F5: PROGRAM
In this mode, TECH 2 allows the programming of
the ECC control module.
W hen the Program option is selec ted, the following
two choices will be available:
Figure 2F-25
F0: Calibrate Air Mix Door – In this mode, the air
mix door(s) may be re-calibrated/programmed so
they dive to the full hot and full cold stops.
The calibration mode looks at the full movement in
either direction of the air mix doors/motors and
compares the actual voltage values to known base
values. If they are different, the ECC software will
compensate.
To calibrate the air mix door; connect TECH 2 to
DLC, select Body / Electronic Climate Control /
Program / Calibrate Air Mix Door and pres
Calibrate soft key on Tech 2.
When the air mix doors are re-calibrated TECH 2
will display the percentage of variation between the
base value and the pre-calibration value. If this
variation is greater than 5%, a noticeable dif f er enc e
should be felt and could have contributed to a
customer complaint.
NOTE: If programming is unsuccessful repeat the
program again, as th system may have crashed
during this process.
NOTE: During programm ing, a DTC 21 or 24 could
be set. If either of these codes are set, with TECH
2 connected, select Body / Electronic Climate /
Diagnostic Trouble Codes / Clear DTC Information
and clear DTC’s.
Figure 2F-26
F1: Program Code Index – In this mode, the code
index and program m ed c ode version ar e dis played,
as well as provide the operator the option of
reprogramming the code version.
Code Index:1 = Single Zone (SZ) Right Hand Drive.
2. = Dual Zone (DZ) Right Hand Drive.
Code Version:
The code version identifies the progrmmed level
ECC calibration. A Higher number indicates the
latest version of calibration and can be update
using TECH 2.
Figure 2F-27
There are two Options available in the calibration
mode:
1. Base Calibration – brings the ECC operating
parameters to the latest level.
NOTE: Although ECC Control modules are
supplied with a pre-programmed code version, in
some cases the TECH 2 software version maybe
latter, therefore, all new ECC control modules
should be reprogrammed using TECH 2. If the
ECC software version is latter than the TECH 2
base calibration version, TECH 2 will display
“TECH 2 does not include data f or this code index ”,
indicating that programming will not be necessary.
2. Custom Calibration – In this mode, the ECC
system programming function can be re-
calibrated to suit specific customers
complaints. (ie. Reduced Blower calibration
will re-program the blower motor to operate at
a slower speed to reduce airflow or blower
noise).
NOTE: Additional custom calibrations will be
available once established.
To calibrate the ECC control module, either Base
or Customer, connect TECH 2 to the DLC and
select Body / Electronic Climate Control / Pr ogram /
Program Code Index and press Modify soft key on
TECH 2. Select the appropriate calibration version
and press the Enter key.
NOTE: If programming is unsuccessful, repeat the
program again, as the system may have crashed
during this process
Figure 2F-28
1.3. S ENSOR ACCURACY TES T ING
When testing how accurate a sensor is relaying information, you will be required to probe onto the terminals of
either the sensor itself or the terminals of the ECC Module connector within that circuit using an ohmmeter.
For accurate temperature to ohms comparison readings use a digital multimeter placed close to the sensor itself.
1.4 DIAGNOSTIC CHARTS
INTRODUCTION
The following diagnostic charts are designed to provide fast and efficient fault location of the ECC system. Each
diagnostic chart consists of: a ‘diagnostic chart’ and pertinent information including Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
setting parameters and, in most charts, circuit diagrams.
The following figures illustrate the terminal layout for the various connectors used in the ECC system. These figures
should be used in conjunction with the diagnostic chart circuit diagrams when checking circuit faults.
When carrying out wiring checks as directed to by the diagnostic charts, rather than probe terminals and connectors
with incorrect sized multimeter connections, use the adaptors contained in connector test adaptor kit KM-609. This
will prevent any possibility of spreading or damaging wiring harness terminals.
Ensure that at the completion of any diagnostic procedure, all diagnostic tools are removed and all ECC
components are correctly connected.
