Theory of Operation
The A/C Heater Control drives the Mode Door 1 (Panel to Floor) Actuator via the (C29) Mode Door 1 Driver circuit
and the (C34) Common Door Driver circuit. All of the door actuators share 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 the sametime for multiple actuators depending
upon the type of short, its location, and the direction the actuator is moving when the short is present.
When Monitored:
When the Actuator DTC Detection Test is executed.
Set Condition:
If the (C29) Mode Door 1 Driver circuit is shorted to ground.
Possible Causes
(C29) MODE DOOR 1 DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
(C29) MODE DOOR 1 DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORTED TO OTHER DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT(S)
MODE DOOR 1 (PANEL TO FLOOR) ACTUATOR
A/C HEATER CONTROL
Diagnostic Test
1.CHECK (C29) MODE DOOR 1 DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the (C29) Mode Door 1 Driver circuit
between ground and the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.

5.RUN THE ACTUATOR DTC DETECTION TEST
Reconnect the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, erase HVAC DTCs.
With the scan tool, select System Tests and then select Actuator DTC Detection. When the test is complete, select
View DTCs.
Does the scan tool only display: B1041–PANEL MODE DOOR 1 CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW?
Ye s>>
Replace the A/C Heater Control in accordance with the Service Information.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST – VER 1. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
No, Other DTC(s) Displayed
Diagnose and repair the other DTC(s). If multiple DTCs are present, beginning with the common circuit,
diagnose and repair all short high DTCs and then all short low DTCs. Refer tothe Table of Contents in
this Section for a complete list of HVAC related symptoms.
No, And No Other DTCs Displayed
Using the wiring diagram as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors for conditions causing an inter-
mittent short. Repair as necessary.
