SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Mode door control system components are:

Front air control

Mode door motor

PBR (built into mode door motor)

In-vehicle sensor

Ambient sensor

Optical sensor

Intake sensor
System Operation
The mode door position (vent, B/L, foot, defrost/floor, and defrost) is set by the front air control by means of the
mode door motor. When a mode door position is selected on the front air control, voltage is applied to one cir-
cuit of the mode door motor while ground is applied to the other circuit, causing the mode door motor to rotate.
The direction of rotation is determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground
applied to it. The front air control monitors the mode door position by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR
circuit.
In AUTO mode the mode door position is set by the front air control which determines the proper position
based on inputs from the in-vehicle sensor, ambient sensor, optical sensor, intake sensor, and the temperature
selected by the driver or passenger.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Air mix door control system components are:

Front air control

Air mix door motors (driver, passenger, and rear)

PBR (built-into air mix door motors)

In-vehicle sensor

Ambient sensor

Optical sensor

Intake sensor
System Operation
The front air control receives data from the temperature selected by the driver side, passenger side, and rear.
The front air control then applies a voltage to one circuit of the appropriate air mix door motor, while ground is
applied to the other circuit, causing the appropriate air mix door motor to rotate. The direction of rotation is
determined by which circuit has voltage applied to it, and which one has ground applied to it. The front air con-
trol monitors the air mix door positions by measuring the voltage signal on the PBR circuits of each door.
In AUTO mode the air mix, intake, mode door, and defrost door positions are set by the front air control which
determines the proper position based on inputs from the in-vehicle sensor, ambient sensor, optical sensor,
intake sensor, and the temperature selected by the driver and front and rear passengers.
Subsequently, HOT/COLD or DEFROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The new
door position data is returned to the front air control.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Air Mix Door Motors
The driver and front passenger air mix door motors are attached to
the front heater & cooling unit. The rear air mix door motor is
attached to the rear heater & cooling unit. These motors rotate so
that the air mix door is opened or closed to a position set by the front
(or rear) air control. Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft
and the air mix door position is then fed back to the front air control
by the PBR built into the air mix door motors.
