Check A/C Control Unit
1. Engine "ON".
2. Disconnect passenger air mix actuator.
3. Measure voltage value between terminal "1" of A/C control unit and chassis ground.

Specification : 5V





4. Is the measured voltage within specifications ?





Check passenger air mix actuator.
1. Check actuator motor
(1) Ignition "OFF".
(2) Disconnect passenger air mix actuator.
(3) Connect (+) terminal of battery to terminal 3 of passenger air mix actuator and (-) terminal to terminal 4
(4) Verify that the temperature actuator operates to the hot position
