Manufacturer communication — 2006 GMC YUKON

• The article concerns some 2003-06 Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, and GMC Yukon models with RPO CJ2 and C69.

  the passage

  Owners of some 2003-06 Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, and GMC Yukon models with RPO CJ2 and C69 may have one or more of the following concerns:

• The concerns are an intermittent ticking or clicking noise from the rear HVAC system, being unable to control the rear system temperature, and being unable to change the rear system modes.

  the passage

  - Intermittent ticking/clicking noise from rear HVAC system - Unable to control rear system temperature - Unable to change rear system modes

• A defaulted door stays at the default position until the code is cleared; clearing the code lets it operate properly until overtravel occurs again.

  the passage

  When a system door defaults, that door stays at the default position until the code is cleared. Clearing the code allows the door to operate properly until the overtravel condition re-occurs.

Possible causes

• The HVAC actuators may hunt for the correct commanded position, and this cycling can cause a clicking or ticking noise.

  the passage

  The HVAC actuators may hunt for the correct commanded position. This cycling can cause a clicking or ticking noise.

• Overtravel of the HVAC system control doors can cause the listed conditions; when it occurs a DTC sets and the door goes to a preset default position.

  the passage

  Overtravel of the HVAC system control doors can cause one or more of the listed system conditions. If overtravel occurs, a DTC sets and the door goes to a preset default position.

Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

• The overtravel DTCs are B0434 for the auxiliary (rear) temperature door and B3764 for the auxiliary (rear) mode door.

  B0434 Auxiliary (rear) temperature door B3764 Auxiliary (rear) mode door

Repair

• Replace the auxiliary (rear) HVAC control module; it contains a new calibration that compensates for the actuator overtravel and the hunting, clicking and ticking noises.

  the passage

  Replace the auxiliary (rear) HVAC control module (part number listed in the table below). This module contains a new calibration to compensate for the actuator overtravel condition and the hunting/clicking and ticking noises.

Caution

• With the new module the rear blower speed may rise slightly (approximately 50 rpm); if the customer objects, the blower control module may be replaced with the second design blower control module.

  the passage

  When using the new auxiliary HVAC control module, you may notice a slight increase in rear blower speed (approximately 50 rpm). If the customer comments that the increase in blower speed is objectionable, the blower control module may be replaced with the second design blower control module to correct the slight increase in blower speed.

• Do not use the revised auxiliary HVAC control module unless one or more of the listed codes is set; it will not correct any other DTC or A/C performance concern.

  the passage

  TIP: The revised auxiliary HVAC control module should not be used unless one or more of the codes listed above is set. The revised control module will not correct any other DTC or A/C performance concern.
