Causes
- Faulty air outlet (mode) actuator motor or internal gearbox
- Damaged or seized air outlet door linkage or mechanical obstruction
- Faulty position sensor (potentiometer) inside actuator or bad feedback signal
- Open, shorted or corroded wiring or connector to the actuator
- Blown fuse or HVAC control module fault/software issue
- Recent HVAC work or physical impact that misaligned door or stops
Symptoms
- Incorrect vent selection (airflow directed to wrong outlet)
- One or more vents stuck in a single position or not responding
- Audible clicking or grinding from dash when changing mode
- DTC B1067 stored in body/HVAC control module
- HVAC mode switch commands not producing expected door movement
What to check
- Verify stored DTCs and freeze-frame data with a diagnostic scanner
- Operate HVAC mode changes while listening/observing actuator movement
- Inspect fuses related to HVAC and replace if blown
- Visually inspect actuator connector for corrosion, damage or loose pins
- Manually move vent doors (with ignition off) to check for binding or obstructions
- Check battery/ignition voltage at actuator connector while commanding movement
Signal parameters
- Actuator supply: battery voltage (~12 V) present at motor supply when commanded
- Position/feedback sensor: output typically 0–5 V range (varies with position)
- Control signal type: motor drive or PWM from HVAC control module (frequency varies by model)
- Expected resistance: actuator motor windings normally show continuity (low ohms); open = fault
- No PWM or stuck voltage on feedback indicates sensor or wiring problem
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a capable scan tool, read and record B1067 and any related HVAC codes; note conditions when code set.
- With ignition ON, command HVAC mode changes and observe which vent doors move and listen for actuator noise; note any that do not respond or click.
- Visually inspect the actuator and linkage for physical damage, ice, debris or binding; attempt to move door manually to confirm free movement.
- Inspect actuator connector and wiring harness for corrosion, damage, or poor contact; repair any damaged wiring or terminals.
- Backprobe actuator connector while commanding movement: verify battery voltage supply appears when motor should drive and measure position sensor output changes as door moves.
- If position feedback is fixed or out of expected range, remove actuator and bench-test/replace actuator or sensor assembly as per service manual.
- If actuator bench-tests OK, check for intermittent wiring or control module outputs; inspect HVAC control module connections and grounds.
- After repair or replacement, clear DTCs and perform actuator/door calibration or HVAC self-learn procedure if required by the manufacturer.
- Re-test HVAC operation through full range and confirm code does not return; if intermittent, perform wiggle tests on harnesses and re-check.
Likely causes
- Worn or failed air outlet actuator (most common)
- HVAC vent door binding or obstructed by debris
- Poor connector contact or chafed wiring causing intermittent signal
- Position sensor inside actuator out of calibration or failed
- HVAC control unit calibration or software error
Fault status
Status
