2011 Honda Pilot EX
~100,000 Miles
Issue: HOT AIR Blowing from both the front and rear vents with A/C turned on
(meaning only hot air will blow out of both the front and rear)
Using Blue Driver OBDII Scanner
Check engine light is NOT on
But...the Scanner did find this error:
B1245 AMD(Rr) motor Potentiometer Shorted
- A short in the rear air mix control motor circuit
- Frequently Reported Fix: Replaced A/C Control Switch
1. When Blue Driver says "Replace A/C Control Switch" - I don't think I found an A/C Control switch and the link to Amazon was not directing me to the part.
I saw someone had asked a similar question in January of this year - but I'm not sure this is the answer i'm looking for:
- "This code is related to BCM and I assume it did not not trick the check engine light to come on. It's basically related to the rear temperature controls. Do you have issues with the rear temperature control? If so, check the actuator for the blend door, and if you do not have issues, just ignore it"
Can you take a look at this question again and make some recommendations?
Thanks Community.
For my experience with those if they don't work the actuator is gone bad but it really takes someone with a dealer level scan tool to do bi-directional testing as it can be the computer controller to the actuators or the actuators themselves
Thank you for the quick response Scotty!
Have a great day
Hi Everyone
I heard back that the issue/root cause is the
Compressor Clutch Relay
Thank you Scotty and Community for your help and guidance.
I'm glad to be a small part of this community that is so helpful for all a part of it.
Cheers
@scottykilmer @kerfaffle - Guys, sometimes a casual follow up post from a couple of years ago saves all humanity. Or at least fixes the A/C on a 2010 pilot about to head out for 7 days, 6 teenage boys, and 100 degree temps. AI had nothing, BlueDriver rabbit holes, your proper post title was my exact search phrase. You’re pros.
This post is almost four years old. Rather than “hijacking” someone else’s post, please make a new post with your vehicle’s information, issue you’re experiencing, and steps you have taken to attempt to remedy the issue. Thanks.
@fishingandcarsenthusiast123 relax, it's just a thank you post. Their problem is solved thanks to this topic. I'd appreciate if you left the moderating to the moderators. Thanks.
