Repair Procedures: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Ignition "OFF"
  2. Disconnect the connector of temperature control actuator.
  3. Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the hot position when connecting 12V to the terminal 3 and grounding terminal 7.

    Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the cool position when connecting in the reverse.

  4. Check the voltage between terminals 4 and 5 (Drive).

    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

    [Passenger]

  5. Check the voltage between terminals 4 and 5 (Passenger).

    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 temperature control actuator and check for proper operation.
  7. If the problem is corrected, replace the temperature control actuator.
