How To Troubleshoot Heating System

How to Retrieve a DTC The Audio-HVAC Module has a self-diagnostic function for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. To run the self-diagnostic function, do the following:

1. Turn the fan switch OFF.

1. Set the temperature control dial on Max Cool, then push the mode control button to select Vent.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

1. While holding the button down, press the rear window defogger button five times within 10 seconds. The recirculation indicator blinks two times, then the self-diagnostic will begin.

   - If no DTC's are found, the indicator will not blink.
