2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 battery

B104C–BLEND DOOR CONTROL CIRCUIT/PERFORMANCE (SINGLE-ZONE)
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:
With the ignition on.
Set Condition:
If the A/C Heater Control detects a short on any of the door driver circuits while attempting to drive this actua-
tor. 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
NOTE:TheDTCmustbeactivefortheresultsofthistesttobevalid.Donotperform this test if the DTC is
stored. Refer to HVAC System Test for stored DTC test procedures.
Diagnostic Test
1.RUN THE ACTUATOR DTC DETECTION TEST
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool in HVAC, erase DTCs.
Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and then turn the ignition on.

The blend door actuators are diagnosed using a scan tool (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING and to 24 - HVAC Electrical Diagnostics for more information).
The blend door actuators cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be replaced.
REMOVAL
WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering
wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the
battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before
performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to
take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deploymentand possible personal injury or
death.
