CHECKING RECIRCULATION
1. Press recirculation ( ) switch one time. Recirculation indica-
tor should illuminate.
2. Press recirculation ( ) switch one more time. Fresh ( )
indicator should illuminate.
3. Listen for intake door position change (blower sound should
change slightly).

Intake Door
Motor Circuit" .
If OK, continue with next check.
NOTE:
Confirm that the compressor clutch is engaged (sound or visual
inspection) and intake door position is at fresh when the DEF or D/F is selected.
CHECKING TEMPERATURE DECREASE
1. Rotate temperature dial counterclockwise (driver or passenger)
until 18°C (60°F) is displayed.
2. Check for cold air at appropriate discharge air outlets.
If NG, listen for sound of air mix door motor operation. If OK, go to
trouble diagnosis procedure for AT C - 11 0 , "
Insufficient Cooling" . If
air mix door motor appears to be malfunctioning, go to AT C - 6 9 ,
"DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR
(DRIVER)" or AT C - 7 1 , "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AIR MIX
DOOR MOTOR (PASSENGER)" .
If OK, continue with next check.

CHECKING TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1. Rotate temperature dial clockwise (driver or passenger) until
32°C (90°F) is displayed.
2. Check for hot air at appropriate discharge air outlets.
If NG, listen for sound of air mix door motor operation. If OK, go to
trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-117, "
Insufficient Heating" . If
air mix door motor appears to be malfunctioning, go to ATC-69,
"DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR
(DRIVER)" or AT C - 7 1 , "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AIR MIX
DOOR MOTOR (PASSENGER)" .
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECK A/C SWITCH
1. Press A/C switch.
2. A/C switch indicator will turn ON.

Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual
inspection).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-104, "
Magnet
Clutch Circuit" .
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECKING AUTO MODE
1. Press AUTO switch.
2. Display should indicate AUTO.

If ambient temperature is warm, and selected temperature is
cool, confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or
visual inspection). (Discharge air and blower speed will
depend on ambient, in-vehicle, and set temperatures.)
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-60, "
Power Supply
and Ground Circuit for Front Air Control" , then if necessary, trouble
diagnosis procedure for ATC-104, "
Magnet Clutch Circuit" .
If all operational checks are OK (symptom cannot be duplicated), go
to malfunction Simulation Tests in AT C - 3 5 , "
How to Perform Trouble
Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair" and perform tests as out-
lined to simulate driving conditions environment. If symptom appears. Refer to ATC-35, "
How to Perform Trou-
ble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair" , AT C - 3 5 , "SYMPTOM TABLE" and perform applicable trouble
diagnosis procedures.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Defroster door control system components are:

Front air control

Defroster door motor

PBR (Built into defroster door motor)

In-vehicle sensor

Ambient sensor

Optical sensor

Intake sensor
System Operation
The front air control determines defroster door position based on the position of the defroster switch. When the
defroster switch is rotated counterclockwise, the defroster door motor rotates directing air to the defroster
ducts. When any mode other than defroster is selected, the defroster motor rotates in the opposite direction
closing off air flow to the defroster ducts.
In the AUTO mode, the front air control determines defroster door position based on the ambient temperature,
the intake air temperature and the in-vehicle temperature.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Defroster door motor
The defroster door motor is attached to the front heater & cooling
unit. The front air control sends a voltage to rotate to the defroster
door directing the air flow either to the defroster ducts, or to the floor
ducts, depending on which way the voltage and ground are applied
to the motor leads. Motor rotation is conveyed to a lever which acti-
vates the defroster door.
