Normal Operation
Under normal operation, to rotate the mode door actuator clockwise, the EMTC module supplies voltage to the BLEND, DEFROST and FLOOR/PANEL mode door actuator motors through the door actuator feed B circuits, and supplies ground through the door actuator feed A circuits. To rotate the mode door actuator counterclockwise, the EMTC module reverses the voltage and ground circuits.

The mode door actuator feedback resistors are supplied a ground from the EMTC module by the mode door actuator return circuits and a 5-volt reference voltage on the mode door actuator reference circuits. The EMTC module reads the voltage on the mode door actuator feedback circuits to determine the mode door actuator position by the position of the actuator feedback resistor wiper arm.

Door actuator feed B circuits
- Blend - 1376 (BK/LB)
- Defrost - 1137 (YE/LG)
- Floor/Panel - 1129 (BN/WH)

Door actuator feed A circuits
- Blend - 1375 (PK/YE)
- Defrost - 1136 (RD/WH)
- Floor/Panel - 1128 (GY/LB)

Door actuator return circuits
- Blend - 438 (RD/WH)
- Defrost - 438 (RD/WH)
- Floor/Panel - 438 (RD/WH)

Door actuator reference circuits
- Blend - 436 (RD/LG)
- Defrost - 436 (RD/LG)
- Floor/Panel - 436 (RD/LG)

Door actuator feedback circuits
- Blend - 437 (YE/LG)
- Defrost - 1982 (LB/BK)
- Floor/Panel - 435 (YE/LB)

Possible Causes
- An open, short to voltage, ground or together in door actuator open, close, return, reference or feedback circuits
- Blend, air inlet, defrost and floor/panel mode door actuator motor
- EATC module
- Manual climate control module
- Stuck or bound linkage or door
