6. AIR CONDITIONER MODULE SENSORS AND ACTUATORS
1) Duct Temperature Sensor
The duct temperature sensor is installed on the top of heater unit. It detects the inside
temperature of duct and transmits the voltage value that is changed according to resistance
value (NTC) to FATC controller.
(1) Inspection
If the duct temperature sensor defect code (DTC 3) is set, check as below.
▶
Remove the duct temperature sensor and measure the resistance between terminals on the
sensor connector. (standard: approx. 25°C, 2.2 kΩ) In addition, if the resistance is
extremely high or, replace the sensor.
If the measured value is out of the specified range, replace the duct temperature sensor. I
f
the measured value is within the specified range, check as below.
Turn the ignition switch to ON position and measure the voltage to duct temperature senso
r
from the FATC controller connector.
(standard: approx. 2 V at 25°C)
If the voltage value cannot be measured, check the circuit for open. If the measured value is
within the specified range, replace the FATC controller.

2) Power Transistor
The power transistor controls the fan speed. It controls the blower motor operating speed
without stages by changing the current value to the base of power transistor when receiving the
fan control signal from FATC.

Rear air conditioner power transistor
(1) Inspection
If the power transistor defect code (DTC 6) is appeared, check as below.
▶
Turn the ignition switch to ON position.
Measure the voltage between terminals while changing the fan speed from stage 1 to stage
6
The specified voltage value in each stage:

If the voltage is out of specified value, check the circuit for open. If the circuit is in normal
condition, replace the power transistor.

3) Mode Door Actuator
The mode door actuator is an actuator that closes, opens and adjusts the mode door for VENT,
FLOOR and DEF mode to change the air flow directions according to FATC controller. Unde
r
the FATC controller AUTO mode, it stays on DEF mode until the engine coolant temperature
reaches at normal operating level and the mode is changed as below when the MODE switch is
pressed.

(1) Inspection
If the intake door mode on FATC is different from the actual intake door mode,
check as below. ▶
Turn the ignition switch to ON position.
Measure the voltage between each terminal (P1 through P5)and positive (+) terminal in
respective mode.
(If the voltage is changed from 0 V to 12 V after selecting the mode, it is normal.)
If the voltage value is out of the specified value, check the related circuits for open.
If the circuits are in normal condition, replace the FATC.
If the voltage is within the specified value, replace the mode door actuator assembly.
Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) cables of temporary power supply to the doo
r
mode actuator. And, connect the negative cable to each terminal (P1 through P5) to check
its operation.
(If it operates as shown in above figure, it is normal.) 1.

If the intake door mode on FATC is different from the actual intake door mode, check
as below. ▶
Turn the ignition switch to ON position.
Measure the voltage between terminal P1 and P2 (approx. 12 V) and terminal a and b
(approx. 5V).
If the voltage value is out of the specified value, check the related circuits for open.
If the circuits are in normal condition, replace the air door actuator assembly.
If the voltage is within the specified value, replace the mode door actuator assembly.
Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) cables of temporary power supply to the air doo

If the air mix door defect error is indicated, check as below. ▶
Turn the ignition switch to ON position.
Measure the voltage between terminal P1 and P2 (approx. 12 V) and terminal a and b
(approx. 5V).
If the voltage value is out of the specified value, check the related circuits for open.
If the circuits are in normal condition, replace the air mix door actuator assembly.
Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) cables of temporary power supply to the air mix
