3. This step checks for a default action by the actuator. The actuator will default to 128 counts if the air temperature door position circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to voltage. It will also default to this value if the low reference circuit or the 5 volt reference circuit is open.

4. Tests for the air temperature actuator operating within its specified range.

5. Tests the air temperature actuator ground circuit for an open.

6. Tests the air temperature actuator 5 volt reference circuit for a short to ground, short to voltage, or an open.

7. Tests the air temperature door position signal circuit for an open, high resistance, short to ground, or short to voltage.
