Mode Control Motor
Test
Connect batterY power to the No. 4 terminsl of the
mode control motor and connect ground to the No'
8 terminal.
Using a jumper wire, short the No. 8 terminsl in-
dividually to the No. 1, 2, 3. 6 and 7 terminals, in
that order.
a Each time the short circuit is mad€, the mode con-
trol motor should run smoothly and stop.
NOTE: ll the mode control motor does not run when
shorting the tirst terminsl, short that t€rminal again
after shorting the other terminals.
The mode control motor is no.mal it it runs when
shorting the tirst terminal again.
lf the mode control motor does not run in step 2, re'
move it, and check ths mode control linkage 8nd
doors for smooth movement. It the mod€ control
linkage and doors move smoothly, replace th€ mod€
control motor.
Disconnoct ths mode control motot 8P connector,
and remove it from lhe heater unit.
