Condition Some customers may comment on an inoperative or intermittent Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) blower motor. Others may comment that the blower motor speed may momentarily drop or that the blower motor continues to run after the key is turned off. Cause This condition may be caused by a voltage spike from the wiper motor. The voltage spike may cause a logic lock up in the blower motor control module that may be either momentary or permanent. Correction DO THIS DON’T DO THIS Install a Capacitor at the Blower Motor Control Module Connector Technicians are to install a capacitor, P/N 25073556, at the blower motor control module connector using the following procedure: 1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Refer to the Battery Negative Cable Disconnect/Connect procedure in the Engine Electrical section of SI. 2. Remove the right closeout/insulator panel.

HVAC Module Self-Test The HVAC module self-test will not detect concerns associated with data link messages like engine coolant temperature or vehicle speed signals. A scan tool must be used to retrieve these concerns. The HVAC module self-test will detect concerns in the system control functions and will display hard DTCs. Hard DTCs identify faults which are present during the self-test. The vehicle interior/ambient temperature should be between 4-32° (40-90°F) when carrying out the self-tes t. If the temperatures are not within the specified ranges, false temperature C sensor DTCs will be displayed. The self-test can be initiated at any time. Normal operation of the system stops when the self-test is activated. To enter the self-test, press the OFF and FLOOR buttons simultaneously and then press the AUTO button within 2 seconds. The display will show the fan speed indicator illuminating from low to high. The test may run as long as 30 seconds. Record all DTCs displayed. If any DTCs appear during the self-test, follow the diagnostics procedure given under ACTION for each DTC given. If a condition exists but no DTCs appear during the self-test, GO to Symptom Chart – Climate Control Systems. To exit the self-test and clear all DTCs, press the front DEFROST button. The HVAC control assembly will then turn OFF (display blank) and all DTCs will be cleared. Always exit the self-test before powering the system down (system turned OFF). If a condition exists, but no on-demand DTCs appear during the self-test, carry out the HVAC Module Retrieve Continuous DTCs self test. HVAC Module — Retrieve Continuous DTCs This function will display continuous (intermittent) codes and hard faults that occur during normal operation. To display continuous codes, press the OFF and FLOOR buttons simultaneously and then release and within 2 seconds press the RECIRC button. To exit the display of continuous codes, press the front DEFROST button. This will exit and clear all DTCs. Press any button except DEFROST to exit without clearing DTCs set before the last ignition cycle. Always exit continuous codes display before powering the system down (system turned off). Continuous DTCs are saved only after an ignition cycle. Continuous DTCs will be deleted after 80 ignition switch ON cycles after the intermittent condition occurs.
