Mode Control Motor Test
Disconnect the 10P connector from the mode
control motor.
Connect battery power to the No. 1 terminal of the
mode control motor, and ground the No. 2
terminal; the mode control motor should run
smoothly and stop at Defrost. lf it doesn't, reverse
the connections; the mode control motor should
run smoothly and stop at Vent. When the mode
control motor stops running, disconnect battery
power immediately.

remove it, then check the mode control linkage and
doors for smooth movement.
. lf the linkage and doors move smoothly. replace
the mode control motor.. lf the linkage ordoorsstick or bind, repairthem
as neeoeo.. lfthe mode control motor runs smoothly, go to
step 4.
Use a digital multimeter with an output of 1 mA or
less at the 20 k Q range. With the mode control
motor running as in step 2, check for continuity
between the No. 4,5,6,7,8, and 9 terminals and
the No. 10 terminal individually. There should be
continuity for a moment at each terminal as the
motor moves past each mode position.
lf there is no continuity for a moment at each
terminal. replace the mode control motor.

Recirculation Control Motor Test
1. Disconnect the 5P connector from the recirculation
control motor.
Incorrectly applying power and ground to
the recirculation control motor will damge it.
Follow the instructions carefullv.
2. Connect batterv oower to the No. 5 terminal ofthe
recirculation control motor, and ground the No. 1
and No. 2 terminals; the recirculation control motor
should run smoothly. To avoid damaging the
recirculation control motor, do not reverse power
and ground. Disconnect the No. 1 or No. 2
terminals from ground; the recirculation control
motor should stop at Fresh or Recirculate. Don't
cycle the recirculation control motor {or a long time.

General Troubleshooting Information
Tips and Precautions
Bef ore Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
oox.
2. Check the battery for damage. state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.
. Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery
ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.. Do not attempt to crank the engine with the
battery ground cable loosely connected or you
will severely damage the wiring.
Handling Connectors. Make sure the connectors are clean and have no
loose wire terminals.. Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with
dielectric grease (except waterti ght connectors).. All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
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 pull type lock.
Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected
unless you first release the lock and remove the
connector from its mount bracket (A).
Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their
wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
Alwavs reinstall Dlastic covers,
Before connecting connectors, make sure the
terminals (A) are in place and not bent.

Five-step Troubleshooting
'1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on allthe components in the problem circuit
to verify the customer complaint. Note the
symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing
until you have narrowed down the problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit.
Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power feed
through the circuit components to ground. lf
several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or
ground is a Iikely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of
the circuit operation, identify one or more possible
causes of the problem.
3. lsolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made
in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting.
Test for the most likely cause of failure first, Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified. make the
repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
proceoures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all
modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. lf the problem was a blown fuse, be sure
to test all of the circuits on the fuse. Make sure no
new problems turn up and the original problem
does not recur.
