The Air mix actuator(Temperature actuator) located at heater unit. It contains temp motor that changes temp door position and potentiometer that monitors position of temp door. The Air mix actuator(Temperature actuator) regulates the temperature by the procedure as follows. Signal from control unit adjusts position of temp door by operating temp motor and then temperature will be regulated by the hot/cold air ratio decided by position of temp door. In operation, potentiometer delivers temp door position transformed into voltage value to A/C ECU .
The ECM sets DTC B1266 if there is an open circuit or poor connection in the DR Direction(FLOOR) actuator signal harness.
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible Cause |
DTC Strategy | ● Voltage check | ● Poor connection of connected part ● Open circuit in harness ● Short circuit in harness ● Faulty DR Direction(FLOOR) actuator |
Threshold value | ●＜0.1V | |
Detecting time | ● 0.3sec | |
FAIL SAFE | ● Setting mode : VENT Fix at VENT position ● Setting mode : Except VENT Fix at DEF position |
※ Voltage value of Air Mix potentiometer as a function of temp door position.
Door position | Voltage | Error Detecting Condition |
VENT | 0.3±0.15V | Undervoltage : 0.10V or less |
DEF | 4.7±0.15V | Overvoltage : 4.92V or more |
