B1341

DTC 1341 Air Mix Door #2 Movement Fault






Circuit Description

The right temp door motor is an electronic actuator stepper motor with a feedback potentiometer. The heater and A/C programmer determines the position of the door motor based on the voltage from the potentiometer. When the air flow is cool (heater core bypass), the voltage is low. When the airflow is warm (through the heater core), the voltage is high. The heater and A/C programmer controls the right temp door motor position to maintain the air temperature selected by the passenger.

Conditions for Running the DTC

- The ignition is turned ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

- The heater and A/C programmer detects the signal circuit is less than 0.09 V (5 counts) or greater than 4.90 V (250 counts).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

- A default value of 2.50 V (128 counts) will be used for the sensor data by the heater and A/C programmer.
- The heater and A/C programmer will toggle the actuator between full hot and full cool in an attempt to maintain the temperature selected by the passenger.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

- The DTC will become history if the heater and A/C programmer no longer detects a failure.
- The history DTC will clear after 50 fault free ignition cycles.
- The DTC can be cleared with a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

- A disconnected or broken door may also set this DTC by allowing the actuator to travel to its internal stops (overtravel condition).
- Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections, General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

4. Tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the high voltage range.
5. Tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the low voltage range. If the fuse in the jumper opens when you perform this test, the signal circuit is shorted to voltage.
6. Tests for a short to ground in the 5 volt reference circuit.
