2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 air condition

B1040–PANEL MODE DOOR 1 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

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.
With the scan tool, select System Tests and then select Actuator DTC Detection. When the test is complete, select
View DTCs.
Repair, Dual-Zone System
Diagnose and repair the DTC(s). If multiple DTCs are present, beginning with the passenger blend door,
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.
Repair, Single-Zone System
Diagnose and repair the DTC(s). If multiple DTCs are present, beginning with the common circuit, diag-
nose and repair all short high DTCs and then all short low DTCs. Refer to the Table of Contents in this
Section for a complete list of HVAC related symptoms.

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
NOTE: If present, diagnose and repair DTC B10AB Right Blend

cuit Low before proceeding.
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.
