Air Mix Control Motor Test
1. Disconnect the 5P connector from the air mix
control motor.
2. Connect battery powertothe No. l terminal ofthe
air mix control motor, and ground the No. 2
terminal; the air mix control motor should run, and
stop at Max Cool. lf it doesn't, reverse the
connections;the air mix control motor should run,
and stop at Max Hot. lf the air mix control motor
does not run, remove it. then check the air mix
control linkage and door for smooth movement.
. lf the linkage and door move smoothly, replace
the air mix control motor.. lf the linkage ordoorstickor bind, repairthem as
needed.. lf the air mix control motor runs smoothly, go to
step 3.

Measure the resistance between the No. 4 and
No. 5 terminals. lt should be between 2.1 k to
3.9 kQ.
Reconnect the air mix control motor 5P connector,
then turn the ignition switch ON {ll).
Using the Backprobe Set, measure the voltage
between the No. 3 and No. 4 terminals.
Max Cool about 1V
Max Hot about 4 V
lf either the resistance or voltage readings are not
as specified, replace the air mix cotrol motor.

Air Mix Control Motor Replacement
1.Remove the under-dash fuse/relay box (see page
22-491.
Disconnect the 5P connector {A) from the air mix
control motor (B). Remove the self-tapping screws
and the air mix control motor from the heater unit.
Remove the rod (C) from the arm (D) of the air mix
controi motor.
