Diagnosis and Fault Codes from the Climate Control Head

E-mail Print PDF

22 Diagnostic 'channels' are available on the A/C control head.
(For diagnostic values greater than 199, the first digit is represented as a horizontal and vertical line or "arrow")

Pulling up the display:

  1. Ignition ON
  2. Push & hold the OUTSIDE TEMP button
  3. Push & hold the OFF button
  4. Release OUTSIDE TEMP button then the OFF button

Now you'll see a little vertical line followed by 01. (Looks like '01) This is your 'channel' display. You can adjust the channel by using the warmer cooler buttons on the control head. Once the display shows the proper channel number, press the OUTSIDE TEMP button to show that channel's value. End the session by switching to any A/C mode or switch the ignition off.

 

DIAGNOSTIC CHANNEL CHANNEL DESCRIPTION CHANNEL VALUES

01 -- 16 = See error table
02 Measurement Value of inside temp sensor G86 on roof Depends on temp. (table, Section D8-310)
03 Measurement Value of inside temp sensor G56 on instrument panel. Depends on temp  (table, Section D8-310)
04 Measurement Value of outside temp sensor G57 (plenum) Depends on temp  (table, Section D8-240)
05 Measurement Value of outside temp sensor G17 (cowl) Depends on temp  (table, Section D8-240)
06 Measurement value of coolant temp sensor G62.  Depends on temp  (table, Section D8-320)  Note: Display value for vehicles without coolant temp sensor  255 = open circuit
