If reading is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If reading is 5 ohms or more, repair open in common door driver circuit (Brown/White wire). After repair, go to step  20.
  10. Measure resistance of Dark Green/Yellow wire between in-line connector C203 terminal No. 2 and BCM connector C1 terminal No. 9. See Figure and Figure . If reading is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If reading is 5 ohms or more, repair open in mode door driver circuit (Dark Green/Yellow wire). After repair, go to step  20.
  11. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect all previously disconnect connectors. Clear DTCs stored in memory. Disconnect BCM connector C1. Connect DVOM between chassis ground and BCM connector C1 terminal No. 10 (Brown/White wire). See Figure. Reconnect BCM connector C1. Turn ignition switch to ON position. While observing DVOM display, turn off recirculation switch, turn on panel mode, then turn on recirculation switch. If reading goes above 10 volts, go to next step. If reading remains less than 10 volts, replace BCM. See BODY CONTROL MODULES - CONCORDE, INTREPID, LHS & 300M article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. After repair, go to step  20.
  12. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Clear DTCs stored in memory. Using DVOM connected to chassis ground, backprobe BCM connector C1 terminal No. 9 (Dark Green/Yellow wire). See Figure. Reconnect BCM connector C1. Turn ignition switch to ON position. While monitoring DVOM display, change ATC control panel modes between defrost to panel settings several times. If reading goes above 10 volts, go to next step. If reading remained less than 10 volts, replace BCM. See BODY CONTROL MODULES - CONCORDE, INTREPID, LHS & 300M article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. After repair, go to step  20.

After repair, go to step  20.
  18. Ensure ignition switch is in OFF position. Connect BCM connectors C1 and C2. See Figure. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using scan tool, display MODE DOOR value. While observing scan tool, connect a jumper wire between in-line connector C203 (instrument panel harness side) terminals No. 6 (Pink/Dark Blue wire) and No. 11 (Yellow/White wire). See Figure. If scan tool displays value of about 5 volts, replace mode door actuator. If scan tool does not display value of about 5 volts, replace BCM.

  19. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect BCM connector C2. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using DVOM connected to ground, backprobe 5-volt supply circuit at BCM connector C2 terminal No. 15 (Pink/Dark Blue wire). See Figure. If reading indicates voltage present, repair short to voltage in Pink/Dark Blue wire. If reading indicates no voltage is present, replace BCM. See BODY CONTROL MODULES - CONCORDE, INTREPID, LHS & 300M article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. After either repair, calibrate mode door. After repair, go to next step.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
