Air Mix Gontrol Motor
't.
Test -'99 - 00 Models
Disconnect the 5P connector from the air mix con-
trol motor.
Connect battery power to the No. 1 terminal of the
air mix control motor, and ground the No. 5 termi,
nal; the air mix control motor should run, and stop
at MAX HOT. lf it doesn't, reverse the connections;
the air mix control motor should run, and stop at
MAX COOL.
lf the air mix control motor does not run, remove
it, then check the air mix control linkage and
doors for smooth movement.
lf they move smoothly, replace the air mix con-
trol motor.
AIR MIX CONTROL MOTOR
Measure the resistance between the No.2 and No.3
terminals. lt should be approximately 4.8 to 7.2 kO.
Measure the resistance between the No. 2 and No. 4
terminals. lt should be approximately 3.84 to 5.76 kO
at MAX HOT and approximately 0.96 to 1.44 kO at
MAX COOL.

Replacement -'99 - 00 Models
1, Disconnect the 5P connector from the air mix con-
trol motor. Remove the self-tapping screws, the airmix control motor and the flange collar.
CONTROLMOTOR
Install in the reverse order of removal. After installa-
tion, make sure the air mix control motor runs
smoothly.

Mode Control Motor

Test
1.
4.
Disconnect the 7P connector from the mode control
motor.
Connect battery power to the No, 1 terminal, and
ground the No.7 terminal,
CAUTION: Never connecl the battery in iho oppo-
site direction.
Using a jumper wire, connect the No. 7 terminal
individually to the No. 2,3, 4,5 and 6 terminals in
that order. Each time the connection is made, the
mode control motor should run smoothly and stop.
NOTE: lf the mode control motor does not run when
jumping the first terminal, jump that terminal again
after jumping the other terminals. The mode control
motor is OK if it runs when jumping the first termi-
nal again.
MODE CONTROL MOTOR
lf the mode control motor does not run in step 3,
remove it. then check the mode control linkage and
doors for smooth movement. lf they move smoothly,
reolace the mode control motor,
Replacement
1. Disconnect the 7P connector from the mode control
motor,
Remove the rod from the arm of the mode control
motor.
Remove the tyvo self-tapping screws and the mode
control motor.
lnstall in the reverse order of removal. After installa'
tion, make sure the mode control motor runs
smoothly.

Recirculation Control Motor
Test
LDisconnect the 4P connector from the recirculation
control motor.
Connect battery power to the No. I terminal, andground the No.2 and No. 4 terminals; the recircula-
tion control motor should run smoothly.
CAUTION: Never connest ths battery in the oppo-
site direction.
Disconnect the No. 2 or No. 4 terminals from ground;
the recirculation control motor should stop at FRESH
or RECIRCULATE.
NOTE: Don't cycle the recirculation control motor
for a long time.
RECIRCULATION CONTROL MOTOR
4. lf the recirculation control motor does not run in step
2, remove it, then check the recirculation control link-
age and door for smooth movement. lf they move
smoothly, replace the recirculation control motor.

Replacement
L Disconnect the 4P connector from the recirculation
control motor, and remove the wire harness clip
from it.
Remove the two self-tapping screws and the recir-
culation control motor.
Install in the reverse order of removal. After installa,
tion, make sure the recirculation control motor runs
smoothly.

1. Disconnsct the 3P connector from the oower tran-stsror.
2, Carefully release the lock tab on the No. 2 terminal inthe 3P connector, then remove the terminal and insu-late it from body glound.
Connect a 1.2 - 3.4 W bulb between the No. 1 andthe No. 2 cavity on the 3P connector.
Reconnect the 3P connector to the power translstor.
Turn the ignition switch ON fll), and check that theblower motor runs.
