DTC 10: An Open or Short in the Mode Control Motor Circuit

1. Disconnect the mode control motor 10P connector.
2. Disconnect the climate control unit 30P connector.




3. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and check for continuity between following terminals of the climate control unit 30P connector and the mode control motor 10P connector.

Is there continuity?

YES - Check for loose wires or poor connections at the climate control unit 30P connector and at the mode control motor 10P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good climate control unit, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original climate control unit.

NO - Go to step 4.




4. Check for continuity between body ground and the climate control unit 30P connector terminals No.2, 11, 12, 13, 14,22 and 23 individually.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair any short to body ground in the wire(s) between the climate control unit and the mode control motor.

NO - Go to step 5.




5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check the same terminals for voltage.

Is there any voltage?

YES - Repair any short to power in the wire(s) between the climate control unit and the mode control motor. This short also damages the climate control unit. Repair the short to power before replacing the climate control unit.

NO - Repair any open in the wire(s) between the climate control unit and the mode control motor.
