Normal Operation
Under normal operation, when the A/C button is pressed, a message is sent from the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) bus to the HVAC module. The HVAC module then sends an A/C request message over the MS-CAN bus to the Instrument Cluster (IC), then from the IC through the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus to the PCM.
When MAX A/C is selected on the touch screen, the Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) sends a message over the MS-CAN bus to the HVAC module that MAX A/C has been selected.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- PCM
- HVAC module
