System malfunction location

• B1C1C:11: Airflow mode actuator (potentiometer) circuit short to ground

• B1C1C:13: Airflow mode actuator (potentiometer) circuit open

Detection condition

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

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

• Control based on ambient temperature.

Possible cause

• Connector or terminal malfunction

• Airflow mode actuator malfunction

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

• Short to power supply 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

• Inspect the airflow mode actuator.

  (See AIRFLOW MODE ACTUATOR INSPECTION [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER].)

• Is it normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the airflow mode actuator.

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

Go to the next step.

3

• Disconnect the climate control unit connector and the airflow mode actuator connector.

• Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):

• Climate control unit terminal G—airflow mode actuator terminal B

• Climate control unit terminal J—airflow mode actuator terminal C

• Climate control unit terminal K—airflow mode actuator terminal A

• Is there continuity?

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 air mix 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.

• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:

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

Go to the next step.

4

• Inspect for continuity between the following terminal (wiring harness-side) and body ground:

• Climate control unit terminal J

• Is there continuity?

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between climate control unit terminal and air mix 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 a short to ground.

• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:

• Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

Go to the next step.

No

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 B1C1C:11, B1C1C:13 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.
