BLEND-AIR DOOR ACTUATOR
The blend-air door actuator (Fig. 10) is an electric
servo motor which mechanically positions the A/C
unit temperature door. Actuation of the servo motor
will occur when drive signals are supplied to the ac-
tuator from the computer control. A feedback strip in
the actuator allows the computer control to know the
exact position of the temperature door at all times.
The blend-air door actuator is not serviceable and
must be replaced if found to be defective.
CAUTION: Do not remove any of the motor actua-
tors from the heater-A/C unit assembly with any
electrical power applied. Removal should only be
done with the Ignition OFF. The actuators have no
mechanical stops to limit their travel. If the actuator
rotates and is not connected to the unit assembly,
it will become un-calibrated.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
The blend-air door actuator is located on the A/C-
heater housing above the floor hump. (1) Remove under panel silencers.
(2) Remove the carpeted cover over the air bag
control module. (3) Remove floor air distribution duct.
(4) Locate and remove three actuator attaching
screws. (5) Lower the blend-air door actuator from A/C-
heater housing while removing actuator from blend-
air door shaft (Fig. 11). (6) Disengage wire connector lock and unplug con-
nector. To install, reverse the preceding operation.
CAUTION: Align the blend-air door shaft to the slot
in the actuator. Be sure the shaft on blend-air door
actuator is properly engaged (when installing) to
prevent damage.
Perform system check.
MODE DOOR ACTUATOR
The mode door actuator is an electric servo motor.
It (with the use of linkages) mechanically positions
the A/C unit panel/bi-level door and the floor/defrost
door. Actuation of the servo motor will occur when
drive signals are supplied to the actuator from the
computer control. This actuator also contains a feed-
back strip which allows the computer control to know
the exact position of the mode door at all times. The
mode door actuator is not serviceable and must be re-
placed if found to be defective. The Mode Door Actuator is located on the side of
the A/C-heater case near the accelerator pedal.
CAUTION: Do not remove any of the motor actua-
tors from the heater-A/C unit assembly with any
electrical power applied. Removal should only be
done with the Ignition OFF. The actuators have no
mechanical stops to limit their travel. If the actuator
rotates and is not connected to the unit assembly,
it will become un-calibrated.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
(1) Remove under panel silencer.
(2) Disconnect electrical connector from actuator.
(3) Pinch and remove the lower plastic clip from
the actuator arm (Fig. 12).

screws. (7) Remove actuator from mounting bracket. Re-
move from vehicle. To install, reverse the preceding operation.
IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR/ASPIRATOR
ASSEMBLY
The ATC system uses various sensors which return
electrical signals to the computer control. The in-car
temperature sensor is part of a motorized aspirator
assembly (Fig. 14) that is mounted in the instrument
panel. A small fan (in the aspirator) draws air
through an intake on the instrument panel. This air
flows over a thermistor which picks up temperature
variations. The computer control then makes system
adjustments to maintain a constant passenger com- partment temperature. The in-car temperature sen-
sor/aspirator assembly is not serviceable and must be
replaced if found to be defective.
The In-Car Temperature Sensor/Aspirator Assem-
bly is located behind the instrument panel and to the
right of the steering column. The air intake opening
for the aspirator is located to the right of the steer-
ing column (Fig. 15). The Sensor and Aspirator are
wired together and must be replaced as an assembly.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
(1) Remove the instrument cluster assembly. Refer
to Cluster and Gauge Service section in Group 8E. (2) Un-snap the sensor from the instrument panel
(Fig. 16).

(3) Remove the two aspirator mounting screws.
(4) Disconnect the aspirator intake hose from the
instrument panel. (5) Remove sensor/aspirator and it's wiring har-
ness from vehicle. To install, reverse the preceding operation.
WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The water temperature sensor is located on the
heater core mounting plate (Fig. 17). This is a ther-
mistor which will pick up on the engines coolant
temperature. The computer control uses this informa-
tion to control the cold engine lockout time. The wa-
ter temperature sensor is not serviceable and must
be replaced if found to be defective. The Water Temperature Sensor is located on the
heater hose mounting plate between the heater hose
nipples.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
(1) The A/C-heater housing assembly must be re-
moved for Water Temperature Sensor replacement.
Refer to Heater-A/C Unit Housing Removal and In-
stallationÐAC/AY Body for procedures. (2) Remove sensor mounting screw (Fig. 18).
(3) Disconnect the sensor pigtail wiring harness
from the main wiring harness and remove sensor
from vehicle. To install, reverse the preceding operation. When
tightening the sensor mounting screw, allow the sen-
sor to rotate and contact the upper heater hose nip-
ple. This will aid in sensor efficiency.
SUN SENSOR
The sun sensor (Fig. 19) is mounted on the driver
side of the vehicle on top of the instrument panel.
This is not a thermistor type sensor but rather a
photo diode. For this reason the sun sensor responds
to sun light intensity rather than temperature. It is
used to aid in determining proper mode door position.
The sun sensor is not serviceable and must be re-
placed if found to be defective.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
(1) Carefully pry up the sensor from the instru-
ment panel with a screwdriver (Fig. 20). Place a rag
under the screwdriver to prevent scratching of the
instrument panel. (2) Disconnect the sensor at the wiring harness.
To install, reverse the preceding operation. Snap
the sensor securely to the instrument panel.

