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 as indicated by the
front air control. Motor rotation is conveyed to a link which activates
the mode door.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR MODE DOOR MOTOR
1. CHECK FRONT AIR CONTROL FOR POWER AND GROUND
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Press the mode switch to the B/L ( ) mode.
3. Check voltage between front air control harness connector M49
terminal 5 and terminal 6 while pressing the mode switch to the
floor ( ) mode.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK MODE DOOR MOTOR CIRCUITS FOR SHORT TO GROUND
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the front air control harness connector.
3. Check continuity between front air control harness connector
M49 terminal 5, 6 and ground.
OK or NG

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Air Mix Door Motors
The driver and front passenger air mix door motors are attached to
the front heater & cooling unit. The rear air mix door motor is
attached to the rear heater & cooling unit. These motors rotate so
that the air mix door is opened or closed to a position set by the front
(or rear) air control. Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft
and the air mix door position is then fed back to the front air control
by the PBR built into the air mix door motors.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR (DRIVER)
1. CHECK FRONT AIR CONTROL FOR POWER AND GROUND
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Rotate temperature control dial (driver) to 32°C (90°F).
3. Check voltage between front air control harness connector M49
terminal 3 and terminal 4 while rotating temperature control dial
(driver) to 16°C (60°F).
