VENT DOOR CONTROL

MOTOR

2. Install the vent door control motor in the reverse

order of removal. Then apply battery voltage, and

watch the door move.

• Make sure that the vent door moves smoothly

without binding.

• Make sure the motor doesn't pull the vent door

too
far.
Test

1. Connect battery power to the No. 1 terminal of the

vent door control motor, then connect ground to the

No. 2 terminal; the vent door control motor should

run, and stop at CLOSE.

If it doesn't, reverse the connections; the vent door

control motor should run, and stop at OPEN.

NOTE: If the vent door control motor does not run,

remove it, and check the vent door control linkage

and door for smooth movement. If the vent door

control linkage and door move smoothly, replace

the vent door control motor.

2. Measure resistance between the No. 3 terminal and

No. 5 terminal, it should be approx. 10

3. Measure resistance between the No. 3 terminal and

No. 4 terminal, it should be approx. 0.6 at OPEN

and approx. 9.4 at CLOSE.ProCarManuals.com

Damaged Airbag or Tensioner Special Proce-

dure.

If an airbag or tensioner cannot be

deployed or triggered, it should not be treated as

normal scrap; it should still be considered a poten-

tially explosive device that can cause serious

injury.

1. If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal proce-

dures in this section.

2. Intertwine the stripped ends of the two airbag or ten-

sioner wires to make a short circuit.

3. Package the airbag or tensioner in exactly the same

packaging that the new replacement part came in.

4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG

(or TENSIONER) NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not

get confused with your parts stock. If applicable,

also note on the box the VIN of the vehicle from

which it was removed.

5. Contact your Acura District Technical Manager for

how and where to return it for disposal.
Deployment Tool: Check Procedure.

1. Connect the yellow clips to both switch protector

handles on the tool; connect the tool to a battery.

2. Push the operation switch: green means the tool is

OK; red means the tool is faulty.

3. Disconnect the battery and the yellow clips.ProCarManuals.com
