AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR

AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR

System Description

INFOID:0000000003935963

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Component Parts

Air mix door control system components are:

• Front air control
• Air mix door motor
• PBR (built into air mix door motor)
• Intake sensor

System Operation

The front air control receives data from the temperature selected by the driver. The front air control then
applies a voltage to one circuit of the air mix door motor, while ground is applied to the other circuit, causing
the air mix door motor to rotate. The direction of rotation is determined by which circuit has voltage applied to
it, and which one has ground applied to it. The front air control monitors the air mix door positions by measur-
ing the voltage signal on the PBR circuits of each door.

The air mix door motor (1) is attached to the front heater and cooling
unit assembly. This motor rotates so that the air mix door is opened
or closed to a position set by the front air control. Motor rotation is
then conveyed through a shaft and the air mix door position is then
fed back to the front air control by the PBR built into the air mix door
motor (

: Front).

INTAKE DOOR MOTOR

INTAKE DOOR MOTOR

System Description

INFOID:0000000003935966

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Component Parts

Intake door control system components are:

• Front air control
• Intake door motor
• Intake sensor

System Operation

The intake door control determines the intake door position based on the position of the recirculation switch.
When the recirculation switch is depressed the intake door motor rotates closing off the fresh air inlet and
recirculating the cabin air. If the recirculation switch is depressed again, the intake door motor rotates in the
opposite direction, again allowing fresh air into the cabin.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Intake door motor

The intake door motor is attached to the intake unit. It rotates so that
air is drawn from inlets set by the front air control. Motor rotation is
conveyed to a lever which activates the intake door.

Intake Door Motor Component Function Check

INFOID:0000000003935967

SYMPTOM:

• Intake door does not change.
• Intake door motor does not operate normally.

INSPECTION FLOW
