B103B

B103B-REAR MODE DOOR CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW (MTC)





For a complete wiring diagram refer to Diagrams/Electrical.

Theory of Operation

The A/C Heater Control drives the Rear Mode Door Actuator via the (C53) Rear Mode Door Driver circuit and the (C154) Rear Common Door Driver circuit. Both of the rear door actuators share the (C154) Rear 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 same time 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 (C53) Rear Mode Door Driver circuit is shorted to ground.





Diagnostic Test

1.CHECK (C53) REAR MODE DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND





Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.

Measure the resistance of the (C53) Rear Mode Door Driver circuit between ground and the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.

Is the resistance below 10k ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (C53) Rear Mode Door Driver circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

No

- Go To 2

2.CHECK (C154) REAR COMMON DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND





Measure the resistance of the (C154) Rear Common Door Driver circuit between ground and the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.

Is the resistance below 10k ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (C154) Rear Common Door Driver circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

No

- Go To 3

3.CHECK (C53) REAR MODE DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO OTHER DOOR DRIVER CIRCUITS





Measure the resistance between the (C53) Rear Mode Door Driver circuit and the (C61) Front Blend Door Driver circuit, the (C29) Mode Door 1 Driver circuit, the (C801) Mode Door 2 Driver circuit, the (C32) Recirculation Door Driver circuit, the (C54) Rear Blend Door Driver circuit, and the (C34) Front Common Door Driver circuit in the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms between the (C53) Rear Mode Door Driver circuit and any of the other door driver circuits?

Yes

- Repair the circuit(s) with a resistance below 100 ohms for a short to the (C53) Rear Mode Door Driver circuit.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

No

- Go To 4

4.CHECK (C154) REAR COMMON DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO OTHER DOOR DRIVER CIRCUITS





Measure the resistance between the (C154) Rear Common Door Driver circuit and the (C61) Front Blend Door Driver circuit, the (C29) Mode Door 1 Driver circuit, the (C801) Mode Door 2 Driver circuit, the (C32) Recirculation Door Driver circuit, and the (C34) Front Common Door Driver circuit in the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms between the (C154) Rear Common Door Driver circuit and any of the other door driver circuits?

Yes

- Repair the circuit(s) with a resistance below 100 ohms for a short to the (C154) Rear Common Door Driver circuit.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

No

- Go To 5

5.CHECK REAR MODE DOOR ACTUATOR CIRCUIT RESISTANCE





Measure the resistance between the (C53) Rear Mode Door Driver circuit and the (C154) Rear Common Door Driver circuit in the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.

Is the resistance below 30 ohms?

Yes

- Go To 6

No

- Go To 7

6.CHECK (C53) REAR MODE DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO (C154) REAR COMMON DOOR DRIVER CIRCUIT





Disconnect the Rear Mode Door Actuator harness connector.

Measure the resistance between the (C53) Rear Mode Door Driver circuit and the (C154) Rear Common Door Driver circuit in the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (C53) Rear Mode Door Driver circuit for a short to the (C154) Rear Common Door Driver circuit.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

No

- Replace the Rear Mode Door Actuator.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

7.RUN THE ACTUATOR DTC DETECTION TEST

Reconnect the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.

Turn the ignition on.

With the scan tool, erase HVAC DTCs.

Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and then turn the ignition on.

With the scan tool, select System Tests and then select Actuator DTC Detection. When the test is complete, select View DTCs.

Does the scan tool only display: B103B-REAR MODE DOOR CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW?

Yes

- Replace the A/C Heater Control.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

No, Other DTC(s) Displayed

- Diagnose and repair the other DTC(s). If multiple DTCs are present, beginning with the common circuits, diagnose and repair all short high DTCs and then all short low DTCs.

No, And No Other DTCs Displayed

- Using the wiring diagram as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors for conditions causing an intermittent short. Repair as necessary.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test
