Repair Procedures

Inspection

  1. Turn the ignition off.

  2. Disconnect the mode control actuator connector.

  3. Verify that the mode control actuator operates in the defrost position when 12 V is applied to terminal 3 and ground to terminal 7.

    Check that the mode control actuator operates in the vent mode when the connections are reversed.

  4. Connect the mode control actuator connector.

  5. Turn the ignition on.

  6. Check the voltage between terminals 5 and 6.

    Specification

    Door Position Voltage (V) Fault Detection
    Cool 1,50 ± 0,15 Low voltage: 1.7 V or less
    High voltage: 4.9 V or more
    Warm 4,70 ± 0,15

    The current actuator position will be sent to the control unit.

  7. If the measured voltage is not within specification, replace the temperature control actuator with a known good one and verify proper operation.

  8. Replace the mode control actuator if it is determined to be the cause of the problem.

Replacement

  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

  2. Remove the knee airbag.

    (See Restraint System - "Knee Airbag (KAB) Module").

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