Driver's Cool Vent Control Motor Test

Driver's Cool Vent Control Motor Test

NOTE: Before testing, check for HVAC DTCs.

1. Disconnect the 5P connector from the driver's cool vent control motor.

NOTE: Incorrectly applying power and ground to the driver's cool vent control motor will damage it. Follow the instructions carefully.




2. Connect battery power to the No. 1 terminal of the driver's cool vent control motor, and ground the No. 2 terminal; the driver's cool vent control motor should run, and stop at Open. If it doesn't, reverse the connections; the driver's cool vent control motor should run, and stop at Shut.
3. If the driver's cool vent control motor did not run in step 2, remove it, then check the driver's cool vent control linkage and door for smooth movement.
- If the linkage and door move smoothly, replace the driver's cool vent control motor.
- If the linkage or door sticks or binds, repair them as needed.
