Ignition "OFF"
Disconnect driver Air Mix actuator and A/C control module main harness connector.
Connect (+) terminal of battery to WARM(+) of driver Air Mix actuator and (-) terminal to COOL(-) .(Component side)
Verify that the temperature actuator operates to the cool position.
Verify that the temperature actuator operates to the warm position with reverse connecting.( WARM(+) and COOL(-) ) .(Component side)
Check for proper operation when BATT(12V) power is supplied and follow safety regulations.
Specification : Refer the specifications in Fig.1)
Actuator harness | WARM(+) | COOL(-) | Door position |
Battery terminal | 12 V | ground | Max.warm |
ground | 12 V | Max.cool |
Fig.1) Function of the actuator motor according to terminal connection type. (observe safety regulations)
Is measured value within specification?
![]() | ▶ Perform following procedures. |
![]() | ▶ Substitute with a known-good passenger driver Air Mix actuator and check for proper operation. ▶ If the problem is corrected, replace passenger driver Air Mix actuator and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure. |
Ignition "OFF"
Connect Driver Air Mix Potentiometer(actuator) and A/C control module main harness connector.
Ignition "ON"
Measure voltage between Signal(F/B) terminal of driver Air Mix Potentiometer(actuator) harness connector and Sensor ground(-) terminal of A/C control module harness connector .(Component side)
Specification : Refer the specifications in Fig.2)
Door position | Voltage |
Max. cool | 0.3±0.15V |
Max. warm | 4.7±0.15V |
