B2A2C14

DTC B2A2C14 indicates a drive circuit fault in the front passenger side temperature blend door actuator (hot/cold motor), specifically a short to ground (abnormal connection to vehicle ground causing overcurrent) or an open circuit (circuit interruption, infinite resistance) — Seal 6 EV

Thermal Management System

DTC B2A2C14 indicates a drive circuit fault in the front passenger side temperature blend door actuator (hot/cold motor), specifically a short to ground (abnormal connection to vehicle ground causing overcurrent) or an open circuit (circuit interruption, infinite resistance).

The integrated Body Control Module (BCM) controls this motor via a PWM signal or stepper drive to adjust the front passenger side hot/cold air mixing ratio, enabling dual-zone climate control.

The BCM sets this DTC upon detecting abnormal motor drive current (excessive or zero), an abnormal position feedback signal, or a LIN communication fault.

This fault prevents front passenger side temperature adjustment (sticking in the cold or hot position).

In severe cases, the BCM may enter protection mode, limiting overall air conditioning system functionality and potentially affecting the thermal management system's control of battery or motor temperatures.

Deformed fuse holder pin caused loose connection to passenger side temperature control motor

2018 Qin PRO DM. The customer reported the air conditioning operated only in face-vent mode with no ability to adjust temperature or airflow modes; the passenger side showed no temperature change. VDS read DTCs B2A2A14 (mode motor short to ground), B2A2C14 (passenger temperature control motor short to ground), and B2A2C92 (temperature control motor position not reached). Initial inspection revealed an aftermarket GPS unit tapping power from AC fuse IF03. After removing the added harness and replacing the fuse, the fault remained. Further measurement showed unstable supply voltage to the temperature control motor. Investigation found the fuse holder pins had spread from the use of a wider fuse blade during the GPS installation, causing poor contact. Technicians adjusted the fuse holder pin gap to restore clamping force, eliminating the fault.

Wiring harness chafed against steering column causing short to earth.

A 2019 BYD Song MAX came in with an intermittent fault: the passenger-side AC temperature would not adjust while driving, working normally at times and failing completely at others. DTC B2A2C14 stored. The fault appeared intermittently during inspection. Removed the glove box and checked the passenger-side temperature blend motor. The connector had no backed-out pins, but measured abnormal voltage drop on the supply. Traced the wiring and found a retaining clip near the evaporator housing had detached, allowing the harness to chafe against the steering column over time. This wore through the insulation on the passenger-side temperature motor supply wire, causing an intermittent short to ground. Repaired the damaged wiring, re-insulated the harness, and secured the routing to prevent further interference. Fault resolved.

Stuck air flap mechanism damaged the motor gear and set a short circuit fault.

A 2017 Qin EV300 developed inoperative passenger-side vent temperature adjustment with the AC on, accompanied by distinct clicking. VDS showed DTCs B2A2C14 and B2A2C92 (temperature blend motor unable to reach position). Removing the passenger-side heater box revealed the temperature blend motor gear mechanism severely worn and seized. Manual actuation of the blend door linkage showed extreme resistance, with corrosion on the door shaft. Mechanical binding of the blend door caused continuous motor stall, excessive current draw triggering the short-to-ground protection (B2A2C14), while gear slippage created the clicking noise. Cleaned and lubricated the blend door linkage, replaced the passenger-side temperature blend motor assembly, and performed blend door position calibration. Temperature regulation returned to normal.
