2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 air condition

Theory of Operation
The A/C Heater Control drives the Passenger Blend Door Actuator via the (C33) Passenger Blend Door Driver cir-
cuit 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 thesame time for multiple actuators depend-
ing 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 (C33) Passenger Blend Door Driver circuit is shorted to ground.
Possible Causes
(C33) PASSENGER BLEND DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
(C33) PASSENGER BLEND DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORTED TO OTHER DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT(S)

B10AD–RIGHT BLEND DOOR TRAVEL RANGE TOO SMALL (DUAL-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 Right Blend Door is less than the low range limit.
Possible Causes
DOOR DRIVER ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT(S)
RIGHT BLEND DOOR SEIZED, BINDING, OBSTRUCTED
