SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Mode door control system components are:• Front air control
• Mode door motor
• PBR (built into mode door motor)
• In-vehicle sensor
• Ambient sensor
• Optical sensor
• Intake sensor
System Operation
The mode door position (vent, B/L, foot, and defrost) is se t by the front air control by means of the mode door
motor. When a mode door position is selected on the front air control, voltage is applied to one circuit of the
mode door motor while ground is applied to the other circui t, causing the mode door motor to rotate. The direc-
tion of rotation is determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied to it.
The front air control monitors the mode door positi on by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR circuit.
In AUTO mode the mode door position is set by the fr ont air control which determines the proper position
based on inputs from the in-vehicle sens or, ambient sensor, optical sensor, intake sensor, and the temperature
selected by the driver or passenger.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Air mix door control system components are:
• Front air control.
• Air mix door motors (Driver, Passenger, and rear)
• PBR (built-into air mix door motors)
• In-vehicle sensor
• Ambient sensor
• Optical sensor
• Intake sensor
System Operation
The front air control receives data from the temperatur e selected by the driver side, passenger side, and rear.
The front air control then applies a voltage to one circuit of the appropriate air mix door motor, while ground is
applied to the other circuit, causing the appropriate air mix door motor to rotate. The direction of rotation is
determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied to it. The front air con-
trol monitors the air mix door positions by measur ing the voltage signal on the PBR circuits of each door.
In AUTO mode the air mix, intake, mode door, and defrost door positions are set by the front air control which
determines the proper position based on inputs from the in-vehicle sensor, ambient sensor, optical sensor,
intake sensor, and the temperature selected by the driver and front and rear passengers.

Air Mix Door Control Specification
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Air Mix Door Motors
The driver (1) and front passenger (2) air mix door motors are
attached to the front heater & cooling unit assembly. 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 posi-
tion set by the front (or rear) air control. Motor rotation is then con-
veyed 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.
