Jeep Repair: 2000 Jeep GC, poor Heat, Blend OK, system faults, air doors


Question
Hi Kevin,
2000 Jeep GC 4.7, AZC.  Dash off and new heater/AC cores 1 year ago and heat problem may have started then.  Analysis:  Drivers blend door operates OK, 90 degree ark, heater hose to heater core 195F, heat at floor or vent 125F, recirculate door OK.  Stumped.
Rob

Answer
so u have the dash out right now looking at the blend air doors?
did u perform this b4 u took the dash apart?

FAULT CODE TESTS
Fault codes are two-digit numbers that identify a circuit that is malfunctioning. There are two different kinds of fault codes.

Current Fault Codes - Current means the fault is present right now. There are two types of current faults: input faults, and system faults. If the system has a current fault when the ignition is turned "ON", or during normal operation a current fault occurs, the right side set temperature digits will display "ER" at maximum intensity, while the left side set temperature digits are blanked.
Historical Fault Codes - Historical or stored means that the fault occurred previously, but is not present right now. A majority of historical fault codes are caused by intermittent wire harness or wire harness connector problems.
CURRENT FAULT CODES  
Input faults  01 = IR thermister circuit open  
02 = IR thermister circuit shorted  
03 = Fan pot shorted  
04 = Fan pot open  
05 = Mode pot shorted  
06 = Mode pot open  
07 = IR sensor delta too large  
08 = Reserved  
09 = Reserved  
10 = Reserved  
11 = Reserved  
12 = Reserved  
System Faults  13 = AI (Recirc) motor not responding  
14 = Mode motor not responding  
15 = Left temperature door not responding  
16 = Right temperature door not responding  
17 = AI (Recirc) door travel too small  
18 = AI (Recirc) door travel too large  
19 = Mode door travel range too small  
20 = Mode door travel range too large  
21 = Left temperature door travel too small  
22 = Left temperature door travel too large  
23 = Right temperature door travel too small  
24 = Right temperature door travel too large  
25 = Calibration check sum error  
26 = Engine coolant temp bus message missing  
27 = Vehicle speed bus message missing  
28 = Engine RPM bus message missing  
29 = OAT bus message missing  
30 = Display intensity bus message missing  
31 = VIN number bus message missing  
32 = Reserved


HISTORICAL FAULT CODES  
Input faults  33 = IR thermister circuit was open  
34 = IR thermister circuit was shorted  
35 = Fan pot was shorted  
36 = Fan pot was open  
37 = Mode pot was shorted  
38 = Mode pot was open  
39 = IR sensor delta was too large  
40 = Reserved  
41 = Reserved  
42 = Reserved  
43 = Reserved  
44 = Reserved  
System Faults  45 = AI (Recirc) motor was not responding  
46 = Mode motor was not responding  
47 = Left temperature door was not responding  
48 = Right temperature door was not responding  
49 = AI (Recirc) door travel was too small  
50 = AI (Recirc) door travel too large  
51 = Mode door travel range too small  
52 = Mode door travel range too large  
53 = Left temperature door travel too small  
54 = Left temperature door travel too large  
55 = Right temperature door travel too small  
56 = Right temperature door travel too large  
57 = Calibration check sum error  
58 = Engine coolant temp bus message missing  
59 = Vehicle speed bus message missing  
60 = Engine RPM bus message missing  
61 = OAT bus message missing  
62 = Display intensity bus message missing  
63 = VIN number bus message missing  
64 = Reserved  
65 = Reserved  
66 = Reserved  
67 = Reserved

NOTE: A battery disconnect will erase all faults stored in Random Access Memory (RAM) of the AZC control module. It is recommended that all faults be recorded before they are erased.

RETRIEVING FAULT CODES
To begin the fault code tests, depress the A/C and Recirc buttons at the same time and rotate the left temperature control knob clockwise (CW) one detent, then release the push-button.
If there are no fault codes, the "00" display value will remain in the VF window. Should there be any codes, each will be displayed for one second in ascending numerical sequence (note: no effort is made to display faults in the order they occurred) The left side set temperature display will be blanked and the right side set temperature display will indicate current and historical codes (8 historical max) presently active. Once all codes have been displayed, the system will repeat the fault code numbers. This will continue until the left side set temperature control is moved at least one detent position in either direction, by pressing both the A/C and Recirc buttons at the same time, or the ignition is turned off. Record all of the fault codes, then see the Current and Historical Fault Code charts for the descriptions
