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.
AIR MIX CONTROL 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
terminals. lt should be approximately 3.84 to 5.76 kO
at MAX HOT and approximately 0.96 to 1.44 kO at
MAX COOL.

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.

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,

Tips and Precautions
Bef ore Troubleshooting
. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
box.
. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.
. Check the alternator belt tension.
CAUTION:
. Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery
ground cable has been disconneqted, otherwise you
will damage the alternator diodes.
. Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery
ground cable loosely connecled or you will severely
damage the wiling,
Handling Connectois
. Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose
wire terminals.
. Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with
grease (except watertight connectors)
. All connectors have push-down release type locks.
Some connectors have a clip on their side used to
attach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pulltype lock.
Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected
unless you first release the lock and remove the con-
nector from its mount bracket.

-Starter Test
NOTE; The air temoerature must be between 59 and
100'F (15 and 38"C) before testing.
Recommended Procedure:
. Use a staner system tester.
. Connect and operate the equipment in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
. Test and troubleshoot as described,
Alternate Procedurg:
. Use the following equipment:- Ammeter, 0 - 400 A
- Voltmeter, 0 - 20 V (accurate within 0.1 volt)
- Tachometer, 0 - 1,200 rpm
. Hook up a voltmeter and ammeter as shown.
NEGATIVETERMINAL
NOTE: After this test, or any subsequent repair. reset
the ECM/PCM to clear any codes (see section l1)
Check the Start€r Engagemont:
1. Remove the No. 44 (15 A) fuse from the under-hood
fuse/relay box,
2. Turn the ignition switch to START (llll with the shift
lever in E or E position (rVT) or with the clutch pedal
depressed {M/T). The starter should crank the engine.
. lf the starter does not crank the engine, go to
step 3.
. lf itcranksthe engineerraticallyortooslowly, go
to "Check for Wear and Damage" on the next
page.
Check the battery. battery positive cable, ground,
starter cut relay, and the wire connections for loose-
ness and corrosion, Test again.
lf the starter still does not crank the engine, go to
step 4,
Unplug the connector (BLK,/WHT wire and solenoid
terminal) from the starter,
Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive (+)
terminal to the solenoid terminal.
The starter should crank the engine.
. lf the starter still does not crank the engine,
remove it, and diagnose its internal problem
. lf the startercranksthe engine, goto step 6.
Check the ignition switch (see page 23-891.
Check the starter cut relay and clutch interlock switch
(see page 23-86,87).
Check the A/f gear position switch (see page 23-154).
Check for an open in the wire between the ignition
switch and starter.
