Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.
Manuals through 2025 now available!

Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

Normal Operation
Under normal operation, to rotate the mode door actuator clockwise, the EATC module supplies voltage to the auxiliary temperature door actuator through the circuit 1376 (BK/LB), and supplies ground through circuit 1375 (PK/YE). To rotate the auxiliary temperature door actuator counterclockwise, the EATC module reverses the voltage and ground circuits.

The auxiliary temperature door actuator feedback resistor is supplied a ground from the EATC module through circuit 1377 (TN/LG) and a 5-volt reference voltage on circuit 1381 (WH/LB). The EATC module reads the voltage on the auxiliary temperature door actuator feedback circuit 1378 (GY/WH) to determine the auxiliary temperature door actuator position by the position of the actuator feedback resistor wiper arm.

Possible Causes
- An open, short to voltage, ground or together in circuits 1376 (BK/LB), 1375 (PK/YE), 1377 (TN/LG), 1381 (WH/LB) and 1378 (GY/WH)
- Auxiliary temperature door actuator
- EATC module
- Stuck or bound linkage or door
