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 set by the auto ampli-
fier. Motor rotation is conveyed to a link which activates the mode
door.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
SYMPTOM: Mode door motor and/or air mix door motor does not operate normally.
Perform diagnostic procedure for LAN system circuit. Refer toATC-56, "
LAN System Circuit".
Air Mix Door Motor CircuitEJS001H2
SYMPTOM:
lDischarge air temperature does not change.
lAir mix door motor does not operate.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Air Mix Door Motor
The air mix door motor is attached to the heater & cooling unit. It
rotates so that the air mix door is opened or closed to a position set
by the auto amplifier. The air mix door position is then fed back to the
auto amplifier by PBR built-in air mix door motor.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
SYMPTOM: Discharge air temperature does not change.
Perform diagnostic procedure for LAN system circuit. Refer toAT C - 5 6 , "
LAN System Circuit".
Intake Door Motor CircuitEJS001H3
SYMPTOM:
lIntake door does not change.
lIntake door motor does not operate normally.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Aspirator
The aspirator is located on front side of heater & cooling unit. It pro-
duces vacuum pressure due to air discharged from the heater &
cooling unit, continuously taking compartment air in the aspirator.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
SYMPTOM: In-vehicle sensor circuit is open or shorted. (22 or -22 is
indicated on auto amp. as a result of conducting Self-diagnosis
STEP 2.)
1.CHECK IN-VEHICLE SENSOR CIRCUIT BETWEEN IN-VEHICLE SENSOR AND BODY GROUND
Disconnect in-vehicle sensor harness connector.

Yes >>GOTO2.
No >> GO TO 4.

Intake Sensor CircuitEJS001HE
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Intake Sensor
The intake sensor is located on the heater & cooling unit. It converts
temperature of air after it passes through the evaporator into a resis-
tance value which is then input to the auto amp.
After disconnecting intake sensor harness connector, measure resis-
tance between terminals 1 and 2 at sensor harness side, using the
table below.
If NG, replace intake sensor.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
SYMPTOM: Intake sensor circuit is open or shorted. (24 or -24) is
indicated on auto amp. as a result of conducting Self-diagnosis
STEP 2.)
