CHECK FOR CORRECT RH TEMPERATURE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR OPERATION
1. Disconnect and inspect the RH temperature blend door actuator connector.
2. Repair:
  - corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
  - damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
  - pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
3. Reconnect the RH temperature blend door actuator connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.
4. Reconnect the HVAC module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
5. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes: INSTALL a new RH Temperature Blend Door Actuator, REFER to Temperature Blend Door Actuator - RH . TEST the system for normal operation. If the concern is still present, GO to 15 .
- No: The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
MODULE ACTUATOR POSITION CALIBRATION
NOTE: The purpose of the module actuator position calibration is to allow the HVAC module to reinitialize and calibrate the actuator stop points.
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect and inspect all HVAC module connectors.
3. Repair:
  - corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
  - damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
  - pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
4. Reconnect the HVAC module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
5. Clear the DTCs .
6. Using a scan tool, perform HVAC Module self-test.
7. Select any position except OFF
8. NOTE: The HVAC module initializes and calibrates the actuators. Calibration of the actuators will take approximately 30 seconds.
  
  Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes: CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new HVAC module. REFER to Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) Module .
- No: The system is now operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a foreign object in the HVAC case or temporary binding that restricted actuator door travel. CHECK any actuator external linkage. If condition recurs, INSPECT actuator linkage and door for binding and CHECK HVAC case for foreign objects.
