DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

B1030-11-EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR - CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

Diagram
Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
THEORY OF OPERATION
The Evaporator Temperature Sensor is a variable resistor that changes in conjunction with temperature, or
otherwise known as a thermistor. The Evaporator Temperature Sensor is located in the HVAC housing
downstream of the A/C evaporator. The HVAC Module monitors the evaporator temperature by monitoring the
voltage change of the Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit. If the monitored voltage drops below or
rises above a predetermined voltage, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set. For further information, refer
to SENSOR, EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE, OPERATION .
WHEN MONITORED

This diagnostic runs continuously when the ignition is on.
SET CONDITIONS
The HVAC Module detects less than 0.09 volts on the Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit for
two seconds or more.
DEFAULT ACTIONS:
If the HVAC Module detects a valid voltage, the DTC will change from active to stored and will stay
stored for 100 ignition cycles.

B1058-11-RECIRCULATION DOOR CONTROL CIRCUIT - SHORT TO GROUND

Fig. 3: Blend Door, Mode Door & Recirculation Door Actuators Wiring Diagram
THEORY OF OPERATION
After the initial installation of the A/C Heater Module, the controller is calibrated to each individual blend/mode
door actuator. These calibrations are stored as in the number of pulses it takes to move the door from one stop to
another. The A/C Heater Module drives the Door Actuators by the use of Door Driver circuit and a Common
Door Driver circuit and monitors all door actuator pulses to detect door movement in both directions. Most of
the door actuators share a common door driver circuit but each door actuator has its own unique driver circuit.
Due to shared circuitry, similar Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can set at the same time for multiple
actuators depending upon the type of circuit malfunction, its location, and the direction the actuator is moving
when the malfunction is present. For further information, refer to DESCRIPTION .
WHEN MONITORED
Continuously with the ignition on.

SET CONDITION
The A/C Heater Module detects a short to ground on the Recirculation Door Driver circuit. If the A/C Heater
Module detects a valid current draw, the DTC will change from Active to Stored and will stay in the controllers
memory for 100 ignition cycles.

B1107-11-CABIN TEMPERATURE SENSOR 1 - CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND

Fig. 9: Powertrain Control, Power Distribution Center & Transmission Solenoid Wiring Diagram
THEORY OF OPERATION
The HVAC Module uses a variety of sensors to adjust HVAC operation to obtain optimal performance. These
sensors are continuously monitored by the HVAC Module to assure that they are in range. An active Diagnostic
trouble Code (DTC) indicates that a sensor is out of range. A stored DTC indicates that the sensor was out of
range but is currently within range.
The Cabin Temperature Sensor uses a temperature thermistor which changes in its resistive value with
differences in air temperature of the interior cabin. Air is drawn from the passenger compartment by an
aspirator (small fan driven by a 12-volt electric motor) which circulates air over the temperature thermistor. The
HVAC Module receives the resistance value over a two wire circuit that is used to calculate the temperature and
make any adjustments to maintain the optimum passenger compartment comfort. The Cabin Temperature
Sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.
WHEN MONITORED

Ignition on.
SET CONDITIONS
When the Cabin Temperature Sensor signal to the HVAC Module is less than 0.5 volt for a continuous
period of 1200 msec. or more.

B1107-12-CABIN TEMPERATURE SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT-SHORT TO BATTERY

Fig. 10: Powertrain Control, Power Distribution Center & Transmission Solenoid Wiring Diagram
THEORY OF OPERATION
The HVAC A/C Heater Module uses a variety of sensors to adjust HVAC operation to obtain optimal
performance. These sensors are continuously monitored by the A/C Heater Module to assure that they are in
range. An active Diagnostic trouble Code (DTC) indicates that a sensor is out of range. A stored DTC indicates
that the sensor was out of range but is currently within range.
The In-Car Temperature Sensor uses a temperature thermistor which changes in its resistive value with
differences in air temperature of the interior cabin. Air is drawn from the passenger compartment by an
aspirator (small fan driven by a 12-volt electric motor) which circulates air over the temperature thermistor. The
A/C Heater Module receives the resistance value over a two wire circuit that is used to calculate the temperature
and make any adjustments to maintain the optimum passenger compartment comfort. The In-Car Temperature
Sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.

8. Start and run the engine for two minutes while operating all functions of the system that caused the
original concern.

9. With the scan tool, check for DTCs in all modules.
Is the original condition still present or are there any other HVAC DTCs present?
Yes
No
Repair is complete.
HVAC PRE-DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
Perform the following steps prior to any diagnostic procedure(s).
Testing should only be performed with the battery fully charged to avoid false diagnosis.
With the scan tool, read Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If PCM
DTCs are present, and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure(s) before proceeding. Refer to the
DTC INDEX - 2500 HD & 3500 HD article.
Depending on the vehicle configuration, with the scan tool, read Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs. If
BCM DTCs are present, and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure(s) before proceeding. Refer to
the BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX - 2500 HD & 3500 HD
article.
With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs. Record all Stored, Active, and Pending DTC information.
With the scan tool, read the Environmental Data. Use this data to help identify the conditions in which the
DTC was set.
Refer to the When Monitored and Set Conditions for this DTC. DTCs can set at ignition on, at start up, or
operating under specific conditions.
Using the wiring diagram as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors related to this circuit and
clean/repair as necessary.
Check for controller software updates if applicable. Some conditions can be corrected by upgrading the
controller software.
NOTE: If the controller is updated with new software, with the scan tool, perform a
HVAC Actuator Calibration Test.
Check for Service Information Tune-ups or Service Bulletins for any possible causes that may apply.
Did any of the above procedures repair the vehicle?
Yes

Testing is complete.
No
