INTAKE DOOR MOTOR
INTAKE DOOR MOTOR
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001679789
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
SYMTOM:• Intake door motor does not operate normally.
• Intake door does not change.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Intake door control system components are:• A/C auto amp.
• A/C and AV switch assembly
• Intake door motor (PRB built into the intake door motor)
• In-vehicle sensor
• Ambient sensor
• Optical sensor
• Intake sensor
System Operation
The intake door control determines the intake door position based on the position of the recirculation switch.
When the recirculation switch is depressed the intake
door motor rotates closing off the fresh air inlet and
recirculating the cabin air. If the recirculation switch is depressed again, the intake door motor rotates in the
opposite direction, again allowing fresh air into the cabin.
In the AUTO mode, the A/C auto amp. determines the intake door position based on the ambient temperature,
the intake air temperature and the in-vehicle temperature. When the DEF, D/F, FLOOR or OFF switches are
pushed, the A/C auto amp. sets the intake door at the fresh position.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Intake door motor
The intake door motor is attached to the intake unit. It rotates so that
air is drawn from inlets set by the A/C auto amp. Motor rotation is
conveyed to a lever which activates the intake door.
Intake Door Motor Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000001679790
INSPECTION FLOW
1.CONFIRM SYMPTOM BY PERFORMING OPERATIONAL CHECK - REC ( )
1. Press the mode switch to vent mode( ).
2. Press REC ( ) switch. The REC ( )indicator should illuminate.
3. Press REC ( ) switch again. The REC ( ) indicator should go out.
4. Listen for intake door position change (you should hear blower sound change slightly).
Can a symptom be duplicated?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.PERFORM COMPLETE OPERATIONAL CHECK
Perform a complete operational check and check for any symptoms. Refer to HAC-4, "
Operational Check
