INTAKE DOOR MOTOR

System Description


SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

- Intake door motor does not operate normally.
- Intake door does not change.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Component Parts
- Front air control
- Intake door motor (PRB built into the intake door motor)
- In-vehicle sensor
- Ambient sensor
- Optical sensor
- Intake sensor
System Operation
The intake door control determines the intake door position based on the position of the recirculation switch.
When the recirculation switch is depressed the intake door motor rotates closing off the fresh air inlet and recirculating the cabin air. If the recirculation switch is depressed again, the intake door motor rotates in the opposite direction, again allowing fresh air into the cabin.
In the AUTO mode, the front air control determines the intake door position based on the ambient temperature, the intake air temperature and the in-vehicle temperature. When the DEF, D/F, FOOT or OFF switches are pushed, the front air control sets the intake door at the fresh position.










Intake Door Control Specification

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Intake door motor





The intake door motor is attached to the intake unit. It rotates so that air is drawn from inlets set by the front air control. Motor rotation is conveyed to a lever which activates the intake door.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR INTAKE DOOR MOTOR


1. CHECK INTAKE DOOR MOTOR CIRCUITS FOR OPEN AND SHORT TO GROUND






1.Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.Disconnect the front air control harness connector M49 (A) and the intake door motor harness connector M58 (B).
3.Check continuity between front air control harness connector
M49 (A) terminals 21, 22 and the intake door motor harness connector M58 (B) terminals 1, 6.










4.Check continuity between front air control harness connector
M49 terminals 21, 22 and ground.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 3.
NO- Repair or replace harness as necessary.

2. CHECK FRONT AIR CONTROL FOR INTAKE AIR DOOR MOTOR POWER AND GROUND






1.Reconnect front air control harness connector.
2.Turn ignition switch ON.
3.Check voltage between front air control harness connector M49
terminal 21 and terminal 22 while placing the HVAC system into self-diagnostic mode.





Is the inspection result normal?
