Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki XL7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3.  This step tests for an auxiliary blower motor that does not operate regardless of the desired blower motor speed.
  2. 4.  This step tests for an auxiliary blower motor that operates, yet does not accurately respond to the desired blower motor speed.
  3. 8.  The measured voltage should be near the specified value for each mode position.

  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Place the auxiliary blower motor switch in the OFF position.

Is the auxiliary blower motor OFF?
Go to Step 3 Go to AUXILIARY BLOWER MOTOR MALFUNCTION ]
3 Place the auxiliary blower motor switch in each speed position.
Does the auxiliary blower motor operate in each speed position?
Go to Step 4 Go to AUXILIARY BLOWER MOTOR MALFUNCTION 
4 Does the auxiliary blower motor operate at the desired speed? Go to Step 5 Go to AUXILIARY BLOWER MOTOR MALFUNCTION 
5 Place the auxiliary mode switch in each mode position.
Does the air flow from the correct air distribution outlets in each selected mode position?
Go to TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS Go to Step 6

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the auxiliary mode actuator.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the auxiliary mode actuator supply voltage circuit and ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?
Go to Step 7 Go to Step 9
7 Connect a test lamp between the auxiliary mode actuator supply voltage circuit and the low reference circuit of the auxiliary mode actuator.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
Go to Step 8 Go to Step 10

  1. Measure the voltage from the auxiliary mode door control circuit to a good ground.
  2. Place the auxiliary mode switch in each mode position. Refer to TEST DESCRIPTION .

Does the voltage measure near the specified values for each mode selected?
Go to Step 12 Go to Step 11
9 Test the auxiliary mode actuator supply voltage circuit for an open, short to ground or high resistance. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS .
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 17 Go to Step 14
10 Test the low reference circuit of the auxiliary mode actuator for an open or high resistance. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS .
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 17 Go to Step 14
11 Test the auxiliary mode door control circuit for the following:
  • An open
  • A short to ground
  • A short to voltage

Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS .
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 17 Go to Step 14
12 Inspect the auxiliary mode door and the auxiliary mode actuator for the following conditions:
  • A misaligned auxiliary mode actuator. Refer to AUXILIARY MODE ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT .
  • Broken or binding linkages or auxiliary mode door
  • An obstruction that prevents the door from operating within its full range of motion
  • Missing seals to the auxiliary mode door
  • Misaligned seals to the auxiliary mode door

Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 17 Go to Step 13
13 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the auxiliary mode actuator. Refer to TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS and CONNECTOR REPAIRS .
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 17 Go to Step 15
14 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the auxiliary HVAC control module. Refer to TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS and CONNECTOR REPAIRS .
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 17 Go to Step 16
15 Replace the auxiliary mode actuator. Refer to AUXILIARY MODE ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT .
Did you complete the replacement?
Go to Step 17 -
16 Replace the auxiliary HVAC control module. Refer to CONTROL MODULE REFERENCES for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?
Go to Step 17 -
17 Operate the system in order to verify the repair.
Did you correct the condition?
System OK Go to Step 2
