CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The air inlet 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 airflow is being recirculated, the voltage is low. When outside air is being admitted, voltage is high. The heater and A/C programmer controls the air inlet door motor to position the air inlet door in either the recirc or the fresh air positions as selected by the vehicle occupants.

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 0.78 V (40 counts) will be used for the sensor data by the heater and A/C programmer.
^ The air inlet door will be set to the outside air position.

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 and Poor Connections.

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.
