SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Mode door control system components are:
Unified meter and A/C amp.
Mode door motor (LCU)
A/C LAN system (PBR built-in mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor)
In-vehicle sensor
Ambient sensor
Sunload sensor
Intake sensor
System Operation
The unified meter and A/C amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The unified meter and A/C amp.
sends air mix door, mode door and intake door opening angle data to the air mix door motor LCU, mode door
motor LCU and intake door motor LCU.
The air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the unified meter and A/C amp. and each of
the motor position sensors are compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening
angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD or DEFROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected.
The new selection data is returned to the unified meter and A/C amp.

Mode Door Control Specification
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Mode Door Motor
The mode door motor is attached to the heater & cooling unit. It
rotates so that air is discharged from the outlet set by the unified
meter and A/C amp. Motor rotation is conveyed to a link which acti-
vates the mode door.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR MODE DOOR MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Mode door motor does not operate normally.

Air Mix Door Motor
The air mix door motor is attached to the heater & cooling unit. It
rotates so that the air mix door is opened or closed to a position set
by the unified meter and A/C amp. Motor rotation is conveyed
through a shaft and the air mix door position is then fed back to the
unified meter and A/C amp. by PBR built-in air mix door motor.
