    Specification 

    Door position Voltage(4-5) Error detecting
    Max. cooling 0.3 ± 0.15V Low voltage:0.1V or less
    Max. heating 4.7 ± 0.15V High voltage:4.9V or more

    It will feedback current position of actuator to controls.

  6. If the measured voltage is not specification, substitute with a known-good mode control actuator and check for proper operation.
