Diagnostic Test
- READ AND RECORD DTCS AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA - ERASE DTCS AND CHECK FOR DTC TO RETURN WARNING:
On vehicles equipped with the high voltage system, you must thoroughly read and follow all High Voltage Safety procedures. In addition, before performing any diagnostic or service procedure near a high voltage component, you must perform the High Voltage Power Down. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
Read the HIGH-VOLTAGE SAFETY PROCEDURES. Refer to HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY PROCEDURES .
When the HIGH-VOLTAGE POWER-DOWN PROCEDURE is necessary. Refer to HIGH VOLTAGE POWER DOWN .
- With the scan tool, read DTCs in all Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and record on the repair order.
- For future reference, with the scan tool, run and save a vehicle Scan Report and all related recorded data.
- With the scan tool, erase all DTCs.
- Turn the ignition off for a minimum of 10.0 seconds.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using the When Monitored and Set Conditions above and recorded data, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the appropriate INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- CHECK FOR PROPER COOLING FAN OPERATION
- Start the vehicle and turn the A/C on.NOTE:
Visually inspect the Condenser and Radiator for an debris which may be blocking air flow before proceeding.
Are the cooling fans operating properly?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, diagnose and repair the cooling fan system.
- Perform the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Start the vehicle and turn the A/C on.
- CHECK FOR PROPER A/C PRESSURES AND HIGH PRESSURE SENSOR READING
- Connect an approved A/C recovery machine to the A/C system.
- Start the vehicle and turn the A/C on.
- Check the A/C High and Low pressure gauges on the recovery machine.
- With the scan tool, check the A/C pressure sensor reading in the HCP and compare the A/C pressure reading to the A/C pressure gauge.
Are the A/C pressures correct and not abnormally high or the A/C pressure sensor reading correctly?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Correct the cause of the high A/C pressure.
- Check Evaporator for icing or debris.
- Replace the A/C pressure sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- CHECK FOR PROPER REFRIGERANT CHARGE
- Check the A/C system state of charge.
Is the A/C system undercharged?
Yes
- Charge the A/C system with the proper amount of Freon in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Test complete, end of diagnostic test.
- Perform the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Check the A/C system state of charge.
