DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 12—IN-CAR
TEMPERATURE SENSOR/ASPIRATOR
FAILURE
(1) Disconnect 21-way connector at control. With
an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between pin
#20 and pin #7. Refer to Temperature Refer-
ence—Diagnostic Trouble Code 11 chart for electrical
values.
(2) Check for continuity between pin #20 and
chassis ground. If continuity is present, repair and
retest.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 13—BLEND
DOOR FAILED TO DRIVE TO HEAT POSITION
(1) Check door and linkage for binding.
(2) Disconnect 21-way connector from control head
and the 5-way connector from the blend air door ac-
tuator. Check continuity between pin #6 of the 21-
way connector and pin #5 of the 5-way connector. If
continuity is shown, go to step 3. If continuity is not
shown, repair circuit for an open circuit and retest
system.
(3) Plug in the 5-way connector and check for re-
sistance between pins #4 and #6 of the 21-way con-
nector. A resistance of 20-50 ohms should be present.
If not, replace actuator. If correct, proceed to step 4.
(4) If steps 1 and 2 indicate no failures, replace the
ATC control head.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 14—BLEND
DOOR FAILED TO DRIVE TO COLD POSITION
First check the 5-way connector to the blend
air door actuator for proper connection
(1) Check door and linkage for binding.
(2) Remove the 21-way connector from the control.
With ignition ON, check for ignition voltage between
pin #8 of the 21-way connector and chassis ground.
If voltage is present, repair circuit for short to igni-
tion voltage. If voltage is not present, proceed to step
3.
(3) Turn ignition OFF. With the 21-way still re-
moved, disconnect the 5-way connector from the
blend air door actuator. Check for continuity between
pin #8 of the 21-way connector and pin #1 of the
5-way connector. If continuity is not present, repair
open circuit. If present, continue to step 4.
(4) Install the 5-way connector back into the blend
air door actuator and check for continuity between
the pins #7 and #8 of the 21-way connector. If con-
tinuity is present, replace the ATC control. If conti-
nuity is not present, replace the blend air door
actuator.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 15—BLEND
DOOR FEEDBACK SHORTED TO GROUND
(1) Remove the 21-way connector from the control
and the 5-way connector from the blend air door ac-
tuator.
(2) Check for continuity between pin #8 of the 21-
way connector and chassis ground. If present, repair
circuit for short to ground. If not present, continue to
step 3.
(3) Plug in the 5-way connector and measure resis-
tance between pins #7 and #8 of the 21-way connec-
tor. If the resistance is less than 10 ohms, replace the
actuator. If not, replace the control head.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 16—MODE
DOOR MOVED DURING BLEND DOOR TEST
(1) Remove the 21-way connector from the control
and the 5-way connector from the three actuators.
(2) Check for continuity between pin #4 of the 21-
way connector and pin #4 of each actuator. If conti-
nuity is not present for a particular actuator circuit,
repair that circuit and retest system. If continuity is
present for all circuits, continue to step 3.
(3) Plug in the 5-way connectors and check for re-
sistance between pins #4 and #6 of the 21-way con-
nector for the blend air actuator. Then check pins #4
and #5 of the 21-way for the mode actuator. The re-
sistance should be between 20-50 ohms. If either of
the actuators do not pass the resistance tests, replace
that particular actuator and retest the system. If
both pass the resistance test, replace the ATC con-
trol.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 17—MODE
DOOR FAILED TO DRIVE TO DEFROST
(1) Disconnect 21-way connector from control head
and the 5-way connector from the blend air door ac-
tuator. Check continuity between pin #5 of the 21-
way connector and pin #5 of the 5-way connector. If
continuity is present, proceed to step 2. If continuity
is not present, repair open circuit and retest system.
(2) Plug in the 5-way connector and check for re-
sistance between pins #4 and #5 of the 21-way con-
nector. A resistance of 20-50 ohms should be present.
If not, replace actuator. If correct, proceed to step 3.
(3) If steps 1 and 2 do not indicate any failures, re-
place the ATC control head.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 18—MODE
DOOR FAILED TO DRIVE TO PANEL
Check the 5-way connector to the mode door
actuator for proper installation.
(1) Check the door and linkage for binding.
(2) Remove the 21-way connector from the control.
With ignition ON, check for ignition voltage between
pin #16 of the 21-way connector and chassis ground.
If voltage is present, repair circuit for short to igni-
tion voltage. If voltage is not present, proceed to step
3.
(3) Turn ignition OFF. With the 21-way connector
still removed, disconnect the 5-way connector from
the mode door actuator. Check for continuity be-
tween pin #16 of the 21-way connector, and pin #1
