[QUOTE="penright, post: 24895, member: 5208"] Is this a joke or serious? I have to ask becuase it would not supprise me with today's tech. My sister-in-law was standing behind and off to the side and the car not on stopped, but refused to go any more. I could see her and knew if was safe, but the car would not have any of it. All the above. When trying to select different modes, ie floor, defrost, etc, it only blows out the side vents. I have maxed them out to where they say 'HI' or something like that. I am sure that is good. When I posted it, I was at my granddaughter's basketball game and did not provide much context or have all the available information at the time. I also was trying to read the owner's manual on my phone's tiny screen. I am old and blind. :=) I did notice that none of the buttons affected the direction in which it was blowing. Also when we left, the longer it ran the colder it got like when the A/C is on. When I got home, I connected my bi-directional scanner. Before I post anything, I am not going to relearn anything, I will take it to the dealership. It just pointed me to there is something wrong. The BCM has some codes and they are in the context of the issue. [ATTACH type="full"]2812[/ATTACH] When I was in the BCM trying to see if the switches say, once I got a com error and had to reconnect. I could commad on some of the systems that are working, but when trying to command the blend doors, I could not tell a differance. I did not spend a lot of time poking around and did not see any way to command the "Temperature Valve Actuator". The PID I found for the tempture contols only showed HI or noraml, not any number values. It did go to high when I selected the max. Makes me think that is getting to the BCM. My scan tool is not professanl grade, it is the Topdon ArtiDiag Pro, and I am very new to it, so it might be there and I can not find it due to my ingorance. I have not found anything online yet to tell me what signales are invloved in commanding the TVA, MVA, etc. I did not want to poke around too much or leave any traces for the dealership to blame it on me. :) [/QUOTE]
