The mode control
actuator mounted on heater unit adjusts position of mode door by operating
Direction Motor in accordance with signal of A/C control unit. Pressing
mode select switch makes the mode control actuator shift in order of vent→
B/L → floor → mix.
The ECM sets DTC B2409
if the direction motor dosen't move to intended position within 40sec(The
ECM attempts to move the temp door for a 2 second duration at a frequency
of 3 times every 20 seconds before storing a DTC.)

1. |
Connect scantool to Data Link
Connector(DLC). |
2. |
Warm up the engine to normal operating
temperature. |
3. |
Monitor DTC(Diagnostics Trouble Code) on the
scantool.

|
4. |
Is the same DTC displayed again?

|
▶ Go to "
Inspection/Repair " procedure .
|

|
▶ Fault is
intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or
A/C-ECM connector or was repaired and A/C-ECM memory was not
cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness,
poorconnection, bending, corrosion, contamination,
deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and
go to "Verification of vehicle Repair"
procedure.
|
|
1. |
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are
caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by
interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or
chemical damage. |
2. |
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness,
poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration,or
damage. |
3. |
Has a problem been found?

|
▶ Repair as
necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair"
procedure
|

|
▶ Go to
"Motor control circuit Open Inspection"
procedure.
|
|
Motor Control Circuit Open Inspection
2. |
A/C-ECU, Driver Direction actuator :
Disconnect. |
3. |
Measure resistance between Motor(+) terminal
of Driver Direction actuator harness connector and Motor(+) terminal
of A/C-ECU harness connector. |
4. |
Measure resistance between Motor(-) terminal
of Driver Direction actuator harness connector and Motor(-) terminal
of A/C-ECU harness connector.
|
5. |
Is "resistance" display near the specified
value?

|
▶ Go to
"Motor control circuit short to ground Inspection"
procedure.
|

|
▶ Check for
open in harness. ▶ Repair as
necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair"
procedure.

2. |
A/C-ECU, Driver Direction actuator :
Disconnect. |
3. |
Connect (+) terminal of battery to WARM(+) of
Driver Direction actuator and (-) terminal to COOL(-) .(Component

Verification Of Vehicle
Repair |
After a repair, it is
essential to verifying that the fault has been corrected.
1. |
Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic
Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode. |
2. |
Using scantool, Clear
DTC. |
3. |
Operate the vehicle within DTC Enable
conditions in General information. |
4. |
Are any DTCs present?

|
▶ Go to the
applicable troubleshooting procedure.
|

|
▶ System is