Techline

Figure 2F-29
Figure 2F-25
INTERMITTENTS
Definition: Problems may or may not turn the ξ symbol on in the ECC control module display or store a DTC,
indicating an intermittent problem. DO NOT use the diagnostic code charts for intermittent problems. When using
the code charts the fault must be present to locate the problem. If a fault is intermittent, use of diagnostic trouble
code charts may result in replacement of good parts.
Most intermittent problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Perform careful visual/physical
checks of the applicable circuit.
Check for:
1. Poor mating of the connector halves or terminal not fully seated in the connector body (backed out).
2. Improperly formed or damaged terminal. All connector terminals in the suspect circuit should be carefully
reformed or replaced to insure proper contact tension.
3. Poor terminal to wire connection. This requires removing the terminal from the connector body to check as
outlined in service operations.
4. ECC earth circuit terminals being loose.
If a visual/physical check does not find the cause of the problem, the car can be driven with a voltmeter
connected to a suspected circuit. A scan tool (TECH 2) can also be used to help detect intermittent conditions.
An abnormal voltage, or scan tool reading, when the problem occurs, indicates the problem may be in that
circuit. If the wiring and connectors check OK, and a diagnostic trouble code was stored for a circuit having a
sensor, substitute a known good sensor and recheck.
Loss of diagnostic code memory. To check, disconnect Ambient Air Temperature sensor and turn the ignition
on until the ξ symbol on in the ECC control module display comes on. DTC 13 should be stored, and kept in
memory when ignition is turned "OFF." If not, the ECC is faulty.
Check for an electrical system interference caused by a defective relay, ECC driven solenoid, or switch. They
can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the problem will occur when the faulty component is operated.
Check for improper installation of non-factory installed electrical options such as lights, 2 way radios, etc.
If problem has not been found, refer to the proper sy mptom and perform all checks listed there.
CHART A - DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT CHECK
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When investigating any complaint of an ECC
problem or malfunction, always begin diagnosis
with the following diagnostic circuit check. This
check is a preliminary procedure that checks to
ensure the ECC is communicating on the serial
data line as well as helping to identify a problem or
malfunction and directing the reader to the
appropriate diagnostic chart in this Section.
With TECH 2 connected to the DLC and the
ignition switched on, TECH 2 should display serial
data communication. If TECH 2 does not display
serial data, the serial data circuit maybe open of
shorted.
There are several other control modules that are
connected to the serial data line (PCM, BCM,
ABS/ASR, ECC, instruments and SDM). Any one
of these control m odules c ould cause a f ault on the
serial data line. This fault could result in TECH 2
not being able to display serial data.
Test Description:
The numbers below refer to step numbers in
diagnostic chart ‘A’
1. This test checks if the ECC control module is
being powered up.
2. This test checks if the ECC control module has
detected and stored a current Diagnostic
Trouble Code.
3. This test determines if TECH is being powered
up.
4. This test checks if tech can communicate with
the ECC control module. If tech 2 cannot
communicate with the ECC control module, you
will not be able to determine which DTC has
been stored in the control module’s memory.
5. Determines which DTC has been stored in the
control module’s memory.
6. This test determines if a DTC was current and
has rectified. An intermittent problem has
caused this DTC to be stored.
7. During this test the ECC control module re-
calibrates the air mix doors, an incorrectly
calibrated air mix door will cause incorrect
operation of the ECC system.
8. Checks accuracy of ECC sensors.
9. During this test the operation of the air
conditioning section of the ECC system is
checked.

DTC 13 - AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (ATS) - SIGNAL VOLTAGE HIGH
Figure 2F-27
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
The Ambient Temperature Sensor (ATS) uses a thermistor to control the signal voltage to the ECC Module. The
ECC Module applies a voltage of 3.2 ±0.2 volts to the sensor when the air is cold, the ATS resistance is high
therefore the ECC Module will sense a high signal voltage. If the ambient air is warm, the ATS resistance is low
therefore the ECC Module will sense a low signal voltage.
