Circuit/System Description

The HVAC control module controls the HVAC door actuators to regulate the airflow through the HVAC system. Each actuator consists of two driver circuits. The HVAC control module supplies the actuator motor with a 12-volt driver control circuit and a ground driver control circuit. The HVAC module controls the direction of the actuator door by changing the polarity of the control circuits.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The actual door position differs from the commanded door position by more than 4 counts or the HVAC control module detects the door position signal circuit is shorted to ground shorted to voltage or open.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Driver A and driver B circuits are deactivated for the appropriate actuator.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the appropriate actuator.
2. Ignition ON, command the actuator ON.
3. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between battery voltage and control circuits A and B.

⇒	If the test lamp stays illuminated, test the control A or control B circuit for a short to ground. If circuit tests normal replace the HVAC control module.

4. Command the actuator OFF.
5. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between battery voltage and control circuits A and B.

⇒	If the test lamp does not stay illuminated, test the control A or control B circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If circuit tests normal replace the HVAC control module.

6. Command the actuator ON.
7. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between ground and control circuits A and B.

⇒	If the test lamp does not stay illuminated, test the control A or control B circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If circuit tests normal replace the HVAC control module.

8. Command the actuator OFF.
9. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between ground and control circuits A and B.

⇒	If the test lamp stays illuminated, test the control A or control B circuit for a short to voltage. If circuit tests normal replace the HVAC control module.

10. If all circuits test normal, replace the actuator.
