Component Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

■ Check Intake Actuator 

  1. Ignition "OFF"
  2. Disconnect Intake actuator and connect A/C control unit main harness connector.
  3. Connect (+) terminal of battery to FRE (+) of intake actuator and (-) terminal to REC (-) (Component Side).
  4. Verify that the actuator operates to the FRE position.
  5. Verify that the Intake actuator operates to the REC position with reverse connecting (REC (+) and FRE (-)) (Component Side).

    Specification  : (Refer the Specifications in Fig.1)

    Battery Terminal 12 V ground FRE
    ground 12 V REC

    (Fig.1) * Function of the actuator motor according to terminal connection type (Observe Safety Regulations).

  6. Is "Door Position" display near the specified value?

    YES 

    NO 

    • Substitute with a known-good Intake actuator and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace Intake actuator and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

■ Check Potentiometer 

  1. Ignition "OFF"
  2. Disconnect Intake actuator and A/C control unit main harness connector.
  3. Ignition "ON" (ENGINE "OFF").
  4. Measure voltage between Signal (F/B) terminal of Intake actuator harness connector and chassis ground (Component Side).

    Specification  : (Refer the Specifications in Fig.2)

    FRE 0.3 ± 0.15V
    REC 4.7 ± 0.15V

    (Fig.2) * Voltage value of intake potentiometer as a function of intake door position.

  5. Is "Voltage" display near the specified value?

    YES 

    • Check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

    NO 

    • Substitute with a known-good Intake actuator and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace Intake actuator and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
