Common Door Driver circuit. The Mode Door Actuator shares the (C154) Common Door Driver circuit with 
the blend door and Recirculation Door Actuators. 

When Monitored: 

With the ignition on. 

Set Condition: 

If the A/C Heater Control detects a short to ground or to voltage on the (C32) Recirculation Door Driver, 
the (C54) Blend Door Driver, or the (C154) Common Door Driver circuits while attempting to drive the 
(C35) Mode Door Driver. 

Diagnostic Test 

1) ACTIVE DTC(S) PRESENT 

Turn the ignition on. 

Using the A/C Heater Control, actuate the Mode Door. 

With the scan tool, check for DTCs. 

Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?  

Yes

The condition that caused this symptom is currently not present. Check for an intermittent 
condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken 
wires. Also, inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or 
contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.  

Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .  

2) CHECK (C32) RECIRCULATION DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

Turn the ignition off. 

Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector. 

Turn the ignition on. 

Measure the voltage of the (C32) Recirculation Door Driver circuit in the A/C Heater Control C1 harness 
connector. 

Is there any voltage present?  

Yes  

Repair the (C32) Recirculation Door Driver circuit for a short to voltage.  

Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .  

No
