HVAC SYSTEM (AUTO A/C)(DIAGNOSTIC)
Diagnostic Procedure for Actuators
Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR INTAKE
DOOR ACTUATOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the intake door actuator con-
nector.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between intake door
actuator connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B91) No. 4 (+) — Chassis ground (
− ):
Is the voltage 7 V (at normal
temperature)?
Go to step 2. Check open or
short circuit in har-
ness between
intake door actua-
tor and fuse.
2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN AUTO A/C
CONTROL MODULE AND INTAKE DOOR
ACTUATOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the auto A/C control module
connector.
3) Measure the resistance between intake
door actuator connector and auto A/C control
module connector.
Connector & terminal
LHD model:
(i49) No. 18 — (B91) No. 2:
(i49) No. 19 — (B91) No. 3:
(i49) No. 20 — (B91) No. 1:
RHD model:
(i49) No. 18 — (B91) No. 1:
(i49) No. 19 — (B91) No. 3:
(i49) No. 20 — (B91) No. 2:
Is the resistance less than 1
Ω?
Go to step 3. Repair the har-
ness between auto
A/C control mod-
ule and intake
door actuator.
3 CHECK OPERATION OF INTAKE DOOR AC-
TUATOR.
1) Connect the intake door actuator connec-
tor.
2) Ground the auto A/C control module con-
nector with a suitable wire.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and check
the operation of intake door actuator.
Connector & terminal
(i49) No. 20 — Chassis ground:
Does the actuator move to
FRESH side?
Go to step 4. Replace the intake
door actuator.
4 CHECK OPERATION OF INTAKE DOOR AC-
TUATOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Ground the auto A/C control module con-
nector with a suitable wire.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and check
the operation of intake door actuator.
Connector & terminal:
(i49) No. 18 — Chassis ground:
Does the actuator move to
RECIRC side?
Replace the auto
A/C control mod-
ule.
Replace the intake
door actuator.
