DODGE RAM SRT-10 2006 Service Repair Manual

Theory of Operation
The A/C Heater Control drives the Left Blend Door Actuator via the (C61) Blend Door Driver circuit and the (C34)
Common Door Driver circuit. All of the door actuators share the (C34) Common Door Driver circuit. Inside the A/C
Heater Control, each door actuator has its own unique driver, but all sharea 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 (C61) Blend Door Driver circuit is shorted to ground.

B10A6–LEFT BLEND DOOR TRAVEL RANGE TOO SMALL (DUAL-ZONE)
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
Theory of Operation
The A/C Heater Control calibrates each actuator individually. Automaticcalibration occurs upon power up after
installing a new A/C Heater Control. Manual calibration occurs by sendinga command with the scan tool. The pur-
pose of actuator calibration is to determine the total span of door travel between physical stops. To calibrate the
actuator, the A/C Heater Control first moves the door to an end stop, and then counts the number of pulses it takes
to move the door to its other stop. An expected range of span is stored in the control’s memory. If the measured
calibration value is less than the expected range for this actuator, this DTC will set. Note thatthe control clears all
stored calibration faults at the beginning of the calibration procedure.
When Monitored:
During actuator calibration.
Set Condition:
If the total span of the Left Blend Door is less than the low range limit.
Possible Causes
DOOR DRIVER ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT(S)
LEFT BLEND DOOR SEIZED, BINDING, OBSTRUCTED