simultaneously, do both procedures. There is
typically only 1 failure. (1) Disconnect terminal #6 on the ATC control 21-
way connector and retest the system. Note that remov-
ing this terminal may generate additional Diagnostic
Trouble Codes. Disregard these at this time. (2) If Diagnostic Trouble Code 2 reappears, replace
control. (3) If code 2 does not reappear, the problem is a
shorted blend door actuator motor or a short to ground
in circuit 33 (pin #6). (4) Remove 21-way connector and check for continu-
ity from pin #6 to chassis ground. There should not be
any continuity. If continuity is there, repair wiring and
retest. (5) Check resistance across pins #6 and #4 of the
21-way for a shorted actuator motor. Resistance should
be between 20 and 50 ohms. If not correct, replace
actuator.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 3ÐMODE AC- TUATOR DRIVE SIGNAL NOT HIGH
If both Diagnostic Trouble Codes 2 and 3 occur
simultaneously, do both procedures. There is
typically only 1 failure. (1) Disconnect terminal #5 on the ATC control 21-
way connector and retest the system. Removing this
terminal may generate additional Diagnostic Trouble
Codes. Disregard these at this time. (2) If Diagnostic Trouble Code 3 reappears, replace
control. (3) If code 3 does not reappear, the problem is a
shorted mode door actuator motor, or a short to ground
in circuit #35 (pin #5). (4) Remove 21-way and check for continuity from pin
#5 to chassis ground. There should not be any continu-
ity. If continuity is there, repair wiring and retest.

age to the power module pin #1 from the ATC con-
trol. If ignition is present at the power module,
proceed to step 3. If not proceed to step 2. (2) With the 21-way connector still connected and
the ignition ON, check for power module ignition
feed at the control pin #12. If ignition is not present,
replace the control. If ignition voltage is present, re-
pair the open in the wire between the control pin
#12 and power module pin #1. Retest system. (3) Turn ignition OFF and disconnect the 21-way
connector. Measure the resistance between pins #2
and #12. The resistance should read between 2,600
and 2,800 ohms. If correct, replace the ATC control.
If not correct, proceed to step 4. (4) Remove the 4-way connector from the power
module. Check for continuity between the ATC con-
trol pin #2 and power module pin #2. If no continu-
ity is shown, repair the wire for an open. If
continuity is shown, replace the power module and
retest.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 8ÐA/D CONVERTOR INTERNAL FAILURE

repair circuit for an open. If present, continue to step
4.(4) Install 5-way connector back into the mode
door actuator. Then check for continuity between
pins #7 and #16 of the 21-way connector. If continu-
ity is present, replace the ATC control. If continuity
is not present, replace the mode door actuator.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 19ÐMODE DOOR FEEDBACK SHORTED TO GROUND
(1) Remove the 21-way connector from the control,
and the 5 way connector from the mode door actua-
tor. (2) Check for continuity between pin #16 of the
21-way connector and chassis ground. If present, re-
pair circuit for short to ground. If not present, con-
tinue to step 3. (3) Plug in the 5-way connector and measure resis-
tance between pins #7 and #16 of the 21-way con-
nector. If the resistance is less than 10 ohms, replace
the actuator. If not, replace the control head.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 20ÐBLEND DOOR MOVED DURING MODE DOOR TEST
(1) Remove the 21-way connector from the control
and the 5-way connector from the three actuators. (2) Check for continuity between pin #4 of the 21-
way connector and pin #4 of each actuator. If conti-
nuity is not present for a particular actuator circuit,
repair that circuit and retest system. If continuity is
present for all circuits, continue to step 3. (3) Plug in the 5-way connectors and check for re-
sistance between pins #4 and #6 of the 21-way con-
nector for the blend air actuator. Then check pins #4
and #5 of the 21-way connector for the mode actua-
tor. The resistance should be between 20-50 ohms. If
either of the actuators do not pass the resistance
tests, replace that particular actuator and retest the
system. If both pass the resistance test, replace the
ATC control.
