AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR
AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001679785
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
SYMPTOM:• Discharge air temperature does not change.
• Air mix door motor does not operate.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Air mix door control system components are:• A/C auto amp.
• A/C and AV switch assembly
• 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 A/C auto amp. receives data from the temperature
selected by the driver side, passenger side, and rear.
The A/C auto amp. 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 A/C auto
amp. monitors the air mix door positions by measur ing 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 A/C auto amp. 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 FR ESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The new
door position data is returned to the A/C auto amp.

Air Mix Door Control Specification
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Air Mix Door Motors (front)
The driver (1) and passenger (2) air mix door motors are attached to
the front heater & cooling unit assembly. These motors rotate so that
the air mix door is opened or closed to a position set by the A/C auto
amp. Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft and the air mix
door position is then fed back to t
he A/C auto amp. by the PBR built
into the air mix door motors.
Air Mix Door Motor (rear)
The air mix door motor (rear) (1) is attached to the rear heater &
cooling unit assembly. 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 A/C auto amp. by the PBR built into
the air mix door motors.
