  1. Problem verification

    - 1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode then the ON mode.

    - 3. Do the Self-Diagnostic Function with the HDS or the HVAC control unit.

    - 4. Wait for at least 8 seconds.

    - 5. Check for DTCs.

    Is DTC B1245 or 4 indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure. Check for loose wires or poor connections on the rear air mix control motor circuit.

  2. Determine possible failure area (SENSOR 5V line, others)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Rear air mix control motor 7P connector

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode

    Is there about 5 V?

    YES 

    The SENSOR 5V wire is OK. Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Go to step 6.

  3. Rear air mix control motor check (AMDP RR line)

    - 1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
    Rear air mix control motor 7P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Rear air mix control motor 7P connector No. 2
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there about 5 V?

    YES 

    The AMDP RR wire is OK. Replace the rear air mix control motor .

    NO 

    Go to step 4.

  4. Shorted wire check (AMDP RR line)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    HVAC control unit connector C (12P)

    - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    HVAC control unit connector C (12P): disconnected
    Rear air mix control motor 7P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 HVAC control unit connector C (12P) No. 6
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short to body ground in the wire between the HVAC control unit and the rear air mix control motor.

    NO 

    The AMDP RR wire is not shorted. Go to step 5.

  5. Shorted wire check (AMDP RR line to SENSOR(COM) line)

    - 1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    HVAC control unit connector C (12P): disconnected
    Rear air mix control motor 7P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Rear air mix control motor 7P connector No. 1
    Test point 2 Rear air mix control motor 7P connector No. 2

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short in the wires between the HVAC control unit and the rear air mix control motor.

    NO 

    The AMDP RR wire to SENSOR(COM) wire are OK. Replace the HVAC control unit .

  6. Open wire check (SENSOR 5V line)

    - 1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
    Rear air mix control motor 7P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 HVAC control unit connector A (32P) No. 5
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there about 5 V?

    YES 

    Repair an open in the wire between the HVAC control unit and the rear air mix control motor.

    NO 

    The SENSOR 5V wire is not open. Go to step 7.

  7. Shorted wire check (SENSOR 5V line)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    HVAC control unit connector A (32P)

    - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    HVAC control unit connector A (32P): disconnected
    Rear air mix control motor 7P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 HVAC control unit connector A (32P) No. 5
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short to body ground in the wire between the HVAC control unit and the rear air mix control motor.

    NO 

    The SENSOR 5V wire is OK. Replace the HVAC control unit .
