Circuit Description
The auxiliary mode actuator is an electronic device that incorporates a stepper motor and a feedback potentiometer. The HVAC control module determines the position of the auxiliary mode actuator that is based on the voltage from the potentiometer. When the keep alive RAM memory, the battery positive voltage circuit, of the HVAC control module is interrupted, the module will calibrate the actuators. The HVAC control module performs a travel range comparison of the determined values of the actuator to the calibrated values within the HVAC control module. If the determined range does not equal the calibrated expected range, the actuator will be considered not calibrated, and the DTC will set. The HVAC control module will also perform a continuous test on the current feedback value. If the feedback value does not fall within the calibrated range, the DTC will set.
