Yes

- Follow the diagnostics for MODE DOOR CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To4

4. CHECK FOR 12 VOLTS TO THE MODE DOOR ACTUATOR




Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Mode Door Actuator harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Actuate the Mode Door Actuator.
Using a volt meter measure the voltage on the (C35) Mode Door Driver (A) circuit in the Mode Door Actuator harness connector.
Does the volt meter read 12 volts?

Yes

- Go To5

No

- Go To6

5. CHECK FOR A BLOCKAGE STALLING THE MODE DOOR ACTUATOR
Turn the ignition off.

Yes

- Repair as necessary. Also, check Mode Door Actuator for proper operation. Reinstall, or replace the Mode Door Actuator as necessary .

No

- Replace the Mode Door Actuator.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

6. CHECK FOR CHAFING IN THE (C35) MODE DOOR DRIVER (A) CIRCUIT
Turn the ignition off.
Check the (C35) Mode Door Driver (A) circuit for wire chafing.
Is any wire chafing present?

Yes

- Repair the wire chafing on the (C35) Mode Door Driver (A) circuit.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

No

- Replace the A/C Heater Control Head.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.
