Temperature control
actuator located at heater unit. It contains temp motor that changes temp
door position and potentiometer that monitors position of temp
door.Temperature control actuator regulates the temperature by the
procedure as follows. Signal from control unit adjusts position of temp
door by operating temp motor and then temperature will be regulated by the
hot/cold air ratio decided by position of temp door. In operation,
potentiometer delivers temp door position transformed into voltage value
to A/C ECU .
The ECM sets DTC B1204
if there is an open circuit or poor connection in the passenger air mix
actuator signal harness.

|
▶ 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. |
