2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 air condition

Theory of Operation
The A/C Heater Control drives the Mode Door 2 (Defrost to Floor) Actuator viathe(C801)ModeDoor2Driver
circuit and the (C34) Common Door Driver circuit. All of the door actuatorsshare the (C34) Common Door Driver
circuit. Inside the A/C Heater Control, each door actuator has its own unique driver, but all share a single common
door driver circuit. Due to the shared circuitry similar DTCs can set at thesame time for multiple actuators depend-
ing upon the location of the open circuit and the direction the actuator is moving when the open is present.
When Monitored:
During actuator calibration.
Set Condition:
If the Mode Door 2 (Defrost to Floor) Actuator’s electrical circuit is open. This DTC has a maturing time of 5
seconds and a de-maturing time of 10 seconds. If the DTC’s status changes from active to stored it will stay
in memory for 100 ignition cycles.
Possible Causes
(C801) MODE DOOR 2 DRIVER CIRCUIT OPEN
(C34) COMMON DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT OPEN
MODE DOOR 2 (DEFROST TO FLOOR) ACTUATOR
A/C HEATER CONTROL
NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid. Do not perform this test if this DTC
is stored. Refer to HVAC System Test for stored DTC test procedures.

B1050–BLEND DOOR TRAVEL RANGE TOO SMALL (SINGLE-ZONE)
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
Theory of Operation
The A/C Heater Control calibrates each actuator individually. Automaticcalibration occurs upon power up after
installing a new A/C Heater Control. Manual calibration occurs by sendinga command with the scan tool. The pur-
pose of actuator calibration is to determine the total span of door travel between physical stops. To calibrate the
actuator, the A/C Heater Control first moves the door to an end stop, and then counts the number of pulses it takes
to move the door to its other stop. An expected range of span is stored in the control’s memory. If the measured
calibration value is less than the expected range for this actuator, this DTC will set. Note thatthe control clears all
stored calibration faults at the beginning of the calibration procedure.
When Monitored:
During actuator calibration.
Set Condition:
If the total span of the Blend Door is less than the low range limit.

B1058–RECIRCULATION DOOR CONTROL CIRCUIT/PERFORMANCE
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
Theory of Operation
The A/C Heater Control monitors the door driver circuits during actuator operation for shorts to ground, shorts to
battery, and shorts to other door driver circuits. If detected, the A/C Heater Control reports these types of faults as
Control Circuit/Performance DTCs. It is important to note that Control Circuit/Performance DTCs do not indicate
where or what type of short is present and that additional system testing isnecessary to provide more details about
the reported fault.
When Monitored:
When actuator movement is requested.
Set Condition:
If the A/C Heater Control detects an excessive current draw on any of the door driver circuits while attempting
to drive this actuator. This DTC has a maturing time of 5 seconds and a de-maturing time of 10 seconds. If the
DTC’s status changes from active to stored it will stay in memory for 100 ignition cycles.
Possible Causes
DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT(S) SHORTED
