Description and Operation

Description

The heater unit includes the mode control actuator and the temperature control actuator. The temperature control actuator is located on the heater unit. It controls the temperature as follows. A signal from the control unit adjusts the position of the temperature door by controlling the temperature actuator. The temperature is then regulated by the hot/cold air ratio determined by the position of the temperature door.

Repair Procedures

Inspection

  1. Turn the ignition off.
  2. Disconnect the temperature control actuator connector.
  3. Make sure the temperature control actuator moves to the cool position when 12 V is applied to terminal 3 and terminal 4 is grounded. Make sure the temperature control actuator operates to the warm position when connected in reverse. [Driver]

    It will report the current actuator position to the controls.
  7. If the measured voltage does not meet the specification, replace the temperature control actuator with a known good actuator and check for proper operation.
  8. Replace the temperature control actuator if it is determined to be the cause of the problem.
