INTAKE DOOR MOTOR
INTAKE DOOR MOTOR
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001679789
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
SYMTOM:• Intake door motor does not operate normally.
• Intake door does not change.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Intake door control system components are:• A/C auto amp.
• A/C and AV switch assembly
• Intake door motor (PRB built into the intake door motor)
• In-vehicle sensor
• Ambient sensor
• Optical sensor
• Intake sensor
System Operation
The intake door control determines the intake door position based on the position of the recirculation switch.
When the recirculation switch is depressed the intake
door motor rotates closing off the fresh air inlet and
recirculating the cabin air. If the recirculation switch is depressed again, the intake door motor rotates in the
opposite direction, again allowing fresh air into the cabin.
In the AUTO mode, the A/C auto amp. determines the intake door position based on the ambient temperature,
the intake air temperature and the in-vehicle temperature. When the DEF, D/F, FLOOR or OFF switches are
pushed, the A/C auto amp. sets the intake door at the fresh position.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Intake door motor
The intake door motor is attached to the intake unit. It rotates so that
air is drawn from inlets set by the A/C auto amp. Motor rotation is
conveyed to a lever which activates the intake door.
Intake Door Motor Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000001679790
INSPECTION FLOW

Check for any service bulletins.
>> GO TO 4.
4.CHECK INTAKE DOOR OPERATION
Check and verify intake door me chanism for smooth operation.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Repair intake door mechanism.
5.PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Perform self-diagnosis to check for any codes. Refer to HAC-22, "
A/C and AV Switch Assembly Self-Diagno-
sis".
Are any self-diagnosis codes present?
YES >> Refer to HAC-23, "A/C System Self-Diagnosis Code Chart".
NO >> GO TO 6.
6.RECHECK FOR ANY SYMPTOMS
Perform a complete operational check for any symptoms. Refer to HAC-4, "
Operational Check (Front)".
Does another symptom exist?
YES >> Refer to HAC-3, "How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis For Quick And Accurate Repair".
