- 6) RUN THE ACTUATOR DTC DETECTION TEST
Reconnect the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.
Reconnect the Rear Mode Door Actuator harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, erase HVAC DTCs.
Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and then turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, select System Tests and then select Actuator DTC Detection. When the test is complete, select View DTCs.
Does the scan tool only display: B109C-PANEL MODE DOOR 2 CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW?
Yes
- Replace the A/C Heater Control in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No, Other DTC(s) Displayed
- Diagnose and repair the other DTC(s). If multiple DTCs are present, diagnose and repair all short high DTCs before diagnosing short low DTCs. Refer to the DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX for a complete list of all HVAC related symptoms.
No, And No Other DTCs Displayed
- Using the wiring diagram as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors for conditions causing an intermittent short. Repair as necessary.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
