Air Door Actuator / Motor: Testing and Inspection
Actuator Calibration/Diagnostics and Cool Down Test
When required, calibration is completed with the scan tool, or calibration can be completed as part of the on board diagnostics.
Scan Tool Calibration
The calibration procedure is referenced in the diagnostic charts in various places. For example the ATC diagnostics test 15A flow chart lines 2 and 3
reference calibrating the Blend Door. Test 19A lines 3 and 4 references calibrating the Mode Door. See:
Manual Calibration
ATC only:
Entering Self-Diagnostic Mode
To place the system into it's diagnostic mode, press and hold the Floor, Mix and Defrost buttons (at the same time). The ATC head display will begin
to blink. Release the Floor, Mix and Defrost buttons. Once the control head enters the diagnostic mode, the display on the control head will continue
to blink.
This occurs until it completes its tests and climate control unit door/actuator calibrations.
MTC Only:
The trouble codes can be checked with the Manual A/C control and the Odometer Display of the Mechanical Instrument Cluster of a DRB scan tool is
not available. The Manual A/C Control Head can only be placed into the diagnostic mode while the engine is running and the vehicle is not moving.
To place the system into it's diagnostic mode, adjust the Manual A/C Control to the following settings:
1. The engine must be running with vehicle not moving.
2. The Fan Speed set to any speed except OFF.
3. The Temperature Knob in full cold (full counterclockwise position).
4. The mode knob must be placed in defrost position (full clockwise position).
5. The A/C button can be ON or OFF.
Manual A/C Control Head
6. Press and hold the Rear Defrost button until the Mechanical Instrument Cluster Odometer display indicates an "ACOO". The body control module
(BCM) will chime once and the Manual A/C control A/C button LED will begin blinking.
7. Release the Rear Defrost button and wait until the Manual A/C Control A/C button LED stops blinking.
This means that the error check and climate control unit door calibration is complete.