DTC 13 will set if: the ATS sensor signal voltage is more than 3.5 ±0.2 volts or, if the ATS sensor, wiring harness
(circuit 735) or connectors are open circuited.
TEST DESCRIPTION:
Number(s) below refer to step numbers in the
following Diagnostic Chart
1. Ensures the Diagnostic Circuit Check has been
performed.
2. Checks that the conditions for setting the DTC
are present or if fault is intermittent.
3. Checks integrity of circuit 735.
4. Checks if sensor is okay by testing resistance
across ATS.
5. Checks for an intermittent connection at ATS.
6. Checks for an open in circuit 155.
7. Checks for an open in circuit 735.
8. Checks for short to voltage in circuit 735.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
The default temperature for an open circuit is 22.5°C.
If the vehicle is left idling for an extended period, the
ambient temperature readings will rise owing to heat
radiated by the A/C Condenser and lack of airflow.
When using the temperature/resistance chart below,
place a thermometer as close as possible to the
sensor being tested, com pare this temperature figure
taken to the resistance value.

DTC 19 - SUN LOAD SENSOR FAULT
Figure 2F-33
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
The sun load sensor is mounted in the instrument
panel pad between the demist duc ts to monitor the
amount of sun load and am bient light in f ront of the
vehicle. The am bient light m onitored is us ed by the
BCM for Auto Lights O n operation ( twilight s entinel)
and the sun load monitored is used by the ECC
control module. The BCM monitors the voltage
from this sensor via circuit 272 and converts this
voltage signal into steps which it s ends to the ECC
control module via the auxiliary serial data line,
circuit 1220. T he m es sage sent will vary between 0
and 254 steps depending on the amount of sun
load (0 = no sun load, 254 = maximum sun load).
DTC 19 will set if the BCM sends a sun load sensor
value of 255 steps to the ECC c ontrol m odule. T he
BCM will send this value if it detects a high sun
load and a low twilight level.

DTC 21 - AIR MIX MOTOR DRIVERS SIDE (SZ/DZ)
Figure 2F-39
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
The air m ix motor is actually an electric m otor used
to operate the air m ixing door. T he electr ic m otor is
sent a voltage signal of 12.5 volts from the ECC
control module which causes the motor to turn,
which moves the air mix door towards or away
from the heater core, the direction change takes
place by reversing the polarity of this motor.
A potentiometer (PBR) is housed in the air mix
motor circuit which feeds signals (3.6 ± 0.18 volts)
back to the ECC control module as to the
positioning of the motor and consequently the air
mix door.
DTC 21 will set: if the dr iver’s PBR feedbac k signal
fails to r each the requested value. T his will occur if
the PBR or motor is open or short circuited, or if
the air mix door is jammed or sticking.
TEST DESCRIPTION:
Number(s) below refer to step numbers in the
following Diagnostic Chart
1. Ensures the Diagnostic Circuit Check has been
performed.
2. This test checks that the DTC is current.
3. This test checks if the motor is moving
4. This test checks that the m otor is stopping within
the correct range @ full cold.
5. This test checks that the m otor is stopping within
the correct range @ full hot.
6. Attempts to re-calibrate & check DTC is still
current
7. Determines if a motor fault is more likely than a
PBR fault to be the cause of the problem.
8. Checks fault has been rectified.
NOTES ON DIAGNOSTIC CHART:
1. Refer to Section 12P WIRING DIAGRAMS for
procedures on checking wiring faults.
2. Refer to 1.1 TECH 2 DIAGNOSTICS in this
Section for connecting and using TECH 2.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
An air mix motor or door problem will always be
associated with non-regulated or incorrect
temperatures from mode positions.
The ECC control module, during calibration, sets a
minimum and a maximum PBR value for the air mix
motor in it’s memory. It is these values which
determine the operating range of the air mix motor
and against which all movements of the air mix
adjustm ent are scaled. Any PBR signal value outside
the minimum or maximum vale are considered a
motor fault.
