Code C1712, DTC C1717, DTC C1722 & DTC C1727: Damper Actuator Open Circuit

  1. Perform CVRSS system check. See CVRSS SYSTEM CHECK  . After performing CVRSS system check, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect damper actuator connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance between terminals of damper actuator connector (component side). If resistance is 9.5-15.5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not 9.5-15.5 ohms, go to step 6).
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect 32-pin CVRSS control module connector C3. Check for open in damper ground circuit (Light Blue wire on front; Dark Blue wire on rear). See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Repair as necessary. After repairs, perform CVRSS SYSTEM CHECK  . If circuit is okay, go to next step.
  4. Check for open in damper control circuit (Gray wire on front; Dark Green wire on rear). See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Repair as necessary. After repairs, perform CVRSS SYSTEM CHECK  . If circuit is okay, go to next step.
  5. Check CVRSS control module connector and damper actuator connector for debris and corrosion. Check for intermittent poor electrical connections. Turn ignition off. Reinstall/reconnect all components/connectors. Turn ignition on, with engine off. Clear codes, and then wait 90 seconds. Display codes. If Code C1712, C1717, C1722 or C1727 is set, go to step 7). If Code C1712, C1717, C1722 or C1727 is not set, perform CVRSS SYSTEM CHECK  .
  6. Replace damper actuator. After repairs, perform CVRSS SYSTEM CHECK  .
  7. Turn ignition off. Replace CVRSS control module. Reinstall/reconnect all components/connectors. Install scan tool. Turn ignition on, with engine off. Calibrate NEW CVRSS control module. See CALIBRATING CVRSS CONTROL MODULE  under ADJUSTMENTS. Perform CVRSS SYSTEM CHECK  .
