- Connect the temperature control actuator connector.
- Turn the ignition switch ON.
- Check the voltage between terminal 5 and 6.DOOR POSITION AND VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION
Door Position Voltage (V) Error Detecting Max. cooling 0.3 ± 0.15 Low voltage: 0.1V or less
High voltage: 4.9V or moreMax. heating 4.7 ± 0.15 It will feedback the current position of the actuator to controls.
- If the measured voltage is not within specification, substitute with a known-good temperature control actuator and check for proper operation.
- Replace the temperature control actuator if it is proved that there is a problem with it.
