Temperature Control Actuator Repair Procedures

Inspection

1. 1
   Turn the ignition off.
2. 2
   Disconnect the temperature control actuator connector.
3. 3
   Make sure the temperature control actuator operates to the warm (driver side) or cool (passenger side) position when 12 V is applied to terminal 3 and ground terminal 4. Make sure the temperature control actuator operates to the cool (driver side) or warm (passenger side) position when the connections are reversed.

   

   1. - 2. - 3. Warm Position 4. Cool Position

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

4. 4
   Connect the temperature control actuator connector.
5. 5
   Turn the ignition on.
6. 6
   Check the voltage between terminals 6 and 7 (between terminals 5 and 6 on the passenger side). Specification

   Door Position	Voltage (V)	Fault Detection
   Max. Cool	0,3±0,15	Low voltage: 0.1 V or less
   Max. Heat	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 temperature control actuator with a genuine part and check the operation.
8. 8
   Replace the temperature control 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 driver side temperature control actuator (B) after loosening the mounting screws.

   

4. 4
   Install in the reverse order of removal.
5. 5
   Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
6. 6
   Remove the main lower airbag unit. (Refer to Body - "Main Lower Airbag Assembly")
7. 7
   Remove the passenger side air vent duct (A) after loosening the screw.

   

8. 8
   Disconnect the connector (A), then remove the passenger side temperature control actuator (B) after loosening the mounting screws.

   

9. 9
   Install in the reverse order of removal.
