Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Dodge Magnum, 2008 Dodge Charger, and 2008 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. RUN THE ACTUATOR CIRCUIT TEST / DOOR CALIBRATION FUNCTION & THEN CHECK FOR ACTUATOR CIRCUIT TEST FAULTS 
    NOTE: Diagnose and repair Actuator Circuit Test faults (DTC 61, 62, 63, 64, 67, 68, 69, 71, and 72) before diagnosing Overcurrent faults (DTC 41, 43, and 44).

    Turn the ignition on.

    Actuate the Clear DTC function by performing the following:

    • Turn the blower control on.
    • Press the A/C mode switch down, turn the blower control to off, wait until both LEDs illuminate (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the A/C mode switch.
    • When the A/C status indicator begins displaying DTCs, set the Mode switch to the floor position, simultaneously press the A/C mode switch and the EBL mode switch down until both LEDs start flashing (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the mode switches. Stored DTCs will clear from memory in approximately two seconds.

    Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and turn the ignition on.

    Actuate the Actuator Circuit Test / Door Calibration Function by performing the following:

    • Turn the blower control off.
    • Press and hold the EBL mode switch down and then turn the blower control on. Continue to hold the EBL mode switch down until the EBL status indicator begins flashing. Then, release the EBL mode switch. While the test / function is running, the EBL status indicator will flash once per second. If the test / function passes, the EBL status indicator will stop flashing. If the test / function fails, the A/C and EBL status indicators will flash alternately. Allow the test / function to run to completion before proceeding.

    Actuate the Display DTC function by performing the following:

    • Turn the blower control on.
    • Press the A/C mode switch down, turn the blower control to off, wait until both LEDs illuminate (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the A/C mode switch.
    NOTE: The A/C status indicator displays active DTCs when the EBL status indictor is not illuminated and stored DTCs when the EBL status indicator is illuminated.

    Read DTCs from the A/C status indictor.
