Component Inspection

Check driver temperature control actuator
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Disconnect driver temperature control actuator and connect A/C control unit main harness connector.
3. Connect (+) terminal of battery to WARM(+) of driver temperature control actuator and (-) terminal to COOL(-).(Component side)
4. Verify that the Air mix actuator(Temperature actuator) operates to the WARM position.
5. Verify that the Air mix actuator(Temperature actuator) operates to the COOL position with reverse connecting.( COOL(+) and WARM(-) ). (Component side)

Specification :Refer the specifications in Fig.1)
