WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The footwell vent door actuator is a stepper motor style actuator. The HVAC control module monitors the position of the footwell vent door by counting the motor steps as it rotates. The HVAC control module drives the actuator motor in the direction necessary to move the footwell vent door to the position set by the vehicle occupants.
