Ignition "OFF"
Disconnect Intake actuator and A/C control unit main harness connector.
Connect (+) terminal of battery to FRE(+) of intake actuator and (-) terminal to REC(-). (Component side)
Verify that the actuator operates to the REC position
Verify that the Air mix actuator(Temperature actuator) operates to the FRE position reversing the connection polarity.( REC(-) and FRE(+)) (Component side)
Specification : Refer the specifications in Fig.1)
Actuator harness  | FRE(+)  | REC(-)  | Door position  | 
Battery terminal  | 12 V  | ground  | FRE  | 
ground  | 12 V  | REC  | 
FIG.1) ※ Function of the actuator motor according to terminal connection type. (observe safety regulations)
Is "Door position" display within specifications?
![]()  | ▶ Go to "Check potentiometer" procedure.  | 
![]()  | ▶ Substitute with a known-good Intake actuator and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace Intake actuator and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.  | 
Ignition "OFF"
Disconnect Intake actuator and A/C control unit main harness connector.
Ignition "ON"(ENGINE "OFF").
Measure voltage between Signal(F/B) terminal of Intake actuator harness connector and chassis ground. (Component side)
Specification : Refer the specifications in Fig.2)
Door position  | Voltage  | 
FRE  | 0.3±0.15V  | 
REC  | 4.7±0.15V  | 
FIG.2) ※ Voltage value of intake potentiometer as a function of intake door position.
Is "voltage" display within specifications?
![]()  | ▶ Check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.  | 
![]()  | ▶ Substitute with a known-good Intake actuator and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace Intake actuator and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.  |
