Air Door Actuator / Motor: Testing and Inspection
Driver's Air Mix Control Motor
Driver's Air Mix Control Motor Test
1. Disconnect the 7P connector from the driver's air mix control motor.
NOTE: Incorrectly applying power and ground to the driver's air mix control motor will damage it. Follow the instructions carefully.
2. Connect battery power to the No. 1 terminal of the driver's air mix control motor, and ground the No. 2 terminal; the driver's air mix control motor
should run. Cool side. If it doesn't, reverse the connections; the driver's air mix control motor should run. Hot side.
3. If the driver's air mix control motor did not run in step 2, remove it, then check the driver's air mix control linkage and door for smooth movement.
-
If the linkage and door move smoothly, replace the driver's air mix control motor.
-
If the linkage or door sticks or binds, repair them as needed.
-
If the driver's air mix control motor runs smoothly, go to step 4.
4. Measure the resistance between the No. 5 and No. 7 terminals. It should be between 4.2 to 7.8 kOhm.
5. Reconnect the driver's air mix control motor 7P connector, then turn the ignition switch ON (II).
6. Measure the voltage between the No. 3 and No. 5 terminals.
Max Cool - about 0.5 V
Max Hot - about 4.5 V
7. If either the resistance or voltage readings are not as specified, replace the driver's air mix control motor.
