Mode Control Motor
2.
Test
1.
4.
Disconnect the 7P connector from the mode control
motor.
Connect battery power to the No, 1 terminal, and
ground the No.7 terminal,
CAUTION: Never connecl the battery in iho oppo-
site direction.
Using a jumper wire, connect the No. 7 terminal
individually to the No. 2,3, 4,5 and 6 terminals in
that order. Each time the connection is made, the
mode control motor should run smoothly and stop.
NOTE: lf the mode control motor does not run when
jumping the first terminal, jump that terminal again
after jumping the other terminals. The mode control
motor is OK if it runs when jumping the first termi-
nal again.
MODE CONTROL MOTOR
lf the mode control motor does not run in step 3,
remove it. then check the mode control linkage and
doors for smooth movement. lf they move smoothly,
reolace the mode control motor,
Replacement
1. Disconnect the 7P connector from the mode control
motor,
Remove the rod from the arm of the mode control
motor.
Remove the tyvo self-tapping screws and the mode
control motor.
lnstall in the reverse order of removal. After installa'
tion, make sure the mode control motor runs
smoothly.

Recirculation Control Motor
Test
LDisconnect the 4P connector from the recirculation
control motor.
Connect battery power to the No. I terminal, andground the No.2 and No. 4 terminals; the recircula-
tion control motor should run smoothly.
CAUTION: Never connest ths battery in the oppo-
site direction.
Disconnect the No. 2 or No. 4 terminals from ground;
the recirculation control motor should stop at FRESH
or RECIRCULATE.
NOTE: Don't cycle the recirculation control motor
for a long time.
RECIRCULATION CONTROL MOTOR
4. lf the recirculation control motor does not run in step
2, remove it, then check the recirculation control link-
age and door for smooth movement. lf they move
smoothly, replace the recirculation control motor.

Replacement
L Disconnect the 4P connector from the recirculation
control motor, and remove the wire harness clip
from it.
Remove the two self-tapping screws and the recir-
culation control motor.
Install in the reverse order of removal. After installa,
tion, make sure the recirculation control motor runs
smoothly.

Check the diode:1. Disconnect the iumPer wire
2. Remove the A/C diode from
the under hood fuse/relaY box
3. Check for current flow in both
directions between the A and
B terminals.
