INTAKE DOOR MOTOR
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005147694
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 temperatur e. When the DEF, D/F, FLOOR or OFF switches are
pushed, the A/C auto amp. sets the intake door at the fresh position.

DEFROSTER DOOR MOTOR CIRCUIT
DEFROSTER DOOR
MOTOR CIRCUIT
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005147697
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Defroster door control system components are:• A/C auto amp.
• A/C and AV switch assembly
• Defroster door motor
• PBR (Built into defroster door motor)
• In-vehicle sensor
• Ambient sensor
• Optical sensor
• Intake sensor
System Operation
The A/C auto amp. determines defroster door position bas ed on the position of the defroster switch. When the
defroster switch is depressed, the defroster door motor rotates directing air to the defroster ducts. When any
mode other than defroster is selected, the defroster moto r rotates in the opposite direction closing off air flow
to the defroster ducts.
In the AUTO mode, the A/C auto amp. determines def roster door position based on the ambient temperature,
the intake air temperature and the in-vehicle temperature.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Defroster door motor
The defroster door motor is attached to the front heater & cooling
unit assembly. The A/C auto amp. sends a voltage to rotate to the
defroster door directing the air flow either to the defroster ducts, or to
the floor ducts, depending on which way the voltage and ground are
applied to the motor leads. Motor rotation is conveyed to a lever
which activates the defroster door.
