Air door (damper) stuck or open circuit detected
From Tech Sheet W12100950, p.42:
1.Perform resistance checks on the air door motor (approx. 8450 ohms); verify proper wire connections to the air door motor and control board.
2.Measure door lock assembly resistance across the PTC terminals. Expected: ~200 ohms cold, rising sharply once energized.
3.Inspect strike and latch alignment. A warped door or misaligned strike prevents the switch stack from closing in the correct sequence.
