Air Distribution-Front Control

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When a mode switch position is selected, a signal is sent from the HVAC control module to the mode actuator through the mode door control circuit. The mode actuator moves the mode door to the desired position.

When the mode door moves to a desired position, a variable resistor within the actuator is used to create the mode door position signal. The HVAC module uses the mode door position signal to determine the actual mode door position. The left instrument panel fuse block provides power to the mode actuator through the ignition 3 voltage circuit and the IP wiring harness junction block. Power and ground are provided to the HVAC control module by the fuse block through the ignition 3 voltage circuit and the ground circuits through the right instrument panel junction block. A 5 volt reference signal is sent to the actuator through the 5 volt reference circuit, through the right instrument panel junction block, to the mode actuator.
