System Operation
The front air control determines defroster door position based on the position of the defroster switch. When the
defroster switch is depressed, the defroster door moto r rotates directing air to the defroster ducts. When any
mode other than defroster is selected, the defroster moto r rotates in the opposite direction closing off air flow
to the defroster ducts.
In the AUTO mode, the front air control determines defroster door position based on the ambient temperature,
the intake air temperature and the in-vehicle temperature.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Defroster door motor
The defroster door motor is attached to the front heater & cooling
unit assembly. The front air control sends a voltage to rotate to the
defroster door directing the air flow either to the defroster ducts, or to
the floor ducts, depending on which way the voltage and ground are
applied to the motor leads. Motor rotation is conveyed to a lever
which activates the defroster door.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR DEFROSTER DOOR MOTOR
1.CHECK FRONT AIR CONTROL FOR POWER AND GROUND
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Press the defroster switch ( ).
3. Check voltage between front air control harness connector M49 terminal 20 and terminal 19 and press the defroster switch ( )
again.
