Passenger side seems to only have fresh air, no climate control. Seems there’s no heat or air on passenger side floor or vents. Driver side is fine. Even if you turn off Dual Climate the air on passenger side is not conditioned, it’s as though only the fan is turned on. I’ve done nothing to attempt to fix the problem, only been reading looking for the source of the problem.

Thanks,
Roger

Hi Roger,

If you mean the temperature on the passenger side doesn't change, that is related to a blend air door actuator. You could remove it to confirm it doesn't move when changing temps. However, this is the likely cause.

Here is a link showing in general how it's done:

Here are directions specific to your vehicle. The attached 3 pictures correlate with the directions.

Removal and Installation

Remove the Audio Front Control Module (ACM) . For additional information, refer to Section 415-00 .
While pushing the glove compartment door tab, position the glove compartment downward.

NOTE: The forward RH temperature blend door actuator screw can be removed with a combination wrench. With one hand working through the ACM opening, hold the top end of the combination wrench. With the other end of the combination wrench pointing away (toward the right front corner of the vehicle), and with the other hand working through the glove compartment opening, the combination wrench can be manipulated.

Remove the 2 RH temperature blend door actuator screws.
Detach the temperature blend door actuator.
Disconnect the temperature blend door actuator electrical connector.
Remove the temperature blend door actuator.
NOTICE: The ignition key must be off when replacing the actuator. Energizing the actuator before installation will cause the part to become positioned incorrectly and proper orientation will be lost. Incorrect actuator operation will result.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
NOTE: The purpose of the module actuator position calibration is to allow the HVAC module to reinitialize and calibrate the actuator stop points. To carry out calibration, carry out the following steps.

Remove Smart Junction Box (SJB) fuse 15 for at least one minute.
NOTE: When the ignition switch is switched to the ON position, the HVAC module will initialize and calibrate the actuators. Calibration of the actuators will take approximately 30 seconds.

Reinstall SJB fuse 15. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait 30 seconds before verifying correct mode door actuator operation.
