Mode Control Actuator Repair Procedures

Inspection

1. 1
   Turn the ignition off.
2. 2
   Disconnect the mode control actuator connector.
3. 3
   Make sure the mode control actuator moves to the defrost position when 12 V is applied to terminal 3 and ground terminal 4. Make sure the mode control actuator moves to the vent position when the connections are reversed.

   

   1. - 2. - 3. Defrost Mode 4. Vent Mode

   5. Sensor Ground 6. Feedback Signal 7. Sensor (+5V)

4. 4
   Connect the mode control 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
   vent	0,3±0,15	Low voltage: 0.1 V or less
   Defrost	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 measured voltage does not meet the specification, replace the mode actuator with a genuine part and check the operation.
8. 8
   Replace the mode actuator if it is determined to be faulty.

Replacement

1. 1
   Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
2. 2
   Remove the main crash pad. (Refer to Body - "Crash Pad")
3. 3
   Disconnect the connector (A), then remove the mode control actuator (B) after loosening the mounting screws.

   

4. 4
   Install in the reverse order of removal.
