Calibration must be performed after repair/replacement is completed. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Go To 3 |
All |
| 3 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Body Control Module C2 harness connector. Measure the resistance between Sensor Ground and each of the Door Driver circuits (Blend, Mode, Recirc, & Common). Is the resistance below 10K ohms on any of the circuits? Yes --> Repair all Door Driver circuits with a resistance below 10K ohms for a short to Sensor Ground. Calibration must be performed after repair/replacement is completed. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Go To 4 |
All |
| 4 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Body Control Module C2 harness connector. Measure the resistance between the Blend Door Driver circuit and the Mode Door Driver circuit, and the Recirc Door Driver circuit in the BCM C2 harness connector. Measure the resistance between the Mode Door Driver circuit and the Recirc Door Driver circuit in the BCM C2 harness connector. Is the resistance below 10K ohms on any of the circuits? Yes --> Repair all door driver circuits with a resistance below 10K ohms for short together. Calibration must be performed after repair/replacement is completed. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Go To 5 |
All |
| 5 | Turn the ignition off. Reconnect the Body Control Module C2 harness connector. Turn the ignition on. With the DRBIII®, record and erase Body Computer DTC's. Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the C200 in-line connector (HVAC) located in the center of the instrument panel above the accelerator pedal. Start the engine. With the DRBIII® in Miscellaneous, actuate Calibrate HVAC Door Motors. With the DRBIII®, read the Body Computer DTCs. Does the DRBIII® display: XXXX Door Output Short To Ground? Yes --> Go To 6 No --> Go To 7 |
All |
| 6 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the C200 in-line connector (HVAC) located in the center of the instrument panel above the accelerator pedal. Disconnect the Body Control Module C2 harness connector. Measure the resistance between the Common Door Driver circuit and the Blend Door Driver circuit, the Mode Door Driver circuit, and the Recirc Door Driver circuit in the BCM C2 harness connector. Is the resistance below 10K ohms on any of the circuits? Yes --> Repair all door driver circuits with a resistance below 10K ohms for short to the Common Door Driver circuit. Calibration must be performed after repair/replacement is completed. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Replace and program the Body Control Module in accordance with the Service Information. Calibration must be performed after repair/replacement is completed. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 7 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the C200 in-line connector (HVAC) located in the center of the instrument panel above the accelerator pedal. Disconnect the Mode Door Actuator harness connector. Measure the resistance between the Common Door Driver circuit and the Mode Door Driver circuit. Is the resistance below 10K ohms? Yes --> Repair the Mode Door Driver circuit for a short to the Common Door Driver circuit. Calibration must be performed after repair/replacement is completed. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Go To 8 |
All |
| 8 | Turn the ignition off Ensure the Body Control Module C2 harness connector is connected. Reconnect the C200 in-line connector (HVAC) located in the center of the instrument panel above the accelerator pedal. Disconnect the Mode Door Actuator harness connector. Turn the ignition on. With the DRBIII®, record and erase Body Computer DTC's. Cycle the ignition switch. Start the engine. With the DRBIII® in Miscellaneous, actuate Calibrate HVAC Door Motors. With the DRBIII®, read the Body Computer DTCs. Does the DRBIII® display: XXXX Door Output Short To Ground? Yes --> Go To 9 No --> Replace the Mode Door Actuator in accordance with the Service Information. Calibration must be performed after repair/replacement is completed. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 9 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the C200 in-line connector (HVAC) located in the center of the instrument panel above the accelerator pedal. Disconnect the Blend Door Actuator harness connector. Measure the resistance between the Common Door Driver circuit and the Blend Door Driver circuit. Is the resistance below 10K ohms? Yes --> Repair the Blend Door Driver circuit for a short to the Common Door Driver circuit. Calibration must be performed after repair/replacement is completed. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Go To 10 |
All |
| 10 | Turn the ignition off Ensure the Body Control Module C2 harness connector is connected. Reconnect the C200 in-line connector (HVAC) located in the center of the instrument panel above the accelerator pedal. Disconnect the Blend Door Actuator harness connector. Turn the ignition on. With the DRBIII®, record and erase Body Computer DTC's. Cycle the ignition switch. Start the engine. With the DRBIII® in Miscellaneous, actuate Calibrate HVAC Door Motors. With the DRBIII®, read the Body Computer DTCs. Does the DRBIII® display: XXXX Door Output Short To Ground? Yes --> Go To 11 No --> Replace the Blend Door Actuator in accordance with the Service Information. Calibration must be performed after repair/replacement is completed. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 11 | Disconnect the C200 in-line connector (HVAC) located in the center of the instrument panel above the accelerator pedal. Disconnect the Recirculation Door Actuator harness connector. Measure the resistance between the Recirculation Door Driver circuit and the Common Door Driver circuit. Is the resistance below 10K ohms? Yes --> Repair the Recirculation Door Driver circuit for a short to the Common Door Driver circuit. Calibration must be performed after repair/replacement is completed. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Replace the Recirculation Door Actuator in accordance with the Service Information. Calibration must be performed after repair/replacement is completed. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 12 | Turn the ignition off.
NOTE:
Visually inspect the related wiring harness and circuits. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
NOTE:
Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
