage and ground are supplied to the Aux HVAC control module. The front HVAC control module monitors the position of the rear air temperature actuator and the rear mode actuator. The front HVAC module will move the actuators to the proper position when it receives a request from the Aux HVAC control module on which position to place the actuator. The Aux HVAC control module is powered ON or OFF through GMLAN communication by the vehicle power mode.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition ON, HVAC control module ON and the rear climate control AUX button selected.
  2. Verify the rear aux temp door command changes from 10 to 240 counts when the front HVAC module is adjusted from hot to cold.
  3. If commanded state does not change replace the front HVAC control module.
  4. Verify the rear aux temp door command changes from 10 to 240 counts when the auxiliary HVAC module is adjusted from hot to cold.
  5. If commanded state does not change replace the AUX HVAC control module.
