NOTE: Before testing, check for HVAC DTCs (see page
21-9). 1. Disconnect the 7P connector from the air mix control motor.
Incorrectly applying power and ground to
the air mix control motor will damage it.
Follow the instructions carefully.
2. Connect battery power to terminal No. 1 of the air mix control motor, and ground terminal No. 2; the
air mix control motor should run, and stop at Max
Hot. If it doesn’t, reverse the connections; the air
mix control motor should run, and stop at Max Cool.
When the air mix control motor stops running,
disconnect battery power immediately.
3. If the air mix control motor did not run in step 2, remove it, then check the air mix control linkage
and door for smooth movement.
If the linkage and door move smoothly, replace the air mix control motor (see page 21-72).
If the linkage or door sticks or binds, repair them as needed.
If the air mix control motor runs smoothly, go to step 4.
4. Measure the resistance between terminals No. 5 and No. 7. It should be between 4.2 to 7.8 k .
5. Reconnect the air mix control motor 7P connector, then turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Using the backprobe set, measure the voltage between terminals No. 3 and No. 7.
7. If either the resistance or voltage readings are not as specified, replace the air mix control motor
(see page 21-72). 1. Remove the driver’s dashboard undercover
(see page 20-103).
2. Disconnect the 7P connector (A) from the air mix control motor (B). Remove the self-tapping screws
and the air mix control motor from the heater unit.
3. Install the motor in the reverse order of removal. Make sure the pin on the motor is properly
engaged with the linkage. After installation, make
sure the motor runs smoothly.

NOTE: Before testing, check for HVAC DTCs (see page
21-9).
1. Disconnect the 7P connector from the mode control motor.
Incorrectly applying power and ground to
the mode control motor will damage it.
Follow the instructions carefully.
2. Connect battery power to terminal No. 1 of the mode control motor, and ground terminal No. 2;
the mode control motor should run smoothly, and
stop at Vent. If it doesn’t, reverse the c onnections;
the mode control motor should run smoothly, and
stop at Defrost. When the mode control motor
stops running, disconnect battery power
immediately.
3. If the mode control motor did not run in step 2, remove it, then check the mode control linkage and
doors for smooth movement.
If the linkage and doors move smoothly, replace the mode control motor (see page 21-73).
If the linkage or doors stick or bind, repair them as needed.
If the mode control motor runs smoothly, go to step 4.
4. Use a digital multimeter with an output of 1 mA or less at the 20 k range. With the mode control
motor running as in step 2, check for continuity
between terminals No. 3, 4, 5, and 6 and terminal
No. 7 individually. There should be continuity for a
moment at each terminal as the motor moves past
the switch’s terminal.
5. If there is no continuity for a moment at each terminal, replace the mode control motor (see page
21-73). 1. Remove the glove box (see page 20-104).
2. Remove the wire harness clip (A), the self-tapping
screws, and the passenger’s heater duct (B).
3. Disconnect the 7P connector (A) from the mode control motor (B). Remove the self-tapping screws
and the mode control motor from the heater unit.
4. Install the motor in the reverse order of removal. Make sure the pin on the motor is properly
engaged with the linkage. After installation, make
sure the motor runs smoothly.

SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations (see page 24-11) and the
precautions and procedures (see page 24-13) before
doing repairs or service.
1. Do the battery terminal disconnection procedure (see page 22-68).
2. Disconnect the A/C line from the evaporator core
(see page 21-78).
3. Remove the air cleaner housing assembly (see page 11-345).
4. When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant from the radiator (see page 10-8).
5. From under the hood, slide the hose clamps (A) back. Disconnect the inlet heater hose (B) and the
outlet heater hose (C) from the heater unit. Note the
orientation of the hoses.
Engine coolant will run out when the hoses are
disconnected; drain it into a clean drip pan. Be sure
not to let coolant spill on the electrical parts or the
painted surfaces. If any coolant spills, rinse it off
immediately. 6. Remove the mounting nut from the heater unit.
Take care not to damage or bend the fuel lines or
brake lines, etc.
7. Remove the dashboard (see page 20- 108).
8. Disconnect the connector (A) from the blower motor. Remove the wire harness clip (B).

13. Remove the self-tapping screws, the heater core cover (A), the grommet (B). and carefully pull out
the heater core (C).
14. Install the heater core and the evaporator core in the reverse order of removal.
15. Install the heater unit in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
Do not interchange the inlet and outlet heater hoses, and install the hose clamps securely.
Refill the cooling system with engine coolant (see page 10-8).
Make sure that there is no coolant leakage.
Make sure that there is no air leakage.
Refer to evaporator core replacement (see page 21-78).
16. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure (see page 22-68). NOTE: Do not install an A/C compressor into a system
unless you are completely sure that the system is free
of contamination. Installing the A/C compressor into a
contaminated system can result in premature A/C
compressor failure.
1. If the A/C compressor is marginally operable, run the engine at idle speed, and let the air
conditioning work for a few minutes, then shut the
engine off.
2. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/recycling/ charging station (see page 21-90).
3. Remove the drive belt (see page 4-31).
4. Remove the front bulkhead and the condenser fan shroud (see page 10-19).
5. Remove the splash shield (see page 20-172).
6. Remove the bolt and the nut, then disconnect the suction hose (A) and discharge hose (B) from the
A/C compressor. Plug or cap the lines immediately
after disconnecting them to avoid moisture and
dust contamination.
