| Inspection |
| 1. |
Ignition "OFF” |
| 2. |
Disconnect the connector of mode control actuator. |
| 3. |
Verify that the mode control actuator operates to the defrost
mode when connecting 12V to the terminal 3and grounding terminal 7. |
| 4. |
Verify that the mode control actuator operates to the vent mode when connecting in the reverse.
|
| 5. |
Check the voltage between terminals 4 and 5.
Specification
It will feedback current position of actuator to controls. |
| 6. |
If the measured voltage is not specification, substitute with a known-good mode control actuator and check for proper operation. |
| 7. |
If the problem is corrected, replace the mode control actuator. |
| Replacement |
| 1. |
Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal. |
| 2. |
