Monterey V6-4.2L VIN 2 (2004)
Air Door Actuator / Motor: Description and Operation
Electronic Manual Temperature Control
TEMPERATURE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR(S)
The temperature blend door actuator(s):
-
is located on the heater core and evaporator core housing.
-
moves the temperature blend door(s) on command from the EMTC module.
-
contains a reversible electric motor and a potentiometer. The potentiometer wiper is connected to the actuator output shaft and moves with the
output shaft to indicate the position of the temperature blend door.
-
applies a 5 volt signal to one end of the potentiometer and ground to the other. The voltage available at the wiper indicates the position of the
potentiometer. The expressed value of the actuator wiper voltage is sent to the EMTC module and is matched with an expected wiper voltage
value. The EMTC module then drives the actuator motor in whichever direction is necessary to make the actuator wiper voltage agree with the
expected EMTC module wiper voltage value.
MODE DOOR ACTUATORS
The two mode door actuators:
-
include the air inlet door and defrost/panel/floor mode door actuators.
-
direct system airflow to the vehicle interior as determined by the climate control assembly.
-
contains a reversible electric motor
-
(defrost/panel/floor mode door actuator only) contains a potentiometer. The potentiometer wiper is connected to the actuator output shaft and
moves with the output shaft to indicate the position of the mode door.
-
(defrost/panel/floor mode door actuator only) apply a 5 volt signal to one end of the potentiometer and ground to the other. The voltage available
at the wiper indicates the position of the potentiometer. The expressed value of the actuator wiper voltage is sent to the EMTC module and is
matched with an expected wiper voltage value. The EMTC module then drives the actuator motor in whichever direction is necessary to make the
actuator wiper voltage agree with the expected EMTC module wiper voltage value.
