Recirc Door Test Failure Trouble Code (Inoperative or Stall)

NAME OF CODE
Mode Door Stall Test Failure
Blend Door Stall Test Failure
Recirculation Door Test Failure

WHEN MONITORED
During HVAC motor calibration

SET CONDITION
BCM is unable to detect the end of travel for one or more of the HVAC doors

THEORY OF OPERATION
At the first ignition on after a battery disconnect, and upon request from the DRB III, Manual HVAC head, or ATC head, the BCM will run each a the three HVAC actuators (mode, blend, and recirc) from end-to-end to learn their limits of travel. If the BCM has activated the mode door for 13 seconds, the blend door for 7.8 seconds, or the recirc door for 8 seconds and has still not detected the end of travel (by detecting the increased stall current), the appropriate fault will be set.

PROBABLE CAUSES
- Wiring open circuit
- Failed HVAC actuator
- Failed BCM
