test or replace the heater core coolant pump relay.

4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the relay switch B+ circuit terminal 30 and ground.

瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, test the relay switch B+ circuit for an open/high resistance.

5. Disconnect the harness connector at the heater core coolant pump.

6. Test for less than 5.0 ohms between the heater core coolant pump ground circuit terminal and ground.

瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

7. Connect the harness connector at the heater core coolant pump.

8. Connect a 15 A fused jumper wire between the relay switch B+ circuit terminal 30 and the relay controlled output circuit terminal 87. Verify

the heater core coolant pump is activated.

瀚慖f the heater core coolant pump does not activate, test the relay controlled output circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests

normal, test or replace the heater core coolant pump.

9. Connect a test lamp between the relay coil B+ circuit terminal 85 and the relay coil control circuit terminal 86.

10. Command the heater core coolant pump on and off with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the

commanded states.

瀚慖f the test lamp is always ON, test the relay coil control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control

module.

瀚慖f the test lamp is always OFF, test the relay coil control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests

normal, replace the HVAC control module.

11. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the relay.
