B1040-PANEL MODE DOOR 1 CONTROL CIRCUIT/PERFORMANCE





For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical.

Theory of Operation

The A/C Heater Control drives the Mode Door Actuator via the (C35) Mode Door Driver circuit and the (C34) Common Door Driver circuit. The Mode Door Actuator does not share the (C34) Common Door Driver circuit or its driver inside the A/C Heater Control with any other actuator.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
If the A/C Heater Control detects a short to ground or to voltage on the (C32) Recirculation Door Driver, the (C61) Blend Door Driver, or the (C34) Common Door Driver circuits while attempting to drive the (C35) Mode Door Driver.





Diagnostic Test

1. ACTIVE DTC(S) PRESENT
Turn the ignition on.
Using the A/C Heater Control, actuate the Mode Door.
With the scan tool, check for DTCs.
Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

Yes

- Go to 2

No

- The condition that caused this symptom is currently not present. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also, inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.
