electric motor and a potentiometer. The module supplies a low reference and 5-volt reference source voltage to the potentiometer. The HVAC
control module monitors the voltage drop across the potentiometer on the door position signal circuit. When the actuator shaft rotates, the voltage
on the door position signal circuit changes. The HVAC module controls the direction of the actuator door by changing the polarity of the control
circuits.
* Air Flow Control 3 is the mode actuator
* Air Flow Control 7 is the recirculation actuator
* Temperature Control 1 is the left temperature actuator
* Temperature Control 2 is the right temperature actuator
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition ON.
* Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
* The HVAC module is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The actual door position differs from the commanded door position by more than 4 counts or the HVAC control module detects the door position
signal circuit is less than 7 counts or greater than 250 counts.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Control A and control B circuits are deactivated for the appropriate actuator.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The DTC becomes history when the HVAC control module no longer detects the condition that set the DTC.
* The history DTC will clear after 50 fault-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, command the appropriate actuator to 100 percent with a scan tool. The scan tool should display between 224 and 230 counts on the
mode actuator, all other actuators should display between 199 and 205 counts.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the HVAC control module.
2. Ignition ON, Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 18 and ground.
瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for an short to ground or a open/high resistance.
3. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the HVAC control module and disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate actuator.
4. Ignition OFF, test for less than 10 ohms between the following low reference circuit terminal and ground.
* Air temperature actuator-left terminal 1
* Air temperature actuator-right terminal 2
* Mode actuator terminal 2
