TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR MODE DOOR MOTOR (LAN)

Inspection Flow:

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component Parts
Mode door control system components are:
1. Auto amp.
2. Mode door motor (LCU)
3. In-vehicle sensor
4. Ambient sensor
5. Sunload sensor
6. Intake sensor






System Operation
The auto amplifier receives data from each of the sensors. The amplifier sends air mix door and mode door opening angle data to the air mix door motor LCU and mode door motor LCU.

Mode Door Control Specification / Automatic A/C:

The mode door motor and air mix door motor read their respective signals according to the address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amplifier and each of the motor position sensors are compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently, HOT/COLD or DEFROST/VENT operation is selected. The new selection data is returned to the auto amplifier.






COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The mode door motor is attached to the heater unit. It rotates so that air is discharged from the outlet set by the auto amplifier. Motor rotation is conveyed to a link which activates the mode door.


SYMPTOM:
* Mode door motor and/or air mix door motor does not operate normally.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR MODE DOOR MOTOR AND AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR CIRCUIT


CONTROL LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT






Mode Door
1. Install mode door motor on heater unit and connect it to main harness.
2. Set up code No. 41 in Self-diagnosis STEP 4.
3. Move side link by hand and hold mode door in DEF mode.
4. Attach mode door motor rod to side link rod holder.






5. Make sure mode door operates properly when changing from code No. 41 to 46 by pushing DEF switch.
