Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 55 for schematic and connector information Electrical Diagrams.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
Pinpoint Test
1. CARRY OUT THE HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) MODULE SELF-TEST
1. Ignition ON
2. Using a scan tool, clear DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
3. Wait 10 seconds.
4. Using a scan tool, perform HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) module self-test.
Is DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) U3006:16 or U3006:17 still present?
2. RETRIEVE PCM (Powertrain Control Module) DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes)
1. Using a scan tool, perform PCM (Powertrain Control Module) self-test.
Are any charging system DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) present in the PCM (Powertrain Control Module)?
3. CHECK BATTERY CONDITION
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Carry out the battery condition test. REFER to Diagnostic Routine A: Battery Condition Test Pinpoint Tests.
Does the battery pass the condition test?
4. CHECK THE CHARGING SYSTEM VOLTAGE
NOTE: Do not allow the engine RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) to exceed 2,000 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) while carrying out this step or the generator may self-excite, resulting in default charging system output voltage. If engine RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) has exceeded 2,000 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute), shut the vehicle off and restart the engine before carrying out this step.
1. Start the engine.
2. Measure:
3. For DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) U3006:17, turn off all accessories and run the engine at 1,500 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) for a minimum of 2 minutes.
4. For DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) U3006:16, turn on headlights and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) fan on high and run engine at 1,500 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) for a minimum of 2 minutes.
Is the battery voltage between 13-15.2 volts?
5. CHECK THE HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect: HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Module C228B.
3. Ignition ON.
4. Measure:
Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?
6. CHECK THE HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Measure:
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
7. CHECK FOR CORRECT HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) MODULE OPERATION
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect and inspect all the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) module connectors.
3. Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals- clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins- install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins- install new pins as necessary
4. Reconnect the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
5. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
