Pinpoint Test E : The Air Inlet Door Is Inoperative: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Refer to Automatic Climate Control System for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

Air inlet door actuator, REFER to: Climate Control System - Vehicles With: Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) - System Operation and Component Description

During an actuator calibration cycle, the HVAC control module drives the air inlet door until the door reaches both internal stops in the HVAC case. If the air inlet door is temporarily obstructed or binding during a calibration cycle, the HVAC control module may interpret this as the actual end of travel for the door. When this condition occurs and the HVAC control module commands the actuator to its end of travel, the air intake may not be from the expected source.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC	Description	Fault Trigger Conditions
B1083:00	Recirculation Damper Motor: No Sub Type Information	This DTC sets when the HVAC control module senses a short to voltage, a short to ground, or an open when motor movement is commanded.
