System malfunction location

• Airflow mode actuator motor lock

Detection condition

• Airflow mode actuator motor lock

Fail-safe

Malfunction determined when ignition switched ON

• Airflow mode actuator drive signal is stopped right when the malfunction is determined.

Malfunction already exists when ignition switched ON

• Nine seconds after the ignition is switched ON, the airflow mode actuator drive signal is output normally again. Afterwards, motor output is stopped during malfunction determination.

Possible cause

• Connector or terminal malfunction

• Airflow mode actuator malfunction

• A/C unit (airflow mode link and airflow mode crank) malfunction

• Open circuit in wiring harness between climate control unit and airflow mode actuator

• Short to ground in wiring harness between climate control unit and airflow mode actuator

• Climate control unit malfunction

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

• Switch the ignition off.

• Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)

• Disconnect the airflow mode actuator connector. (See AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)

• Inspect the connector and terminals (corrosion, damage, pin disconnection).

• Are the connector and terminals normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair/replace the connector or terminal.

After repair procedure, go to the next step.

2

• Disconnect the airflow mode actuator connector.

• Apply battery positive voltage and connect the ground to the airflow mode actuator terminals F and D, and then inspect the airflow mode actuator.

• Does the airflow mode actuator operate?

Yes

Connect the connector, then go to Step 4.

No

Go to the next step.

3

• Remove the airflow mode actuator.

• Operate the airflow mode main link manually.

• Does the airflow mode main link operate smoothly?

Yes

Replace the airflow mode actuator.

(See AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the airflow mode main link, airflow mode sub link, and the airflow mode crank.

Go to the next step.

4

• Disconnect the climate control unit connector. (See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)

• Apply battery positive voltage and connect the ground to the climate control unit connector terminals P and N, and then inspect the airflow mode actuator.

• Does the airflow mode actuator operate?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between climate control unit terminal and airflow mode actuator terminal.

If there is a common connector:

• Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit or short to ground.

• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:

• Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit or short to ground.

Go to the next step.

5

• Inspect the connector and terminals (corrosion, damage, pin disconnection).

• Are the connector and terminals normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair/replace the malfunctioning vehicle wiring harness, connector, or terminal.

After repair procedure, go to the next step.

6

• Reconnect the disconnected connectors.

• Connect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)

• Clear the past malfunction from memory.

• Verify DTCs.

• Is DTC B1086:71 output?

Yes

Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

• If the malfunction does not recur, go to the next step.

• If the malfunction recurs, replace the climate control unit. (See CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)

Go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

7

• Verify other DTCs displayed.

• Are any other DTCs output?

Yes

Perform the corresponding DTC inspection.

No

DTC troubleshooting completed.
