Test C: Incorrect/Erratic Direction Of Airflow From Outlets
PINPOINT TEST C: INCORRECT/ERRATIC DIRECTION OF AIRFLOW FROM OUTLETSNormal Operation
Under normal operation, to rotate the mode door actuator clockwise, the HVAC supplies voltage to the floor/defrost/panel mode door actuator motor through the circuit CH228 (YE/GY), and supplies ground through circuit CH229 (WH/BU). To rotate the mode door actuator counterclockwise, the HVAC module reverses the voltage and ground circuits.
The mode door actuator feedback resistor is supplied a ground from the HVAC module through circuit RH111 (GY/BU) and a 5-volt reference voltage on circuit LH111 (BN/WH). The HVAC module reads the voltage on the mode door actuator feedback circuit VH436 (YE/VT) to determine the mode door actuator position by the position of the actuator feedback resistor wiper arm.
