(1) Position the mode door actuators onto the heat-
er/AC housing. If necessary, rotate the actuator
slightly to align the splines on the actuator output
shaft with those in the mode door linkage.
(2) Install and tighten the two screws that secure
the mode door actuators to the distribution housing.
Tighten the screws to 2 N´m (17 in. lbs.).
(3) Reconnect the HVAC wire harness connector
for the mode door actuators to the actuator connector
receptacle.
(4) Install the instrument panel assembly(Refer to
23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/INSTRUMENT

RECIRCULATION DOOR
ACTUATOR
DESCRIPTION
The recirculation door actuator is a reversible,
12-volt Direct Current (DC), servo motor. The single
recirculation door actuator is located on the passen-
ger side end of the heater-A/C housing unit. The
recirculation door actuator is mechanically connected
to the recirculation air door. The recirculation door
actuator is interchangeable with the actuators for the
blend air door(s) and the mode doors. Each actuator
is contained within an identical black molded plastic
housing with an integral wire connector receptacle.
Two integral mounting tabs allow the actuator to be
secured with two screws to the intake air housing.
Each actuator also has an identical output shaft with
splines that connects it to the linkage that drives therecirculation air door. The recirculation door actuator
does not require mechanical indexing to the recircu-
lation air door, as it is electronically calibrated by the
heater-A/C control module. The recirculation door
actuator cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if dam-
aged or faulty, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The recirculation door actuator is connected to the
heater-A/C control module through the vehicle elec-
trical system by a dedicated two-wire take out and
connector of the HVAC wire harness. The recircula-
tion door actuator can move the recirculation door in
two directions. When the heater-A/C control module
pulls the voltage on one side of the motor connection
high and the other connection low, the recirculation
air door will move in one direction. When the module
reverses the polarity of the voltage to the motor, the
recirculation air door moves in the opposite direction.
When the module makes the voltage to both connec-
tions high or both connections low, the recirculation
air door stops and will not move. These same motor
connections also provide a feedback signal to the
heater-A/C control module. This feedback signal
allows the module to monitor the operation and rela-
tive position of the recirculation door actuator and
the recirculation air door. The heater-A/C control
module learns the recirculation air door stop posi-
tions during the calibration procedure and will store
a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any problems it
detects in the recirculation door actuator circuits.
The recirculation door actuator can be diagnosed
using a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.
