Checking the Damper Motor Control (Electronic Climate Control / Manual Climate Control)
Checking the damper motor control (Electronic climate control / Manual climate control)
Query
Which type of climate control is the car equipped with?
1. Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
2. Manual climate control (MCC) / Standard (STD)
Select one of the above alternatives.
1 - Checking the damper motor signal
2 - Checking the damper motor control
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the damper motor signal
- Ignition on.
- Blower fan on.
- Activate the damper motors using the controls and buttons.
Read off the positions for the different damper motors. The values listed below should be seen as guidelines for the positions which the damper motors should reach.
- Temperature damper motor right / left and defroster, 0 - 100%.
- Recirculation damper motor, 40 - 100%.
- Floor / ventilation damper motor, floor only approximately 39%, vent only approximately 87%, both floor and vent approximately 71%.
Are the positions OK?
Yes - Checking the matrix voltage
No - Replacing the climate control module
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the matrix voltage
- Ignition off.
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Ignition on.
Activate the damper motors and listen to hear whether the motors move.
Hint: If none of the motors move, one or more power cables are disconnected.
Remedy as necessary.
Other information:
- To access / replace the climate control module, see Dashboard environment panel (including climate control module (CCM)), replacing Dashboard Environment Panel (including Climate Control Module (CCM)), Replacing.
- To access / replace the damper motors, see Damper motor temperature, replacing Damper Motor, Temperature, Replacing , Damper motor, recirculation, replacing Damper Motor, Recirculation, Replacing and Damper motor, defroster, replacing Damper Motor, Defroster, Replacing.
Was a fault detected?
Yes - Self-adjustment
No - Checking components and wiring
-------------------------------------------------
Checking components and wiring
Note! The check covers one or more affected damper motors. The damper motor(s) affected by this fault-tracing should be apparent from previous checks.
Check the damper motor(s) resistance in the coil(s). For resistance values, see Component resistance values [1][2]Electrical Specifications.
Check the linkage and damper / shutter for wear and check that it is not sticking.
Select Continue
Continue - Self-adjustment
-------------------------------------------------
Replacing the climate control module
Replace the climate control module according to Dashboard environment panel (including climate control module (CCM)), replacing Dashboard Environment Panel (including Climate Control Module (CCM)), Replacing.
Continue - Self-adjustment
-------------------------------------------------
Self-adjustment
Hint: After replacing the control module or damper motor, and when a damper motor or link has been removed, carry out self adjustment to define the damper motor limit positions.
- Ignition off.
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on.
Activate self adjustment.
Continue - Verification
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the damper motor control
- Ignition on.
- Blower fan on.
- Activate the damper motors using the controls and buttons.
Read off the positions for the different damper motors. The values listed below should be seen as guidelines for the positions which the damper motors should reach.
- Left and right temperature damper motors, 0 - 100%.
- Recirculation damper motor, 40 - 100%.
- Air distribution knob, 0 - 100%.

-------------------------------------------------
Verification
Hint: After the repair it is necessary to check that the fault has been rectified.
- Ignition off.
- Connect the connectors, install the components, etc.
- Ignition on.
- Blower motor on.
Check that damper motor position changes by changing control on climate control module (CCM). The values given below are the standard values that the damper motor positions should give.
Note! Blower motor must be in operation to activate the damper motors.
- Left/right temperature damper motor and defroster, 0-100%
- Recirculation damper motor, 40-100%
- Floor/ventilation damper motor, floor only approximately 39%, ventilation only approximately 87% and floor/ventilation approximately 71%.
Does damper motor work?
Yes - Procedure complete
No - Information

Information
Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
Yes - Exit Fault-Tracing
No - Attempt New Test
