Starting The Actuator Circuit Test / Door Calibration Function - MTC System

NOTE: By running the Actuator Circuit Test / Door Calibration Function, the A/C-Heater Control can identify up to three door driver circuits shorted simultaneously. A DTC 72 will set if more than three door driver circuits are shorted in the same direction (e.g. four door driver circuits all shorted to ground) or if two or more door driver circuits are shorted with at least one door driver circuit shorted to ignition and one door driver circuit shorted to ground. To ensure a proper diagnosis, diagnose and repair Actuator Circuit Test faults in the following order: If present, diagnose and repair DTC 72 first, then DTC 62, then DTC 61, then DTCs 64, 66, 68, or 71, and finally DTCs 63, 65, 67, or 69. In addition, always test the door driver circuits after each repair by clearing DTCs, and then running the Actuator Circuit Test / Door Calibration Function, and then checking for DTCs

To start the Actuator Circuit Test / Door Calibration function for the MTC system, perform the following:

NOTE: An active DTC 34 will prevent the control from performing certain diagnostic functions and it will prevent proper EBL mode switch and status indicator function. If this occurs, diagnose and repair DTC 34 before running the Actuator Circuit Test / Door Calibration function. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/HVAC - Diagnosis and Testing .
  1. Turn the ignition to the On position.
  2. Turn the blower motor control (1) to the Off position.
  3. Press and hold the EBL mode switch (2) down and then turn the blower motor control on. Continue to hold the EBL mode switch down until the EBL status indicator begins flashing. Then, release the 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. However, if the test / function fails, the A/C and EBL status indicators will flash alternately. Faults detected will display when checking for DTCs in the A/C-heater control.
