The diagnostic trouble code B1622 refers to a lock condition in the mode door actuator. The mode door actuator is a component in the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system that controls the direction of airflow inside the vehicle.

Here are some possible causes and solutions for this issue:

1. Faulty mode door actuator: The mode door actuator itself may be faulty or stuck in a locked position. In this case, the actuator should be inspected and replaced if necessary. Consult the vehicle’s service manual or a professional mechanic for the exact location and replacement procedure of the mode door actuator.
2. Wiring or connector problems: Inspect the wiring harness and connectors associated with the mode door actuator. Look for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires, loose connections, or corrosion. Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors as needed.
3. Mechanical obstruction: Check if there is any obstruction or blockage preventing the mode door from moving freely. Inspect the mode door mechanism and related components for any debris, physical obstructions, or binding. Remove any obstructions and ensure smooth operation of the mode door.
4. Check the HVAC control module: The issue may be related to the HVAC control module that sends signals to the mode door actuator. A malfunctioning control module can result in the lock condition. Consult a professional mechanic or dealership to perform further diagnostics and potentially reprogram or replace the HVAC control module if necessary.
5. Perform recalibration: In some cases, performing a recalibration procedure for the HVAC system may help resolve the lock condition. This procedure typically involves following specific steps outlined in the vehicle’s service manual or provided by the manufacturer. Recalibration procedures may vary, so it is best to consult a professional mechanic or dealership for guidance.

It is important to note that these are general suggestions, and the specific diagnostic and repair procedures may vary depending on the make, model, and year of your vehicle. If you are unsure or uncomfortable performing these steps yourself, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified mechanic or dealership. They will have the necessary expertise and tools to accurately diagnose and resolve the lock condition in the mode door actuator.
