Intake Actuator Repair Procedures

Inspection

1. 1
   Turn the ignition off.
2. 2
   Disconnect the intake actuator connector.
3. 3
   Check that the intake actuator operates to the home position when 12 V is applied to terminal 3 and terminal 4 is grounded. Check that the intake actuator moves to the recirculation position when the connections are reversed.

   

   1. - 2. - 3. Fresh Air 4. Sensor (+5V)

   5. Feedback Signal 6. Sensor Ground 7. Recirculation Air

4. 4
   Connect the intake actuator connector.
5. 5
   Turn the ignition on.
6. 6
   Check the voltage between terminals 6 and 5. Specification

   Door Position	Voltage (V)	Fault Detection
   Fresh Air	0,3±0,15	Low voltage: 0.1 V or less
   Recirculation	4,7±0,15	High voltage: 4.9 V or more

   
   It will report the current actuator position to the controls.
7. 7
   If the intake actuator does not operate properly, replace it with a genuine intake actuator and check for proper operation.
8. 8
   Replace the intake actuator if it is determined to be faulty.

Replacement

1. 1
   Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
2. 2
   Remove the glove box upper cover. (Refer to Body - "Driver Airbag Lower Assembly")
3. 3
   Remove the side garnish on the passenger side (A).

   

4. 4
   Disconnect the connector (A), then remove the intake actuator (B) after loosening the mounting screws.

   

5. 5
   Install in the reverse order of removal.
