COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Mode Door Motor
The mode door motor is attached to the heater & cooling unit. It
rotates so that air is discharged from the outlet as indicated by the
front air control. Motor rotation is conveyed to a link which activates
the mode door.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR MODE DOOR MOTOR
1. CHECK FRONT AIR CONTROL FOR POWER AND GROUND
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Press the mode switch to the B/L ( ) mode.
3. Check voltage between front air control harness connector M49 terminal 5 and terminal 6 while pressing the mode switch to the
floor ( ) mode.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK MODE DOOR MOTOR CIRCUITS FOR SHORT TO GROUND
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the front air control harness connector.
3. Check continuity between front air control harness connector M49 terminal 5, 6 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace front air control. Refer to ATC-144, "FRONT
AIR CONTROL" .

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Air Mix Door Motors
The driver (1) and front passenger (2) air mix door motors are
attached to the front heater & cooling unit assembly. 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 posi-
tion set by the front (or rear) air control. Motor rotation is then con-
veyed 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.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR (DRIVER)
1. CHECK FRONT AIR CONTROL FOR POWER AND GROUND
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Rotate temperature control dial (driver) to 32° C (90°F).
3. Check voltage between front air control harness connector M49 terminal 3 and terminal 4 while rotating temperature control dial
(driver) to 16 °C (60 °F).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR (DRIVER) CIRCUITS FOR SHORT TO GROUND
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the front air control harness connector.
3. Check continuity between front air control harness connector M49 terminal 3, 4 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace front air control. Refer to ATC-144, "FRONT
AIR CONTROL" .
NG >> Repair or replace harness as necessary.
