Signal Too Low






Signal too low

Checking the cable and component
Check the cable between climate control module terminal #A14 and temperature damper motor terminal #2. Check for a short-circuit to ground.

Applies to left-hand drive cars only
Check the cable between climate control module terminal #A12 and air distribution damper motor terminal #6. Check for a short-circuit to ground.

Applies to right-hand drive cars only
Check the cable between climate control module terminal #A12 and air distribution damper motor terminal #2. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
If the cables are OK, try a new damper motor.
Remedy as necessary.

Was a fault detected?

Yes - Self-adjustment of the shutter motor end position

No - Intermittent fault

-------------------------------------------------

Self-adjustment of the shutter motor end position





Self-adjustment of damper motor end positions

Self-adjustment of damper motor end positions. Electronic climate control (ECC), Manual climate control (MCC), Standard (STD)

Note! Self-adjustment must be carried out if the control module or damper motor is replaced or the damper motor or its linkage has been removed. The indication LED on the climate control module panel will flash during adjustment.

Hint: During self-adjustment the control module runs the damper motors to their limit positions. The control module then stores the value returned from the position sensor for the damper motor. The control module is then able to operate the motor betweenthe limit positions during normal operation.




- Start the engine (the generator charges)
- Activate self-adjustment. The self-adjustment takes thirty seconds.

Note! Self-adjustment can only be carried out once in the same ignition cycle. To run the self-adjustment again, switch off the ignition, wait 10 seconds and start the engine again.

The indication LED stops flashing when the self-adjustment is complete.










Continue - FAULT FOUND

FAULT FOUND - Verification

-------------------------------------------------

Verification

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Start the engine. Run it to normal operating temperature
- Start the blower fan
- Slowly turn the temperature selector between the minimum and maximum positions.
Check that the air is hot and cold.
Turn the air distribution selector between its positions.
Check that the air distribution changes for each air damper.
The fault has been remedied if the functions are OK.

Is the function OK?

Yes - FAULT FOUND

No - Fault-tracing information

Fault-tracing 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

Attempt New Test - Checking the cable and component

-------------------------------------------------

Intermittent fault
Check the cable between climate control module terminal #A14 and temperature damper motor terminal #2. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to ground.

Applies to left-hand drive cars only
Check the cable between climate control module terminal #A12 and air distribution damper motor terminal #6. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to ground.

Applies to right-hand drive cars only
Check the cable between climate control module terminal #A12 and air distribution damper motor terminal #2. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to ground.

Information

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
It is possible to view the information again, or leave fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Do you want to view the information again?
