  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the HTR/DEF/AC door motor.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Measure the voltage from the ignition positive voltage circuit of the HTR/DEF/AC door motor to a good ground.

Does the voltage measure near the specified value?

B+

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the heater and A/C programmer.
  3. Test the control circuit of the HTR/DEF/AC door motor for a short to ground, a short to voltage, or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Connect the heater and A/C programmer.
  3. Connect the HTR/DEF/AC door motor.
  4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  5. With a scan tool, observe the HTR/DEF/AC Dr Actual data parameter in the Heating and Air Conditioning HVAC Door Positions data list.
  6. Connect a 3 amp fused jumper wire between the control circuit of the HTR/DEF/AC door motor and battery voltage (drives the motor to AC).
  7. Connect the control circuit of the HTR/DEF/AC door motor to chassis ground (drives the motor to DEF).

Does the drive shaft of the HTR/DEF/AC door motor rotate and do the counts change?

--

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 10

6

  1. Measure the voltage from the control circuit of the HTR/DEF/AC door motor to a good ground.
  2. With a scan tool, command the HTR/DEF/AC Dr from Defrost to A/C.

Does the voltage measure near the specified value when airflow moves toward AC, near the specified value when airflow moves toward DEF, and near the specified value when stationary?

5 V toward A/C

0 V toward DEF

2.5 V stationary

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 9
