Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect the temperature control actuator connector.
Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the cool position when connecting 12V to terminal 3 and grounding terminal 7.
Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the warm position when connected in reverse.

Connect the temperature control actuator connector.
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Check the voltage between terminal 6 and 7.
Door position | Voltage (V) | Error detecting |
Max. cooling | 0.3 ± 0.15 | Low voltage : 0.1V or less |
Max. heating | 4.7 ± 0.15 | High voltage : 4.9V or more |
It will feedback the current position of the actuator to the controls.
If the measured voltage is not within specification, substitute with a known-good temperature control actuator and check for proper operation.
Replace the temperature control actuator if it is proved that there is a problem with it.
