Mode Control Motor Test
Disconnect the 10P connector from the mode
control motor.
Connect battery power to the No. 1 terminal of the
mode control motor, and ground the No. 2
terminal; the mode control motor should run
smoothly and stop at Defrost. lf it doesn't, reverse
the connections; the mode control motor should
run smoothly and stop at Vent. When the mode
control motor stops running, disconnect battery
power immediately.

MODE CONTROL MOTOR
3. lfthe mode control motor does not run in step 2,
remove it, then check the mode control linkage and
doors for smooth movement.
. lf the linkage and doors move smoothly. replace
the mode control motor.. lf the linkage ordoorsstick or bind, repairthem
as neeoeo.. lfthe mode control motor runs smoothly, go to
step 4.
Use a digital multimeter with an output of 1 mA or
less at the 20 k Q range. With the mode control
motor running as in step 2, check for continuity
between the No. 4,5,6,7,8, and 9 terminals and
the No. 10 terminal individually. There should be
continuity for a moment at each terminal as the
motor moves past each mode position.
lf there is no continuity for a moment at each
terminal. replace the mode control motor.

the recirculation control motor will damge it.
Follow the instructions carefullv.
2. Connect batterv oower to the No. 5 terminal ofthe
recirculation control motor, and ground the No. 1
and No. 2 terminals; the recirculation control motor
should run smoothly. To avoid damaging the
recirculation control motor, do not reverse power
and ground. Disconnect the No. 1 or No. 2
terminals from ground; the recirculation control
motor should stop at Fresh or Recirculate. Don't
cycle the recirculation control motor {or a long time.
