B11C8-12-RIGHT TEMPERATURE DOOR CONTROL - CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

After the initial installation of the A/C Heater Module, the controller is calibrated to each individual blend/mode door actuator. These calibrations are stored as in the number of pulses it takes to move the door from one stop to another. The A/C Heater Module drives the Door Actuators by the use of Door Driver circuit and a Common Door Driver circuit and monitors all door actuator pulses to detect door movement in both directions. Most of the door actuators share a common door driver circuit but each door actuator has its own unique driver circuit. Due to shared circuitry, similar Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can set at the same time for multiple actuators depending upon the type of circuit malfunction, its location, and the direction the actuator is moving when the malfunction is present. For further information Heating And Air Conditioning - Description.

- When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
The A/C Heater Module detects a short voltage on the Passenger Blend Door control circuit. If the A/C Heater Module detects a valid voltage, the DTC will change from Active to Stored and will stay in the controllers memory for 100 ignition cycles.





Always perform the HVAC Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.

1. CHECK IF DTC IS ACTIVE
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. Using the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs.

Is this DTC active?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Go To 2

2. PERFORM HVAC ACTUATOR CALIBRATION TEST
1. Using the scan tool, perform the HVAC Actuator Calibration Test.

Did this DTC change from Stored to Active while performing the HVAC Actuator Calibration Test?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Go To 6

3. CHECK THE (C33/52) PASSENGER BLEND DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE




1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the A/C Heater Module C1 harness connector.
3. Disconnect the Passenger Blend Door Actuator harness connector.
4. Ignition on, engine not running.
5. Measure the voltage of the (C33/52) Passenger Blend Door Driver circuit.

Is there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the (C33/52) Passenger Blend Door Driver circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. HVAC Verification Test.

No

- Go To 4

4. CHECK THE (C807/C252) COMMON DOOR DRIVER 2 CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE




1. Measure the voltage of the (C807/C252) Common Door Driver 2 circuit.

Is there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the (C807/C252) Common Door Driver 2 circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. HVAC Verification Test.

No

- Go To 5

5. CHECK THE PASSENGER BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR
1. Replace the Passenger Blend Door Actuator. Blend Door Actuator - Removal.
2. With the scan tool, erase HVAC DTCs and perform the HVAC Actuator Calibration Test.

Did this DTC reset?

Yes

- Replace and program the A/C Heater Module. A/C And Heater Control Module - Removal.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. HVAC Verification Test.

No

- Test complete.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. HVAC Verification Test.

6. CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS
1. The conditions necessary to set the DTC are not present at this time.
2. With the scan tool, check the Environmental Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
3. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
4. Wiggle the wiring and connectors while checking for shorted and open circuits.

Were there any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the HVAC VERIFICATION TEST. HVAC Verification Test.

No

- Test complete.
