VERIFY correct front defrost and MAX A/C operation. If operation is
correct, INSTALL a new remote climate control module. If operation
is not correct, INSTALL a new ICP.
Test Step Result / Action to Take
A1 CHECK THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR CLOCKWISE OPERATION
Disconnect: Remote Climate Control Module C228.
Ignition ON.
Connect a fused jumper wire between RCC module C228 pin 21, circuit 249 (DB/LG) and RCC module C228 pin
11, circuit 729 (RD/WH). Connect a second fused jumper wire between RCC module C228 pin 22, circuit 250
(OG) and RCC module C228 pin 8, circuit 570 (BK/YE).
Does the actuator motor move in the clockwise direction?
Yes
GO to A2.
No
GO to A3.
A2 CHECK THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR COUNTERCLOCKWISE OPERATION
Connect a fused jumper wire between RCC module C228 pin 22, circuit 250 (OG) and RCC module C228 pin
11, circuit 729 (RD/WH). Connect a second fused jumper wire between RCC module C228 pin 21, circuit 249
(DB/LG) and RCC module C228 pin 8, circuit 570 (BK/YE).
Does the air bypass door actuator motor move in the closed direction?
Yes
GO to A9.
No
GO to A3.
A3 CHECK THE ACTUATOR CLOCKWISE OPERATION
Remove the door actuator and disengage the actuator drive shaft from the actuator door. Refer to Section 412-
04.
Yes
INSPECT for binding or broken door or linkage. If no
