Yes | INSTALL a new air inlet door actuator. REFER to: Air Inlet Door Actuator (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Removal and Installation). TEST the system for normal operation. If the concern is still present, GO to D5 | |
|---|---|---|
No | REPAIR the circuit. | |
D5 CHECK FOR CORRECT FRONT CONTROLS INTERFACE MODULE OPERATION
Disconnect and inspect all FCIM connectors. Repair:
corrosion (install new connector or terminals – clean module pins) damaged or bent pins – install new terminals/pins pushed-out pins – install new pins as necessary
Reconnect all FCIM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes | CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new FCIM. Refer to the appropriate section in Group 415 for the procedure. | |
|---|---|---|
No | The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues. | |
Incorrect Or Erratic Direction Of Airflow From Outlets
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 54 for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
To rotate the air distribution door actuator, the FCIM supplies voltage and ground to the air distribution door actuator through the door actuator motor circuits. To reverse the air distribution door actuator rotation, the FCIM reverses the voltage and ground circuits. The air distribution door actuator feedback resistors are supplied a ground from the FCIM by the air distribution door actuator return circuits and a 5-volt reference voltage on the air distribution door actuator reference circuits. The FCIM uses the actuator feedback resistor wiper arm position and the voltage on the air distribution door actuator feedback circuits to determine the air distribution door actuator position.
During an actuator calibration cycle, the FCIM drives the air distribution door until the door reaches both internal stops in the FCIM case. If the air distribution door is temporarily obstructed or binding during a calibration cycle, the FCIM may interpret this as the actual end of travel for the door. When this condition occurs and the FCIM commands the actuator to its end of travel, the airflow may not be from the expected outlets.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
B1086:11 | Air Distribution Damper Motor: Circuit Short to Ground | This DTC sets when the module senses lower than expected voltage on an actuator motor circuit when voltage is applied to drive the motor, indicating a short to ground. The motor can move only in one direction. |
