Code 4 - Air Mix Door Error
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Suzuki Verona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This code will set if the output of the mix door indicator indicates that the door opening angle is out of range or does not change value when the door should be moving. This would indicate a short circuit or an open in the sensor or the associated wiring harness, a door motor that is not operating, or a malfunction of the ATC controller.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
| Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Does the measured resistance indicate an open or a shorted condition? |
Open = ≈ Ω, Short = ≈ 0 Ω | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 2 |
| 2 | Measure the resistance between terminals 2 and 3 on the AMD motor. Is the resistance equal to the value specified? |
≈ 3,000 Ω | Go to Step 3 | Go to Step 4 |
| 3 | Measure the resistance between terminals 6 and 2, and between terminals 6 and 3 on the AMD motor. Do these resistances add to approximately the value measured between terminals 2 and 3? |
≈ 3,000 Ω | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 4 |
| 4 | Replace the AMD motor. Is the repair complete? |
- | System OK | - |
| 5 | Check the connector terminals at the AMD motor and the wiring in the ATC harness. Is there a problem with any terminal on either the harness connector or the motor connector, or the wiring? |
- | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 7 |
| 6 | Repair the problem found with a connector terminal or the wiring, or replace the motor as required. Is the repair complete? |
- | System OK | - |
| 7 |
Is there a problem with any of these connectors or the wiring? |
- | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 9 |
| 8 | Repair the problem found with a connector terminal or wiring. Is the repair complete? |
- | System OK | - |
| 9 | Check continuity in the harness between the controller connectors and the AMD motor connector.
Does the continuity equal the specified value? |
≈ 0 Ω | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 11 |
| 10 | Repair the continuity problem. Is the repair complete? |
- | System OK | - |
| 11 |
Is the voltage equal to the specified value? |
< 4 V | Go to Step 12 | Go to Step 14 |
| 12 |
Does the voltage equal the specified value? |
Drops from 12 - 0 V | Go to Step 13 | Go to Step 15 |
| 13 |
Does the voltage equal the specified value? |
Drops from 12 - 0 V | Go to Step 20 | Go to Step 15 |
| 14 |
Is the repair complete? |
- | System OK | - |
| 15 | Recheck all wiring circuits between the controller and the AMD motor. Is there a problem in the wiring or the connectors? |
- | Go to Step 16 | Go to Step 17 |
| 16 | Repair the problem in the wiring between the ATC controller and the AMD motor. Is the repair complete? |
- | System OK | - |
| 17 | Recheck the AMD motor. Is there a problem in the AMD motor? |
- | Go to Step 18 | Go to Step 19 |
| 18 | Replace the AMD motor. Is the repair complete? |
- | System OK | - |
| 19 | Replace the controller. Is the repair complete? |
- | System OK | - |
| 20 | Observe the operation of the air mix door when the temperature setting is changed. Does the door move normally? |
- | Go to Step 22 | Go to Step 21 |
| 21 | Repair or replace the air mix door. Is the repair complete? |
- | System OK | - |
| 22 | Observe the operation of the AMD motor when the temperature setting is changed. Does the motor operate normally? |
- | Go to Step 24 | Go to Step 23 |
| 23 | Replace the AMD motor. Is the repair complete? |
- | System OK | - |
| 24 | Reconnect everything and test the system. Does code 4 reset? |
- | Go to Step 25 | System OK |
| 25 | Replace the controller. Is the repair complete? |
- | System OK | - |
