How do I reset my Acadia HVAC?

SWITCH IGNITION ON ENGINE OFF. REPEATEDLY PRESS VECHICLE INFORMATION BUTTON UNTIL OIL LIFE REMAINING PERCENTAGE IS DISPLAYED. PRESS AND HOLD SET/ RESET BUTTON UNTIL 100% DISPLAYED. CHIME WILL SOUND 3 TIMES AND CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON MESSAGE WILL GO OFF.

Why is my GMC Acadia not blowing cold air?

AC is not blowing COLD air. There is an ond and off hissing sound from the center of the dash. I can hear and see the compressor clutch engaging and disengaging. I put a gauge on the freon low pressure side and it goes up and down as the compressor cycles. Using an infrared thermometer gun I tested the vents.

Why are the vents not working on my Acadia?

Front dash HVAC vents not working (and, what is this wire?) There’s no/little air coming from the front dash vents on my wife’s 2011 Acadia regardless of how the system is set. After doing some research, I’ve tried resetting the HVAC system by temporarily pulling the fuse.

Why are the vents on my GMC AC not working?

Using an infrared thermometer gun I tested the vents. When it was 90+ outside the vents were blowing 80 on recirculate & full max cold. When I shut down the cold the air from the vents shot up to 115. I checked later in the day when it was cooler. It was about 75 outside and the vents were blowing 50.

Where is the leak on a GMC Acadia?

Common leak areas on these vehicles include the A/C condenser (located in front of the radiator), and the evaporator (located inside the dash, and requires complete removal of the interior dash to replace it).

Why does my car AC blow cold air then blow warm air?

But that cold air turns warm fairly soon after because the high side pressures build to the point that the high pressure switch shuts off the compressor clutch. Once pressures equalize, the high pressure switch allows the compressor to start up again. The cycle repeats over and over, providing a short period of cold air, followed by warm air.
