PINPOINT TEST H: INCORRECT/ERRATIC DIRECTION OF AIR FLOW FROM OUTLET — MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL
No
GO to Pinpoint Test K
.
G11 CHECK THE RCC MODULE FUNCTIONS
Press each function button and observe the display.
Does the RCC perform and display any functions?
Yes
INSTALL a new RCC module. TEST the system for normal
operation.
No
GO to
G12
.
G12 CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE RCC
Ignition OFF.
Disconnect: RCC C228.
Ignition ON.
Measure the voltage between ground and:
RCC module C228 pin 11, circuit 729 (RD/WH).
RCC module C228 pin 10, circuit 298 (VT/OG).
Are the voltages greater than 10 volts?
Yes
GO to
G13
.
No
REPAIR the affected circuit. TEST the system for normal
operation.
G13 CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT TO THE RCC
Ignition OFF.
Measure the resistance between the RCC module C228 pin 8, circuit 570 (BK/YE) and ground.
Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
INSTALL a new RCC module. TEST the system for normal
operation.
No
REPAIR circuit 570 (BK/YE) for an open. TEST the system for
normal operation.
Test Step
Result / Action to Take
H1 CHECK THE AIR FLOW IN EACH SETTING
Ignition ON.
With the engine running, set the blower motor speed to maximum.
Check the air flow in each function selector switch setting at engine idle and under acceleration.
Is the air flow from only the defroster outlets in each function selector switch setting?
Yes
GO to
H2
.
No
GO to
H10
.
H2 CHECK FOR VACUUM AT THE CHECK VALVE
Disconnect the vacuum check valve vacuum source line and check for manifold vacuum and connect the vacuum pump.
Is manifold vacuum present at the check valve vacuum source line?
Yes
GO to
H3
.
No
REPAIR or INSTALL a new check valve
vacuum source line. TEST the system for
normal operation.
H3 CHECK THE VACUUM CHECK VALVE FOR BLOCKAGE
Reconnect the vacuum source line to the vacuum check valve.
Disconnect the vacuum reservoir line and the function selector switch source vacuum line from the vacuum check valve one at
a time.
Yes
GO to
H4
.
No
INSTALL a new vacuum check valve
(19A563). TEST the system for normal
operation.
