MODE DOOR MOTOR

System Description

INFOID:0000000005147687

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Component Parts

Mode door control system components are:

• A/C auto amp.

• A/C and AV switch assembly

• Mode door motor (front)

• PBR (built into mode door motor)

• In-vehicle sensor

• Ambient sensor

• Optical sensor

• Intake sensor

System Operation

The mode door position (vent, B/L, foot, D/F, and defrost) is set by the A/C auto amp. by means of the mode

door motor (front). When a mode door position is selected on the A/C auto amp., voltage is applied to one cir-

cuit of the mode door motor (front) while ground is applied to the other circuit, causing the mode door motor

(front) 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 A/C auto amp. monitors the mode door position by measuring the voltage signal

on the PBR circuit.

In AUTO mode the mode door position is set by the A/C auto amp. which determines the proper position

based on inputs from the in-vehicle sensor, ambient sensor, optical sensor, intake sensor, and the temperature

selected by the driver or passenger.

MODE DOOR MOTOR

The mode door motor (front) is attached to the heater & cooling unit

assembly. It rotates so that air is discharged from the outlet as indi-

cated by the A/C auto amp. Motor rotation is conveyed to a link

which activates the mode door.

INSPECTION FLOW

1.

CONFIRM SYMPTOM BY PERFORMING OPERATIONAL CHECK - DISCHARGE AIR

1. Press mode switch four times and then press the

(DEF) switch. Each position indicator should change

shape (on display).

2. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distribution table. Refer to

HAC-16, "Discharge

Air Flow (Front)"

.

NOTE:

Confirm that the compressor clutch is engaged (visual inspection) and intake door position is at FRESH

when DEF (

) or D/F (

) is selected.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> Inspection End.

NO

>> Go to diagnosis procedure. Refer to

HAC-26, "Mode Door Motor (Front) Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Mode Door Motor (Front) Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000005147689

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to

HAC-91, "Wiring Diagram"

.

SYMPTOM:

• Air outlet does not change.

• Mode door motor does not operate normally.

1.

CHECK A/C AUTO AMP. FOR POWER AND GROUND

1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Press the mode switch to the B/L (

) mode.

3. Check voltage between A/C auto amp. harness connector M49

terminal 19 and terminal 20 while pressing the mode switch to
the floor (

) mode.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 3.

NO

>> GO TO 2.
