55–BLEND DOOR LINKAGE BROKEN (MTC) (CONTINUED)

Diagnostic Test

VERIFY IF ANY ACTUATOR CIRCUIT TEST FAULTS OR OVERCURRENT FAULTS ARE PRESENT

Turn the ignition on.

Actuate the Clear DTC function by performing the following:

•

Turn the blower control on.

•

Press the A/C mode switch down, turn the blower control to off, wait 5 seconds and then release the A/C mode
switch.

•

When the A/C status indicator begins displaying DTCs, set the Mode switch to the floor position, simulta-
neously press the A/C mode switch and the EBL mode switch down for 5 seconds and then release the mode
switches. Stored DTCs will clear from memory in approximately two seconds.

Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and turn the ignition on.

Actuate the Actuator Circuit Test / Door Calibration Function by performing the following:

•

Turn the blower control off.

•

Press and hold the EBL mode switch down and then turn the blower control on. Continue to hold the EBL
mode switch down until the EBL status indicator begins flashing. Then, release the EBL mode switch. While
the test / function is running, the EBL status indicator will flash once per second. If the test / function passes,
the EBL status indicator will stop flashing. If the test / function fails, the A/C and EBL status indicators will flash
alternately. Allow the test / function to run to completion before proceeding.

Actuate the Display DTC function by performing the following:

•

Turn the blower control on.

•

Press the A/C mode switch down, turn the blower control to off, wait 5 seconds and then release the A/C mode
switch.

NOTE: The A/C status indicator displays active DTCs when the EBL status indictor is not illuminated and
stored DTCs when the EBL status indicator is illuminated.
Read DTCs from the A/C status indictor.

Does the A/C status indicator display any of the following DTCs: 41, 42, 43, 44, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67,
68, 69, 71, or 72?

Yes

>> As present, diagnose and repair the faults in the following order: DTC 72 first, then DTC 62, then DTC

61, then DTCs 64, 66, 68, or 71, then DTCs 63, 65, 67, or 69, and finally DTCs 41, 42, 43, or 44. Refer
to the Table Of Contents in this section for a complete list of HVAC related symptoms.

CHECK FOR A BROKEN LEFT BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR

Turn the ignition off.

Remove the Left Blend Door Actuator from the A/C Heater Housing Assembly.

By hand, attempt to rotate the actuator in both directions.

Does the actuator turn in either direction?

Yes

>> Replace the Left Blend Door Actuator in accordance with the Service Information.

Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST – VER 1. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE).

>> Go To 3

55–BLEND DOOR LINKAGE BROKEN (MTC) (CONTINUED)

CHECK THE LEFT BLEND DOOR & A/C HEATER HOUSING FOR DISCONNECTED, MISSING, & BROKEN
COMPONENTS

Inspect for disconnected, missing, or broken door linkage. Inspect for a damaged or broken A/C Heater Housing
Assembly and a broken door. Rotate the door from stop to stop. The door should rotate approximately 90 degrees.

Are there any physical or mechanical problems with the door or housing?

Yes

>> Repair as necessary in accordance with the Service Information.

Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST – VER 1. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE).

>> Replace the Left Blend Door Actuator in accordance with the Service Information. Then, Go To 4.

VERIFY THAT THE FAULT IS STILL PRESENT

Turn the ignition on.

Actuate the Clear DTC function by performing the following:

•

Turn the blower control on.

•

Press the A/C mode switch down, turn the blower control to off, wait 5 seconds and then release the A/C mode
switch.

•

Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and turn the ignition on.

Actuate the Actuator Circuit Test / Door Calibration Function by performing the following:

•

Turn the blower control off.

•

Actuate the Display DTC function by performing the following:

•

Turn the blower control on.

•

Press the A/C mode switch down, turn the blower control to off, wait 5 seconds and then release the A/C mode
switch.

Does the A/C status indicator display DTC 55?

Yes

>> Replace the A/C Heater Control in accordance with the Service Information.

Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST – VER 1. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE).

>> Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST – VER 1. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL

Theory of Operation

NOTE: Diagnose and repair Actuator Circuit Test faults (DTC 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 71, and 72)
before diagnosing Overcurrent faults (DTC 41, 42, 43, and 44) and Calibration faults (DTC 18, 21, 22, 23, 24,
25, 45, 46, 47, 48, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56). Diagnose and repair Overcurrent faults (DTC 41, 42, 43, and 44)
before diagnosing Calibration faults (DTC 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 45, 46, 47, 48, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56).

The purpose of actuator calibration is to determine the total span of door travel between physical stops. To calibrate
the actuator, the A/C Heater Control first moves the door to its soft stop, and then counts the number of pulses it
takes to move the door to its other stop. An expected range of span is stored in the control’s memory. If the A/C
Heater Control detects and excessive amount of commutator pulses when calibrating the recirculation door, this
DTC will set.

•

When Monitored:
During actuator calibration.

•

Set Condition:
If the A/C Heater Control detects and excessive amount of commutator pulses when calibrating the recircula-
tion door.
