1. Heater unit includes mode control actuator and temperature control actuator.

2. Temperature control actuator is located at the heater unit. It regulates the temperature by the procedure as

follows. Signal from control unit adjusts position of temperature door by operating temperature switch
and then temperature will be regulated by the hot/cold air ratio decided by position of temperature door.

INSPECTION

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 4.

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