The ECC c ontrol module m onitors the rate of change
of PBR signal during air mix motor movement. If this
rate of change falls to 0 (such as a broken air mix
motor wire or physical jam b), the ECC contr ol m odule
will recognise the stoppage and set the fault code.
If DTC 21 was present before turning the ignition off,
when the ignition is turned on again, the ECC control
m odule will autom atically try to re-c alibrate the air m ix
door. This takes approxim ately 15 seconds. If the re-
calibration fails, then DTC 21 will be set again.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
An air mix motor or door problem will always be
associated with non-regulated or incorrect

The ECC control module, during calibration, sets a
minimum and a maximum PBR value for the air mix
motor in it’s memory. It is these values which
determine the operating range of the air mix motor
and against which all movements of the air mix
adjustm ent are scaled. Any PBR signal value outside
the minimum or maximum vale are considered a
motor fault.
The ECC c ontrol module m onitors the rate of change
of PBR signal during air mix motor movement. If this
rate of change falls to 0 (such as a broken air mix
motor wire or physical jam b), the ECC contr ol m odule
will recognise the stoppage and set the fault code.
If DTC 24 was present before turning the ignition off,
when the ignition is turned on again, the ECC control
m odule will autom atically try to re-c alibrate the air m ix
door. This takes approxim ately 15 seconds. If the re-
calibration fails, then DTC 24 will be set again.

DTC 36 - SERIAL DATA COMMUNICATIONS ERROR
Figure 2F-41
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
When investigating any complaint of an ECC
problem or malfunction, always begin diagnosis
with the following diagnostic circuit check. This
check is a preliminary procedure that checks to
ensure the SDM is communicating on the serial
data line as well as helping to identify a problem or
malfunction and directing the reader to the
appropriate diagnostic chart in this section.
With TECH 2 connected to the DLC and ignition
switched on, TECH 2 should display serial data
communication.
If TECH 2 does not display serial data, the serial
data circuit maybe open or shorted.
There are several other control modules that are
connected to the serial data line (PCM, BCM,
ABS/ASR, instruments and SDM. Any of these
control modules could cause a fault on the serial
data line. This fault could result in TECH 2 not
being able to display serial data.
DTC will set if set if the serial data line (circuits
1220 or 1221) are interrupted and the ECC does
not receive data from the PCM or BCM for 10
seconds.
TEST DESCRIPTION:
Number(s) below refer to step numbers in the
following Diagnostic Chart
1. Ensures the Diagnostic Circuit Check has been
performed.
2. Determines if there is a fault in the serial data
circuit (1221) between the BCM and PCM by
starting the engine. If serial data was lost while
the engine was running, the engine will restart
but there will be a one second delay.
3. Checks if fault is common with other control
modules connected to the serial data circuit.
4. Checks internal switch in BCM for open circuit.
5. Checks circuit 1220 and determines if fault is in
wiring or a control module.
6. Checks circuit 1220 for open circuit.
7. Checks integrity of earth circuits for the BCM,
PCM and ECC control module
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
A fault with the serial data circ uit could be caused by
one or more of the several control modules
connected to this serial data circuit. Isolate the fault
by disconnecting each control module, one at a time
until serial data communication is restored.
NOTES ON DIAGNOSTIC CHART:
1. Refer to Section 12P WIRING DIAGRAMS for
procedures on checking wiring faults.
2. Refer to 1.1 TECH 2 DIAGNOSTICS in this
Section for connecting and using TECH 2.
3. To check the integrity of the ECC control module
earth circuit; turn ignition and ECC system ON
and check for a voltage drop across circuit 155
(Black/Yellow wire), between ECC control
module connector YB87, terminal 2, and earth
point E3.
To check the integrity of the BCM earth circuit;
turn ignition ON and check for a voltage drop
across circuit 155 (Black/Yellow wire), between
BCM connector YB176, terminal A1 and earth
point E3
To check the integrity of the PCM earth circuit,
refer to Earth Credibility Check in Section 6C1
