Disconnect the 5P connector from the air mix con-
trol motor.
Connect battery power to the No. 1 terminal of the
air mix control motor, and ground the No. 5 termi,
nal; the air mix control motor should run, and stop
at MAX HOT. lf it doesn't, reverse the connections;
the air mix control motor should run, and stop at
MAX COOL.
lf the air mix control motor does not run, remove
it, then check the air mix control linkage and
doors for smooth movement.
lf they move smoothly, replace the air mix con-
trol motor.

Measure the resistance between the No.2 and No.3
terminals. lt should be approximately 4.8 to 7.2 kO.
Measure the resistance between the No. 2 and No. 4
