Ignition "OFF"
Disconnect Passenger Temperature Actuator(Air mix potentiometer) and A/C control Module main harness connector.
Connect (+) terminal of battery to WARM(+) of Passenger Temperature Actuator(Air mix potentiometer) and (-) terminal to COOL(-) .(Component side)
Verify that the temperature actuator operates to the WARM position.
Verify that the temperature actuator operates to the COOL position with reverse connecting.(COOL(+) and WARM(-) ) .(Component side)
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 "Door position" display near the specified value?
![]() | ▶ Go to "Check potentiometer" procedure. |
![]() | ▶ Substitute with a known-good Passenger Temperature Actuator(Air mix potentiometer) and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace Passenger Temperature Actuator(Air mix potentiometer) and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure. |
Ignition "OFF"
Connect Passenger Temperature Actuator(Air mix potentiometer) and A/C control Module main harness connector.
Ignition "ON"
Measure voltage between Signal(F/B) terminal of Passenger Temperature Actuator(Air mix potentiometer) 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 |
Fig.2) ※ Voltage value of Passenger Temperature Actuator(Air mix potentiometer) as a function of temp door position.
Is "voltage" display near the specified value?
![]() | ▶ 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 Passenger Temperature Actuator(Air mix potentiometer) and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace Passenger Temperature Actuator(Air mix potentiometer) and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure. |
